Scars
 

i tried this some time ago, and didnt get many replies.........*shrugs shoulders*........second time's a charm :D


lets see some memories here, lol. post up some pics/stories about your battle wounds. not broken bones (unless the scar/broken bone went "hand in hand").

i got mine while stunting my '05 YFZ450 quad back in '05. i was doing a seat stander, and went to jump to a sitdown wheelie (in 2nd or 3rd gear...on asphalt) and for some damn reason i went to the left of the seat. now i stunted that quad like no ones buisiness and had a wide variety of things i could do on it. i did that stunt all the time but for some damn reason i went to the left of the seat. so as i slid down onto/past the footpegs i remember saying to myself really loud *SHIIIIT*. My initial reaction was to hold onto the bars....that was my mistake. as i slid down and held the bars, it turned the wheels. so as the front touched the ground, wheels turned......the quad immideatly flipped over. i dont remember anything at that point. i remember getting up off the ground, knowing my hand hurt (not really hurt, but a burning feeling) but thought nothing of it. i looked to my right and saw my quad knotted up, and heard a buddy to my left say "holy ****, you alright?". at that point i noticed blood squirting up in my line of vision.....looked down and saw this (pic below). i swear it was the wiederst thing......i never really HURT. it burned quite a bit...but there wasnt any tremendous pain. i was shocked since i was looking at my tendons!!!! i ended up tearing through the muscle. they put ....... idk how many stitches in my muscle, and over 20 on the outside. now im left w/ a nice scar on my left arm.

oh, and it was my rear grab bar on my quad that did the damage. i 12'd it all the time and the bar was filed into a damn razor......literaly.

IF YOU DONT LIKE BLOOD.............DONT SCROLL DOWN!

Well, I have mine on my chest.

now I have thisn nice Y shaped scar in my chest.
https://cbrforum.com/m_327354/tm.htm
Slipped on sand taking the on ramp to the freeway. Wasn't really paying atention, and it almost cost me my life. Hit the median barrier before I even hit the floor, and stopped dead cold on it. It had been crashed before so it was broken and not repaired so the broken part went into my chest. My shift mesh jacket stoped it from running me all the way throgh. Ended with 5 broken ribs, Colapsed lung, Pelvic ematoma, Bruised face, cut hand, cut nee, slight tear on my ACL.

Needless to say, gear rocks!! and saves lifes.

RE: Scars
 

Nice.... I don't have any scars.

RE: Scars
 

Did this on a BMX bike jumping a dirtbike jump. Busted my spleen completely in half and literally bled eternally for 8hours. Radiologist thought my spleen was just perfurated. When the next radiologist came in he saw it was busted in half then they rushed me into surgery and remoed my spleen. I spent 6days in the Hospital. 3days in the ICU completely doped up on Morphine and Demoral. And 3 more days in a regular room on demoral. I was told I was pretty close to death a few times. 1 from nearly bleeding to death. The other from them having trouble stabilizing my heart in Post-op. And then from a bad bad fever while in the ICU.

I had to take Loritabs for 2months straight before I could get off of them. I also lost 30lbs in 6days from being on nothing but IV nutrition for that time.

RE: Scars
 

Mmm, juicy. Don't have any pics, but have a couple of scars on my arm & knee from a stack 40 years ago come December & I still dig bitumen out of em (especially the knee)

RE: Scars
 

i've been lucky myself with no scars man...no wait..you guys are ****ing lucky to be alive...broken bones dislocations nerve damage lol...nothing major.

RE: Scars
 

Well, I've posted about my cracked up arms before, so here's the short version. Messed around on my F3 on a counrty backroad, lowsided into a ditch, held on the wholetime and when the bike stopped on a rock I went over the front and twisted/broke both my arms and disslocated both wrists.

The present scar looks a lot like Jaynd's...except they're straight and has marks from 18 staples

RE: Scars
 

Going 55mph at night around a blind corner on a secluded back road and a giant black cat jumps out, I highside over the front end and land right on my knee. When they cleaned it up, you could see the kneecap and all...

RE: Scars
 

In high school i took a huge jump on my dirtbike, came down wrong, the force of hitting the ground double compound fractured my right Femur. It was hanging out of my leg. All the scars aren't visable anymore because of leg hair, but i still have one you can see on my butt cheek where they put the metal rod in through. I'll save you all from seeing my butt though.

RE: Scars
 

no pics, and no scars from bikes(knockin on wood) but you might find this interesting....
i have the letter I in scars on my chin! its hard to get a vowel i know, the vertical line came from skateboarding back in the eighties. i was on a halfpipe doin if i remember right just a normal backside method and kicked out from it too far and missed the transition and fell oh 14feet or so straight to the flat and hit my chin OUCH the horizontial lines came from...top one from football a guy came up to tackle me and put the top of his helmet right on my chinstrap when he hit me....i finished the game!! just bloody but dammit ya cant be a ..ssy lol the bottom one came from a concrete porch i tripped and fell and caught the edge on my chin when i was real young.
also have a nice one on top and bottom of my right index finger from having a car door shut completley on it !!!

RE: Scars
 

I have a big scar on my stomach from surgery when I was an infant, but that doesn't really count. I've only mamed myself once due to my own fault, diving in a pool. Only six staples, but they was in my skull. My neck hurt more than anything.

