I ride as well. A few years back I rode my GS1150 Adventure from my home near Regina Saskatchewan to the Beaufort Sea at Dead Horse Alaska. My worst crash was on a bicycle however. I got caught up in a crash road racing last May. Dislocated hip and shoulder. Concussion, cracked pelvis and ribs. Busted lamina in my neck and back.
When people ask me what it's like to crash a road bike at speed I tell them it would be like jumping head first out of the back of a truck at 50kmh. Naked.
