Bike related injuries that wont go away...

[surfchick]

I'm feeling deprived! 39 yrs of riding and not one scar,twinge,ache,convulsion to show for it!
Obviouslly not a real biker, huh....

Can I make some up??????

i'm glad you haven't- i sooooo don't want to crash. cuts, gashes, rashes and grazes would be fine...anything but broken bones that sieze in the cold atlantic ocean that i surf in...soo totally stoked you have been riding for ages with no crashes. you are my idol... wait a second, you said not one scar- that doesn't nesc. mean no crashes??

12 Years riding and haven't managed to injure myself or my bike yet! Anyways, My concern here is that the originator of this post has suffered 8 crashes in 18 months??? Thats basically a crash every couple of months!
Whats up with that? Get off the turps dude!

I thought that's what I did....I can only clain the finger as a rightful bike injury and nerve regenaration is almost complete.

It's easier to list the bits that are still good - back but not my neck and my left wrist. Everything else is so screwed it dislocates when I turn over in bed or aches like hell in the cold.

Yeah.
Good ole DIY and "oopses".
My worst accident of any kind was caused by my socks. Nine stitches in my face, wrecked shoulder, probably a broken nose. Face hurts when the barometer drops.

I just KNOW I'm going to regret this, but, ??? SOCKS ????. The world wonders ?

Havnt had a crash in 6 months... but in saying that i will probably bin it at manfield on the 25th of June...

As i said in my reasons for crashing... only 1 was a learning mistake (unlucky that a car was coming the other way, how many people have gone wide on a corner) and 2 were because i was being a dickhead (all done in quiet areas at low speed) The RGV crash could have been stopped by myself pulling in the clutch quicker but i didnt so i highsided, The 600 crash was a "shit happens" because of the desiel.The 8th one i forgot, was i got rearended by a car. and the other two are on the track... I dont really see a problem with that...

Many people here have ridden with me, and know what kind of rider i am, skill level I have... I have also clocked up over 45000km worth of riding, so you cant exactly call me inexperienced...

I burnt my finger once after replacing my broken sparkplug and poking the header with my fingered glove to see if the cylinder was working! Thats about it.

Heh want to talk stupid mistakes like that...

Had the shift lever on the CMX go down past where it was suposed to be once and I got off and had to fight it to get it back up. Grabed piece of frame (or so I thought) to get some leverage on it and a few seconds later was running around shouting curse words and the lot. Damn exhaust header... Didn't leave any marks though.

I KNOW A GUY WHO HAD HIS HAND GO THRU THE REAR SPROCKET AND CHAIN OF A VFR400K , HE PUT OIL ON THE CHAIN IT WAS 30/40 AND IT STARTED DRIPPING OFF SO HE PUT IT ON THE CENTRE STAND STARTED THE BIKE PUT IT IN GEAR STARTED IT LET THE WHEEL SPIN AND PROCEED TO WIPE THE OIL OFF WITH A RAG WHICH WENT THRU THE SPROCKET THE CONTAMINATION FROM THE OIL IN HIS FLESH WAS AS BAD AS THE CRUSHED BONES

Used to have two fingers where the skin on the inside of the finger was all white and dead, no feeling at all, from picking up a piece of hot metal when welding. Was like that for years, then it went away, all good now.

I have a scar from my trike before I was big enough to ride motorbikes 40 years ago.

That must count

I'm hoping it involved a polished wood floor - I'd hate to think that another person's socks can kill at twenty paces...

Apart from the Ole BMX knee, I had to go to the hospital again the Monday, back on crutchs and knee brace ( Pfft ). And booked a loverly appointment with the Orthopaedic surgeon.

Nobody ever told you not to close your fingers over your thumb when you make a fist, did they?

Good luck with the op and recovery.

Again! You seem to have regenerated from practically everything known to damage humankind. Your ancestors didn't "dally" with a few starfish or axolotyls at any stage, did they?

I also recall you've ridden bikes my grandfather told me about - I'm beginning to suspect you're some kind of Immortal...
