So I usually don't post new topics, but being at college (UCLA ROCKS) and all got me thinking about bikers. We all have a few things in common, and that is that we all love riding. But the hazards of riding affect us all, especially getting in accidents and whatnot. With all those accidents, broken bones are inevitable. So if you would please, a short story about your accident, and your hardware.
Me:
Got ran over by a white van. Sideswiped me and put me through his window.
Fractured jaw (twice).
7 SCREWS AND A T-PLATE. Left raduis.

first off, that sucks dude...
second of all, UCLA does ROCK! ...thats where i want to go.
thirdly...
i've had three accidents so far..(within 1 year)
1st:
not a scratch on me but the bike ALMOST totalled. highside...was sliding on my gloves for a second or two...low speed.
2nd:
bike fell on right ankle after coming out of a turn....rear spun out...wobbled and then BAM i'm stuck under the bike with my ankle twisted at a 180 degree angle and i couldn't move it....damn, it hurt soo much.....couldn't ride/walk for a month. (was w/ crutches)...and road rash on knee....cast on right arm(this was for something else tho...snowboarding accident..the crash just made it worst.)
3rd:
about 4 months after the 2nd....tried a rolling burnout.....tire caught traction....bike threw me away...and the bike fell on the same anke....the ankle hurt for about a week.
anyway, we all go down and will probably continue to do so....but whats important is that we get back up.

You know, this just occurred to me in my stream of concious thought - guys will never end up with more hardware inserted into their body than ladies have
Ok, from my accident I only permanent have 4 screws and a plate in my neck. The 4 bolts drilled in my skull were removed, as were the staples in my hip.

couple of screws in my knee, but not motorcycle-related.
If you're airing it out in a halfpipe, remember to bend your knees on landing...that is all.

Broke my neck, but with it being C5, I didn't have a halo drilled. Also broke my arm, but it set with only plaster. My cheek and chin - nah, they just let them heal on their own.
