No offense, but it doesn’t sound like you’re very good at riding motorcycles.

Racing motocross is a hell of a sport and takes it toll on your body. That said, I had more balls than skill on the bike for sure. Most of that damage is from 2 wrecks 20 years apart. At the age of 20, I had a bad one that landed me in the hospital with broken ribs, collar bone, concussion, separated shoulder, post labrum tear, 2nd degree burns, and collapsed lung.
I went over the handle bars and bike landed on me off of a 75-80ft jump.

Then I had another one at the age of 40 that wasn't a hard fall at all for me. Ended up with 7 broken ribs, collapsed lung, and kidney bleeding. That was the most pain I've ever been in and I still cant wrap my head around how it did that much damage.
Oh yeah, I'v got a bulging disc in my back now from that wreck too. I don't know if the wreck caused it, or aggravated it enough for me to suddenly feel it.

I haven't been on a bike in nearly 2 years now, but I'm itching to ride again. I'll take one of my kids bikes and do some trail riding soon.

I've broken both arms, my foot, patella, multiple fingers

All just childhood stuff and sports

My first hairline arm fracture was from holding the line in red rover.

Right Wrist - around 5, I think…..someone used a metal grate from a portable AC as a welcome mat in the trailer park. Hit it pushing a big metal toy truck. Either that or I went through a car windshield. I have a bunch of long scars on face, wrist, neck that I can’t explain. Don’t think I went to a Dr.

Found my bio mother 20 years later and tried to ask her to confirm the story of all the scars. She says she doesn’t remember.

Index finger - someone pushed a desk full of books on it 1st grade. Pressure popped the end of my finger like a grape. Twisted distal and middle phalanx inward, it’s like that to this day. Didn’t see a Dr.

Knocked 4 upper front baby teeth out and destroyed upper gums, bicycle accident. Didn’t see a dentist.

Parents went to prison (unrelated), so no more random untreated injuries.

Index Metacarpal - fight

Zygromatic bone (face) - another fight. Needed surgery for that one.

T7,8,9,10,11,12 and other assorted soft tissue injuries, basically broke me in half - A tornado blew a large tree down on a car, while I was in it. Very very very lucky to be alive.

None. Considering the stuff I’ve done I should’ve had burns, broken bones and possibly been dead.