Right after it happened:

And after the shot in the wound, scrubbing, and staples:

RE: Scars
 

I have a scar on my chin, but it is not from riding. I was playing one New Years Eve, and I got ****ty drunk. At the end of the night, I was on my knees putting my effects pedals and cords away in my gig bag, when I passed out and fell flat on my face off the stage (I was told later...I never remembered what happened). I woke up a few seconds later, but had busted my chin wide open and a flap of skin was hanging off my chin. I had to get 11 or 12 stitches. Some New Years...[&:]

RE: Scars
 

...wow.
i once remember when i cut my right hand the pinky with a knife somehow..not even sure how it happened but it cut to the outter bone and a bit in...cut the tendant to the pinky..not much use to the pinky...it doesnt bend the secound part of the knukle anyways..
the funny thing was what my mom said when i told her about it...
"Its nothing dont even worry about it..."
"Its not that bad.."
i then asked her if she could get me a finger brace..
she got me one..
made of cloth..it didnt hold it in place and so never healed correctly. no stiches..either.

lol also have another one that im nto srue how i got it but i did..
its rght above my eye...got close to loosing it lol. riding a bike and somehow i fliped and still nto srue how icut it...kinda backed out for about 10 secs all i remember is coming to and friends were around me..bleeding all over the place.

RE: Scars
 

Its kinda funny how we all do dumb things, referring to being injured and we arnt doing anything dangerous.
It kinda makes me wonder what Evel Kanivel felt..

RE: Scars
 

I have scar right above my eye below my eye brow from from getting hit in the head from a brand new ceiling fan. Also have one on my left arm from baseball from melt ceats when i was catcher.

I am reminded every morning how invisible we (motorcyclist) are - and let me tell you, nothing will make a person feel older than waking up to get thier teeth out of a cup of water.

A car pulled out in front of me and I went flying up and came down on my face. I would hate to see what would have happened if I wasn't wearing a full-faced helmet.

RE: Scars
 

like the picture of the kneww thats all torn up mine was like that but worse. all the skin was gone from top to bottom of knee and wider. i will get pic of scar later. it had a scab for 2 months.

RE: Scars
 

dont have any big scars but lots of little ones. as far as riding goes just some road rash on my knee. also have had eight staples on the back of my head, stitches twice on my forehead(once from jumping on the bed and hitting the window sill and once from being hit with a rock), had one of my front teeth knocked out do to auto accident and because of it ive had stitches twice in my gums, stitches on my chin, lol i almost ripped my little toe off once too. i had a painful childhood.

But I walked away. Besides the shattered arm from impact with the deer, I wasn't even sore the next morning. Not even a bruise..gear saved my ass.

RE: Scars
 

Non-emotional scars: Chin, elbows, chest, busted teeth, and knees from bicycle (BMX) wrecks. Fingers from working on boats. Face, from cheek to ear due to spinning around in a chair and then being flung off, parallel to a wall which had a nail sticking out. Nail ripped through my cheek! Not so visible now, but I still get a few jokes about looking like some German fencer. Small one on neck from cervical lamectomy resulting from broken neck. Broken just about every bone, too. My poor Mother was always taking me to Emergency rooms. Pace, Gris.

RE: Scars
 

What has everyone learned from all these scars?

RE: Scars
 

That I'm now even more allergic to pain than I was a few minutes ago!

RE: Scars

RE: Scars
 

No bike riding scars. But when I was 4 years old I was hugging my aunt's pitbull door bell rang it got the twitch and decided to take it out on the right side of my face. inch scar on right check and scar just aobe and below my right eye. My mommy" haha yes i said mommy" said my right check was just hanging down the side of my jaw. come to think of it wish she took pictures..

RE: Scars
 

Sorry, no pics, no scanner here at work. Age 11, found a cracked jar in the yard and put both middle fingers in the neck to see if I could pull it apart. Yeah, it worked, 13 stitches in left middle finger! Road rash at age 8 while riding my dad's old Cushman scooter on the street, hit some sand on a curve and went down, scar on right hand. Age 15, loose gravel + bike = 8 stitches in right elbow. Age 21, showing off on a dirt bike, "Hey y'all, watch this!" Went down, lay there winded until I smelled burning and realised it was the pipe cooking my right knee, nice rosy scar. A few more crashes but no scars until '98. T-boned an SUV at 30, c**t made a U-turn as I was passing a line of stationary traffic, 10 feet in front of me! No idea how many stitches; 26 trips to hospital, 2 bone grafts, steel plates and pins, left arm looks like a road map with a few divots taken out of the old flesh! In '01 a British postman exited a one way street in front of me, Ilocked up, stopped, overbalanced and put out my left hand to save the bike (like I was really gonna hold up a Z1000 one handed!). I heard the snap as the wrist went. This was the same one that had cost me 2 and half years off work after the T-boned SUV in '98. Back to hospital for another bone graft and more steel plates and pins. I swear, I can't pass a metal detector now! The only upside to the last two was that it happened in Britain, God bless the National Health Service! Never paid a penny in medical costs! What do you suppose 3 weeks in hospital, 3 bone grafts, 2 ambulance trips, meds and the services of FIVE consultant surgeons and an anesthesiologist, physiotherapy and hydrotherapywould have cost here?

RE: Scars
 

put some Vitamin E gel on those scars. helps them heal really well!
