Ok Ok we all have to sit around a table someday swapping "who is more macho" stories... but both of yours are pretty funny...
Although but best friend has us all beat... she has had her hip fractured into a million pieces (okay severl hundred - it was an eggshell fracture)flying off her bike and slamming into a crevice (the crevice, thankfully saved her from falling off a cliff), she has had her shoulder reconstructed after totally tearing it out on a fall, half of her face fractured badly needing plastic surgery, broken wrist, collarbone... the list goes on. She can barely walk anymore but still rides... yes she is a fool like all of us!

Once again I have found some great information. All I need now is a shrink that can explain why at 55 years old and with two 20 year old hip replacements I'm going to start riding off road
