I'm not sure if this counts or not but here it is:

1993 chasing an AMA district Hare Scramble title, broke right scapula.
1994 chasing an AMA district Hare Scramble title, broke left scapula.

I was thinking 1995 I'll finally win it as I don't have any other shoulders to break.

.

Nope didn't win it anyway, finished second.....Guy that won had two fresh arms.

19th of june this summer. A lady comming in opposite direction turned left in front of me. Of course she had a 4x4. Hit the fender. Then like they say, no more picture, no more sound. I woke up lying on the road with medic around me. Stayed a week in hospital. Surgery in left wrist, had to install a plate with 8 screws. 14 stitches above right eye and lost a bit of eye vision with it. Family jewel was so blue, I tought I was gonna lose it LOL. But no, it's still working. 07UC total lost. Regain 65% of mobility in the wrist when the doctor told me I would only regain 50%. The strenght is back and started riding again a month ago on the new 09UC paid entirely by the insurance company. That's when your glad you paid a little more to have the "replacement without depreciation" clause.

Like they say, "the day your not scared no more, sell your bike because thats when your gonna kill yourself." I'm alwas a bit scared when I get on mine. Keeps me realize what can happen and keeps me alert. Still, an accident can happen like it did to me but I least I know it didn't happen because I was carelous.
