Fractured Radius Bone - Would you Scooter It ???

[Frosties]

Hiya fellas, as per title again.


Went ice skating with the kids yesterday, arse over tit a few times and landed on me left hand more than once in pretty much the same way as if you have an off and stick your hand down. Result - extended fracture of left Radius bone. Had a "back slab" cast fitted this morning and back to fracture clinic next friday for full cast.


Problem - commute 50 miles each way to Canary Wharf & whilst the car is an auto it's also over 200Bhp and will give about 25mpg average + parking charges + congestion. Biking it saves me £800/month, I'm self employed and the cast could be on for 7 weeks from now and then time for hand to get back to life for the clutch operation.


I'm aware that the insurance may not cough if I have an issue but looking at a 250 Burgman for the 2 months - then sell it on.


Anyone been in a similar position ? Can you ride a scooter with a modest left hand grip factor?


Never ridden any scooter so not sure what to expect.


Any advice as always appreciated, even if it's to call me a tw@ for even considering a scooter.


Cheers
