So a conversation with Ron505 got me thinking......scary usually.
Each time I get injured people, especially my father, ask how I can keep riding. I really dont know how to explain it but I cant imagine quitting. I can only attribute it to the rush, competition and the friends. But given my injury list I can see why people think Im an idiot. So I thought Id see what everyones carnage has been and ask why you still ride or why you quit.
Broken
- wrist 3 times
- finger
- toe
- Shoulder blade
- ribs
- radius and ulna
- both humerous at the same time
- ACL
- radius
- ankle 3 times, once with surgery
- tailbone partially removed
- split my lip open so bad I had to go get stitches, made it back from the hospital in time for the 2nd set of motos though!
Im now 49 and have been riding since I was 6, racing since 18. I dont think thats too bad for 43 years!
