Track day at Willow Springs on Monday. Lots of rain combined with oil from cars crashing the day before and silentbob not knowing how to reduce speed wanting to reduce speed for current track conditions = dislocated shoulder + broken bike. Put shoulder back in socket on Tuesday. Waiting for Ducati parts.
Ouch man - broken spine??!! fawk. I am guessing it is not worse if you are up late posting about it. Hope you heal up soon.
What bike were you on?

Ahh, where did you come up with broken spine? Are we just making up injuries for silentbob now. [laugh] (broken BIKE, not BACK)
But that sucks Bob, hope you get things sorted out for the riding season.
Guess that means 6 to 8 weeks of punching babies with the other arm.
Hope you and your bike heals soon.
To a quick and complete recovery for you and the bike [beer]
Well at least you can make fun of yourself that is always a good sign. GL with your repair and the repair of the bike.
Sorry to hear about your incident.
Heal up quick!

If I learned one thing about crashing it's this: All drug advisories are written by people with poor understanding of English. When the bottle says "Do not to mix with alcohol," they mean "Only effective when taken with alcohol."

Hope you and the bike feel better soon!
Heal up, & quit trying to be like Spidey. ;D
Oh, drink more [drink]
I was on the 1098 which was outfitted like a giant Nerf toy. It was wearing underbody frame sliders, rear axle sliders, fork sliders, bar end sliders, and SharkSkinz bodywork. The only non Nerf item that got damaged were my Sato rear sets. The gearbox was also giving problems that day and finally stopped shifting, otherwise I'd still be riding the thing.
My gear has already been crash tested a few times and aside from a few more tears and holes in my Vanson it is no worse for the wear. My new Sidi Corse boots took a serious beating. I didn't know my leg was ever in any danger until I went to take off my gear and found serious rash and missing pieces all over my boot from the toes to the top of the ankle. For some reason I went off the track head first and my helmet acted as a brake so I will have to replace it because I don't know how much the foam inside has compressed.
I had a headache for the rest of the day and I wasn't able to lift my shoulder at all but I was able to drive the big blue truck back home. I thank the Air Force for putting power steering in that beast. Tuesday I had some emergency meetings at work so I couldn't go to the doctor. I could tell something was wrong since my two shoulders did not line up and I couldn't lift my arm. That night I took some pain killers and slept on top of the shoulder and when I woke up it was back in place. Everything was lined up and aside from some soreness I could move it through its full range of motion. I even went to the gym at work on Wednesday just to test it out. My boss thinks I have Wolverine like healing powers.
Yeah you do, just tell me you didn't go off in turn 9....That place tears things up....I would still get the shoulder checked out though.
Glad to hear you're doing better. Good thing you're not losing a season.
Heal quick, drink beer, milk the injury for all the boobies you can. [evil]
Sorry to hear that, Hope you and the bike are back out there soon.
get better dude
Godspeed Brother. Hope no lingering after effects.
Get back in the saddle soon . Dolph, :)
sorry to hear about your spill. glad you shoulder went back in socket, but get it checked to make sure you didn't tear anything in there. my still hurts (torn rotater cuff never repaired)
Well glad I misread your first post (I don't really carefully read anthing you guys post here if you couldn't tell) and that you are not laid up with a broken back!

I told you, I'm bringing back the 70's.
[laugh]
Do get the shoulder checked out, hippie. You don't want to lose range of motion in it later from something that should have been fixed scarring down instead.
Hope you heal up quickly!

Sorry to hear about the crash. Make sure you didn't damage the collar bone, things snap like a pencil
