LOL. I just had mine pulled last week. No surgery involved. Just some novocain and lots of pulling, prying, twisting, and ripping. You feel it, but once its out its not too bad. I didn't ride, because I needed to haul some large objects to the office, so I figured that would be a good day to drive. I only needed stitches for one out of four teeth. Based on my experience, I'd say you could ride. The bleeding is more annoying than the pain. You might have to stop a few times to swap some bloody gauze for clean, but if your experience is similar to mine (not guaranteed), there's nothing really to stop you from riding.
Good luck!
