Yeah, if you're comfortable why not? Just remember if you bump your finger and it sends pain throughout you body you may seize up and drop it or something like that. Just depends on your comfort level I guess.

If it were me....I wouldn't risk it for a few weeks. And since your signature lists another fun toy...the Vette...I would go play with that until your hand has some time to heal

I broke my right leg a few years back and was unable to walk for over 3 months. I missed riding so much that I strapped my crutches to the bike, rested my cast on the footpeg and took a short ride. It was a mistake. But if you're like me, you'll have to find out for yourself. Be careful.

Professional racers race all the time with injuries, (eg. Tommy Hayden with a broken hand a couple of weeks ago). If they can do it I really don't know why you shouldn't be able to.

Ummm...there are several reasons why your Hayden analogy holds no water...brnrubber is not a professional rider, he doesn't get paid to ride (and may not get paid from his employer if he further injures himself riding), I assume he doesn't have the almost unlimited parts budget that Hayden has...and not to mention, Hayden was on the RACE TRACK, if Hayden crashes he won't hit me, a car or something else that may kill him
