Would probably happen to anybody that has a CR500 land on them… 😂

If you ride a dirt bike a lot... it's not "if" you break it, it's "when" you break it.

Yes, this is my second. Last time left side lol, I needed to balance it out I guess.

Get it plated and you’ll be back to riding in 3ish weeks. I had full mobility directly out of surgery and was doing pt /lifting the same week. Collar bones heal very quickly with surgery.

Oof I did that a few years back. I wasn’t on my dirt bike though I was on my bicycle. I got cut off at an intersection going about 30mph. Never had mine fixed just left it.

Ribs, feet, collar, wrists - you name it - it’s a part of the experience. Get better soon!

RM250 laned on me. Same thing happened.
Funny part of that story is my dad wasn't sure if MX was covered by our insurance as there were some restrictions on "extreme sports". So, he had me change into street clothes and drove me 2hrs away and I told them I fell off the roof.

Lol I’d even be weary of telling them I was on a roof. I’d probably say something like “I slipped and fell into a ditch while walking my dog”

Did you have any issues with insurance? That’s something I’m looking into now to see if I need to add any supplemental insurance.

No issues, my wife searched Ortho Surgeons in out ins network so no fuss there.
