Default RE: Use a glove to handstart large engines!!

Sorry about your finger, Nate. I wouldn't worry about getting a starter; something tells me you won't do this again

I hope it didn't get your thumbs (or your pincher fingers if you're one of those)

I was trying to be a little 'greener' and take my bike to work yesterday, so I pulled it out of the garage and went to pump up the tires. Somehow I pulled the pump off and slammed my thumb at the base of the nail into the disc brake edge on the front wheel, and all I could think about was how much it would hurt to fly a plane the next day. With that in mind I iced it up all night and it's not too bad today - swollen and bruised but I flew just fine with it.

Drink lots of OJ, vitamin C is great for healing. Hope you feel better,

Joe
