The most gruesome part. Waiting for your turn to get on a track. 30c, little wind, sunny and full black leathers.
Here, I look great.
Here I look awesome.
Here, I am gloating of my first knee down.
Here I show you melted rubber of my rear Q3.
And this is the final result. Shattered right collarbone. 16 metal stitches, one metal plate and a few loose screws.
Looks worse than it feels.

One badass story behind one badass scar. I can hear the panties dropping from here

Bones heal. Pain is temporary. Chicks dig scars.

I broke my right collar bone in 4 places after falling off my bike last week, i didn't get a plate though, its healing nicely, i think
spaldiac
metal stitches are staples...
steveo80
And the bike?? As a fellow Honda rider hopefully not a total loss?
Rosfmmmhzdrozzley
Metal stitches, aka STAPLES. lol
LoquaciousLizard
Was this by any chance a company "team building" exercise?

collarbone is a tough one. ALWAYS get up slowly and try to suppress any coughs or sneezes. it will still be hell

Look on the bright side, you are technically a MOTORCYCLING CYBORG

Collarbone sucks but common injury in a high side (been track riding 7 years). Don't let it scare you away, it's always a learning sport.

Whenever you think about how much the injury sucks, try to imagine what it would be like with no leathers,&the OR scrubbing gravel for an hr
StevenAlequin
I trust this goes without saying, hopefully this never happens again. Try to be more careful, and get well soon.
CorneliusBreadington
I feel your pain. I straightened out a curve and ended up curving my arm.

Post the x-rays if you can
SybilNoir
But you looked awesome doing it.

That rear tire but spells gaaaaaas! Pain is temporary, glory is forever. Plus closed track. Makes a fat thumbs up.

Is the bike okay?
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
You need to review "gruesome". Kind of missed the target on that one.
theorsonwells
Do you regret it? looks like you had lots of fun, hopefully it doesn't impact your daily too negatively, and you can get back in the saddle!
afpak
No, it actually hurts worse than it looks. Broken collar bones fucking suck

I am jusst about through my first set of Q3s on my cbr. I'm getting another set. Hopefully it wasn't the tire failing you that caused this.
DaneBrass
If you feel it sliding out, upgrade - easy for ego to overcome grip as you get faster (almost two highsides on the Q before I upgraded).
7thor8thcaw
I've never tracked the Q. Backroad stuff is all I've done on this tire and they have been plenty good for the street. Good advice though!
MightyTightyWhities
But how's the bike...
Rognin
Prolly totaled. Spill was at 120kph
ABlastFromYourPast
His parents took it to a farm.
tekime
Heal up! Details of the wreck?
Dogmoo
Git gud
Rognin
I was taking a level 2 track course. So I was making good strides in lap time. Then shit happened, which it inevitably does to everyone.
Dogmoo
;-) just trolling man. It happens, means you're pushing yourself
whatbuttondoipush
Wait til the drugs and adrenaline run out
pistonpch
High-side?
jungerfrosch
So....What happened?
Rognin
Highside in a corner at 120kph

I'm lucky Iowsided bad luck man how's the bike?
Rognin
Totaled. But I can buy the scrapped bike and use it as a track bike.
count399
Damn sorry to hear that hope it heals up soon though
poorwhitetrash
Be careful with the pain pills! This is how addiction starts...
supaslickboness
Good lookin out!
Rognin
I tried stopping on the second day. Didn't work out. I recently quit smoking and drinking, so I know how had it is to break an addiction.
superatheist
Does medicinal marijuana work in this situation? I'm not a smoker but I'd be willing to give it a crack in this instance
discollama
There's some kinds that work for pain, it's easy to build a tolerance to it though. It can get your mind off of it if that works for you.

I used narcotics regularly for my c-section for the first week, and every other day the week after. No problems. Wasn't allowed Advil :(

Is there a study behind this statistic? Perhaps the type of issues they're prescribed for? Because they're 100% legit for c-sections.
GdSvThQn
Cycling ibuprofen and Tylenol works for a lot of pain
StrangePoster
Tylenol puts less strain on your kidneys if you worry at all about those
actualseal
Dat liver load tho
WhoHasTwoThumbsAndDoesntGiveACrap
Completely agree. People scoff at them because they're over the counter, but they're really fantastic meds.
HalfPintKatie
What about Aleve?
carlotaysupelota
Just take them with food to prevent heartburn.
