I wanted to wait until I had all the information since this just happened about 24 hours ago now before I posted anything but you guys are really supportive so I guess I can post it now.
I was riding yesterday with a friend and we were hitting some really awesome roads and going about 10-15mph over when part of the road turned into a really HUGE downslope and I tried to slow down, in part to avoid wet leaves and the other part because this turn was nuts and locked up my rear brake which then caused the bike to skid out and I was thrown from the bike and landed in-between 2 poles that had a about a 3 foot gap inbetween them but stopped just short of the tree that was directly in the middle-front of those two poles. I landed in a massive amount of thorns/prickerbushes but I was wearing all my gear and came out of it extrememly lucky.
I was taken in an ambulance to St. Joseph's hospital where they told me I broke my collarbone, severely bruised my lower spine, and have an abundance of huge bruises on my legs and some cuts from the thorns digging into my legs while I was waiting for the ambulance. I'm in a lot of pain and I can barely move and typing is pretty difficult. I've never broken anything before so this is pretty painful IMO.
Thank you for your support!

Heal up quick!
As someone who recently broke their clavicle I can tell you it heals pretty quick, make sure you do P.T. because your shoulder will get weak quickly... Also if there is any chance you need surgery DO IT. I should have had it and I didn't.![]()

Good luck with your recovery. I hear the collarbone is the most painful bone to break.
Friends don't let friends wave to Can Ams
Good luck with the recovery, heal up soon. On the plus side of all this, at least it happened at the end of the season, and not the beginning.
Thanks, I don't even know what happened to my bike yet because I have yet to see it. Friends are bringing it to my work so I can see what the damage is![]()

It's extremely painful. You don't even realize how much you need this little bone until its broken. I can't do ANYTHING, not even put on a bra!Although some here would say that's not a problem haha. But I'm still in generally good spirits and will be back on the bike in the spring. I just got off the phone with the cop and he couldn't stop telling me how lucky I was. FYI there has been 19 well now 20 accidents in that spot!

That sucks gixxerBut glad to hear for the most part you are ok. You've got all winter to heal up at least. and remember, there are two kinds of riders- those that have gone down and those who will. Heal up fast kiddo!
