    Bike related injuries that wont go away...

    Hey everyone,

    I know a few people on here have them... Im 19, have been riding 18 months and crashed 8 times... I now have a shoulder that is stuffed and gets twinges of pain every so often (especially in the cold) and a index finger that hurts sometimes too.....

    yall know about my fucked shoulder--no strenth in my left arm--no comments from the cheap seats.
    my hips and knees give me shit nowadays from alm the bucket crashes

    Left elbow tends to lock up when riding in the cold. Also lose feeling in my pinky and ring finger every now and then.

    Well, let me see. There's the steel pin that screwed on the side cover of my 1972 Suzook 250 that went through my ankle joint, also severed the nerves to the foot. Then there's the left calf muscle that got squished between the car bonnet & the tank as I tried to leap out of the road, (she was real keen to meet me though, had to speed through a stop sign to get me), still got that dent. Then there's the knees & hips from usual learning to ride on 70's Jap plastic tyres, (rim protectors). Then there's the dodgy neck from when the tow truck got me, (that pissed feckin arsehole had to indicate right then rapidly swing left across 3 lanes to get me). Landed I my dumb arse head & wrote my shiney new Bell helmet off, (they were the go back in the 70's. Then there's the sore elbow I get from dropping it at low speed, (pissed as a rat & had KK's boss on the back - different social circumstances back then - being pissed that is). So what was question?
    It is better to have ridden & crashed than never to have ridden at all

    After 7 months I still have no feeling in my knee and signs of bruising. Every now and then after some light manual duties in the garden my back aches a bit from where I broke it. Otherwise no other lasting injuries, except getting another bike 2 months after I wrote the last one off ( brain damage according to my workmates )

    At my age (51) some would expect some aches and pains,especialy after a lifetime of riding bikes and working on cars,trucks,tractors,compressors and lawnmowers for a living - but I'm not the sort of person who thinks a certain talley of numbers means I have to act or be that age physicaly.I was always light and supple - I could always get into the full lotus without using my hands to put my legs there...can't do it now.After going around in circles holding my left leg out with a steel shoe on the end,and the resulting twists and bangs dumping,the hip can give a twinge and not get full movement - swinging a leg over a tall dirtbike is something I have to think about now.Left middle fingertip still has damaged nerves from pulling in the clutch to keep the engine going in a fall....and my right arm has pain in the shoulder,tricep muscles/ligaments,can't get full rotation there,dunno the reason for that...

    So not too bad considering the pounding I have dished out to my body riding on and off road for 35 yrs,smashing my hands and straining my body in my job.

    Damn - you guys are messed up.

    I've only got one. A neck that won't move in the morning until I twist it - then it goes crack-crack-crack-crack and it moves again.

    Of course if you wanna know about rugby injuries we might be a while...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    i don't think my wrist from a low-speed low-side a few months back really makes it onto the list somehow.

    Shit ACC would be out of business if it wasnt for us.
    My neck and shoulders are like spaghetti after to many highsides on the track, and going over the handlebars on the MX tracks. My ankles sieze up in the winter from being broken so many times. God, come to think about it, I cant remmber how many times I've broken my bones. Now my 11yr old boy has just crashed his bike and broken a rib and compressed his chest. Poor kid.
    Too much of everything adds up to just enough
