Five times, thank you very much.  I now self diagnose, slip on a figure 8 brace and stop by the doctors office just to get a second opinion and make it official. ;)

Three times same place!! Now have large knot on left side. Last time had to show West Virginia nurse(male) how to put on the "eight" brace.

A couple of seasons ago I was scouring the Blackhawk paddock looking for a part. As I spoke with dozens of racers I'd never met before, I noticed the tell-tale lump of a broken collar bone (or bones) poking up through the T-shirts of a bunch of guys. Seems like it was about 50/50 broken vs. not broken.

For the record, I'm in the 50% that have broken one.

I wear a neck collar.  I low sided once since I got it, although I landed on my face (messed up face shield proved it...) my neck & collar bones were fine.  Arm & shoulder were self-diagnosed as sprained.  

I haven't broken them yet but I'm still pretty new...

Quotedwilson- I wear a neck collar.


A neck collar wouldn't have done squat to prevent my two breaks.

I was in that 50 % with the tell tailed bump! I broke mine 2 seasons ago in the first practice sesson at Summit Point T-1. Got back up, picked up the Buell, got back on, finished my practice, drove mysellf to the hospital, got my, x-rays, brace, sling, drugs, drove back to the track, hung out with my buds, drove back to Rockford alone. What a memorable weekend that was.  :o ;D

None so far for me.  Not surprising to hear that you broke yours though, Eddie.  You have those brittle effemate little bones... ;D
The frame was snapped, the #3 rod was dangling from a hole in the cases, and what was left had been consumed by fire.  I said, "Hey, we've got all night!"
