As you have had surgery for a left clavicle fracture and it has been 5 months since the surgery, it is best to consult with your doctor before you start riding your motorcycle. Your doctor will assess the current status of your fracture, and also evaluate the strength and mobility of your left shoulder. Riding a motorcycle requires a certain level of physical strength, stability and mobility in your upper body, especially in your shoulders and arms. Depending on your progress, your doctor may give you specific guidelines and recommendations to follow before you resume your motorcycle riding activities. It is important to prioritize your safety and follow your doctor's advice to prevent any further injuries or complications.
