December 8th of 2010 I wrecked at 48mph in a descent, and was found unconscious by a passing motorist. When I came to I got up, and tried to get back on the bike. They stopped me from riding, and took me to the marina where I live. Long story short, C-1, C-2, and C-3 were fractured(12 weeks off the bike) but now I'm good as new, and never experienced any neck pain.

February 26th of 2014 I was hit by a truck and had much more serious injuries. I broke all ribs on the right side, Clavicle, Scapula, and Fibula. Tore my large intestine, and punctured my lung. After nearly 6 weeks and several surgeries, they let me go home. 2 weeks later(and almost 40 pounds lighter) I was riding pain-free again.
