Man i would looooooooooove to race bikes like that!!!

Has your husband wrecked that bad before??
Actually, this has been one of his better wrecks injury wise. The worst was Jan 2000. It was before we lived together. He wrecked and then drove himself home. His roomates woke up in the middle of the night and he was having convulsions. His internal injuries were so bad that they had to put his organs in mesh nets to keep them together and remove his spleen. He spent some time in the hospital and lost a ton of weight. He looked like a skeleton when he got out. He sold everything he had and said he'd never touch a bike again. By April of 2000, he had a new bike and had to go out and buy all new gear.

Last year, he was turning a corner in an intersection near our house and somehow wrecked. (Probably showing off.) He slid across the busy intersection Superman style and luckily none of the cars hit him. He had hurt pride and some road rash but that was it.

Earlier this season, he got into a really bad one. He was thrown in the air tumbled several hundreds of feet. He was able to walk away from it because it was really muddy that day and he'd landed off of the asphault.

He's gotten into a few other small ones too.

I WISH he'd take up fishing or something. This gets sooo expensive and old! The day after this accident he started ordering replacement parts for his bike.
