Crashed!! Now I'm laid up 1 Year, 8 Months ago  
Was out riding four wheelers w/ my fire dept shift and tried to climb a hill that was too steep and the atv flipped over and pile drived me. Broken pelvis(plate n few screws to fix),dislocated hip and a fractured collar bone.Cant put any pressure on my left leg for 3 months.Doc said will have full recovery and have no problem being a fireman again.Cant wait 2 get back to work. missing the best riding season here in northwest Iowa but guess I am just happt to still b here.The outcome could have been worse.Was wondering if anyone here has had similar injury and how was your recovery and outcome.

I've had some pretty bad four wheeler wrecks myself, the one before my last one was the worst, took me about a year and a half before I got back on one, gota respect those allot, probably more than a motorcycle, because usually on a street bike you have to watch out for the other idiots, on a four wheeler, your the idiot. By the way, you'll have to go to pyshical therapy, hope you get full recovery ok.
