Mornin’ Great weekend everybody ?
MRI & X-Ray combo provided good hard evidence at the specialists appointment that my shoulder injury is mostly a result of previous injuries combined with more recent inflammation and slight fraying of a ligament.
In my 40’s I attempted to ride the “over 40 class” in local motocross for a couple years on a very nicely modified YZ250.
Unfortunately either the bike or worse yet I, was broken during half of the experience.
Washougal WA has a very reputable out door track (google a video) where I had my best experiences , as well as my last experience..
When I landed upside down after leaving the track, dislocating my throttle wrist on the way out, I landed on my left shoulder and helmet.
Bike landed right on its head.
My collar bone fractured (crushed) out on the end in two places.
X-Rays show it is not perfectly aligned and causing slight trouble. A tear at that time healed okay though. A more recent “fraying” nearby on a different ligament is causing most of the pain perhaps. Anyway, No surgery scheduled. I gotta “man up” and rehab it all to a strong status again.
I’m taking this as real good news.
Also, I have extremely fun memories of riding that YZ on tracks so regrets?
Na, I got lucky it wasn’t my neck that broke.
