I have a piece of my hip and a steel rod and numerous screws in my leg thanks to a motorcycle accident.

 

That's a good feeling!


I had a bike accident when I was young (6 or 7). I got run off the road by a truck, and 45 minutes later the ER doctor was picking gravel out of my knee with a tweezers and no anestesia. 30 minutes of that was a thrill, let me tell you... plus the old lady in the next room screaming the whole time...

 

Why is it that almost everyone who rides a motorcycle has stories like these... The problem is that maybe people start riding them too young and the testosterone is not contradicted by proper common sense.

Brunt, in the spirit of a holiday blessing, may you have the wind at your back and experience no trips to the ER in the near future (unless it's from excessive blotto-ness on NY eve).

 

I crashed on one and broke my collarbone. Haven't allowed myself to ride since... I'm a little too likely to take it beyond 100%. Not a good idea on a bike.

 

People who ride all have "war stories" to tell. It's the nature of the game. You have the same phenomenon in bicycles, except the accidents typically happen at lower speeds...but it hurts just as much.

As for testosterone, I've got nothing to prove. There's a part of me that likes to push limits, but I also realize that I wanna live to push limits for years to come...so I try not to overshoot my abilities by TOO much.

 

I believe you overshot your limits when you bought your first pair of spandex 'bike' pants...

 

Aahhh hahahahah!

LOL

Good stuff Zoe! "D

yikes....
spandex or capri pants?

 

It should be noted that my story was a bicycle one. Of course I was wearing shorts, and thus my knee got a direct injection of gravel with nothing to hold it back.
