Broke my left collar bone in highschool playing football...took about 4-5 weeks to heal. Broke my right collar bone, dislocated my right shoulder, and had an AC seperation on the right shoulder about 6 years ago on a MX track. Took about 9 weeks to heal. Didn't have either side pinned.

But I do have plenty of metal holding my pelvis together! I could give ****** and his metal detectors fits!

The lump on my shoulder from where I broke mine has gone down with time. At first I had this insane bump. Now it's almost not noticable- this is ~5yrs later. My shoulder does droop a little bit though.

I just had surgery on mine and had it plated. I'm about 7 weeks after surgery and the doc told me earlier this week he didn't want me riding for 6 more months.
