    Just make up some heel straps for the footpegs.

    A. You wont drop a foot off by accident again
    B. It will make it easier to steer with your leg in plaster.

    PS. Ozzie in Holland buggies quite successfully with one leg.
    PPS. Morphine on demand is a wonderful thing and it's even better if they give you a shot of liquid paracetamol in with it. Weeeeeeeeee :crazypilot:

    Sorry to hear about you breaking your legs Wise. That sure must have hurt when it happened. So I suppose you had some kiting budies to help you get to hospital. Hope the farm work doesn't suffer too much. All the best with your recovery.

    Regards,
    Norman.

    Morphine is great for that quick hit, but it wears off a little soon.

    Its Oxycontin you want mate, a couple of tabs a day and you will be back on the dance floor in no time :D
