My last motorcycle accident was in 2005 where I fractured my Scapula and my Clavical and broke a couple ribs. This wasn't on the dirt however, I wrecked my 2003 Honda CBR 954RR when I low sided going around a corner.

 No bones broken riding the KX500, does that mean I dont ride aggressively enough ? John

broke my left shin bone on the handlebar crossbar of my 1980 xl500 when i was 13 and my other leg was tangled in the forks which where bent back so far that the front  wheel was against the bottom of the motor. the bike was very unridable at that point. stayed in a cast, then a soft cast for six months. also had a half dozen concusions so far. havent crashed big for a long while so i am due for some pain oh well i'm willing to pay the price.

I tore my shoulder off my color bone racing bmx,complet a/c sep. I broke my right ankle over jumping a 70 footer and landing flat gound,never crashed. I fell out of the back of my buddies golf cart when he was driving like a bone head, hit my head on the asphalt at 20 mph and was unconscious for six hours and had seven fractures to the skull,wasn't even drunk yet. I got ran over from behind by a car on my 24 speed, fractured my orbital socket and temple, that was my third time loosing to a car on a bicycle then I went to jail for cussing at the police in the hospital. I fell off the monkey bars in grade school hit my head on concrete fractured skull and had a tube in my head for the swelling. I have had countless stiches road rash and bruises. Growing up I was always the first to try anything from jumping cars on my Bicycle to riding off the house if you could do it I would try it no matter how high or how far it was I wanted to go bigger. My dad called me awful kinoful when I was a kid becaus my idol was Evel knievel. I'm 34 and I wake up in pain every day. :-D

I've broke numerous fingers while riding by catching vine and small trees with the bars and the lever coming back into them, then I discovered bark busters!!!  I destroyed a knee while trail riding. Tore the ACL completely apart have a plate 5 screws, bone glue and coral in there now also had a tibial plateu fracture in same leg same accident. Strong as ever and don't even show signs it was hurt. Good surgeon. did that one by catching a toe in mud and my foot rotated outward and my heel hit the back of my thigh.

Dislocated leg in a street bike crash. Hip bone was basically where the top of my back pocket was.  Broke my wrist last year in a hillclimb. 2.3 seconds on 120-130 ft hill. I set fast time on that hill but it wasn't pretty. K5 launched 20 ft before the lights and we flew 20 ft past the top of hill before landing in the weeds in the dark. When I finally quit seeing stars, I was glad that the only thing that hurt was my wrist. It still hurts... :lol:
  I usually witness a few each year and that keeps me in check.

 Fingers and toes count? Plenty of times I've had really messed up fingers before my Bark busters. On my first dirt drag with the k5 I flipped it in practice run. The dirt was shiny from packing it so hard. Everyone was just dumping the clutch and spinning. No hook-up apparently. I got ready, staged, pinned it, dumped clutch fractions before I saw the light change and WHAM, I was on my back. I thought that I flipped it right out of the hole, but when I gathered myself, I realized that it took probably 50ft to be upside down. The bars landed on my toes on the right foot and broke them all.
 I had to race my 250 against nitrous injected quads and got spanked. It was outlaw drags with no classes. It was supposed to be just for fun, but was pretty costly. Wasted my silencer, sub-frame, and fender. (and 5 toes) :-(
