[QUOTE="MR.WR, post: 128373, member: 17914"] Last Nov. I broke my collar bone at a Dist.36 enduro put on my the Valley Climbers MC club. I was there by myself. Lucky for me I had just left a check and was only about 2 miles back. A rider that was a couple of minutes behind me stopped to check me out. He removed my bike from the trail and rode back to the check to get a check worker to help get me out of there and to the aid station. Once the check worker arrived he proped my bike against a tree and asked me what happended and if I could ride out on the back of his 00 Husky 410TE? I was ready to get out of there and get a sling on my shoulder. So, I jumped on the back of his bike and rode out of the woods, about 7-10 miles :eek: I new that my bike would be ok, and that it would catch up with me later. As we were headed back towards the staging area a very nice guy and his son stopped us and asked if we needed some help??? We otld them that my bike need to be rode out of the woods. They were not entered in the enduro, they were there to watch a friend race. We told them where the bike was and they said, no problem, they will get it back to my truck for me. After the long trip out of the woods I arrived at the staging area riding double on the Husky. The medic checked me out and said that I needed to get to a hospital....duh!!!!!!!!!!! It was about 30 minutes later my bike showed up. Several club members loaded my bike for me and pack up my riding gear. The medic's said that I could not drive??? I told them that I had to, and that I was there by myself. Lucky for me, I drove my 97 Ford F-250 w/ auto tranny:) My shoulder was supported by the sling, and I threw in a pinch of Copenhagen :D and headed back to Sacramento. I called my girlfriend and my parents to inform them as to what happend. I told them that I would be home in about 2 hours, and for someone to meet me at my house to take my to the hospital. I arrived home around 6:00pm. My parents and girlfriend took me to the hospital to get checked out. I ended up getting home around 2am Monday morning from the hospital. Lucky for me I was still in the Marine Corps and was placed on 2 weeks medical leave. So I sat at home for 2 weeks before returning to work. To make maters worse, I am single and live alone. It was not easy tending to daily tasks, like showers and things of that nature. The club that put on the race was VERY helpfull in getting me back to my truck, collecting all my gear, loading my bike and seeing that medical attention was given. I have since went riding by myself, and have meet riding friends at the staging area. I think about it, but I don't let it bother me...... I'm sure you will not have any problems with the M/C clubs in your area... Rick [/QUOTE]
