I think that's only half the battle. I think you need to do a reasonable amount of impact based exercise (running etc.) which causes micro fractures which heal and keep bones strong. Not saying you have brittle bone disease, just throwing in my vague knowledge about it.

As for NOT crashing. 4+ years riding without an accident or drop so far, touch wood, cuddle an angel, bake Fate a cake, wink at Jesus etc.

You should become a bone donor (make any jokes you like)

They should do a test by tossing this guy

and this guy

from a KTM Superduke at around 30mph and see who fairs the best. I know who I'd put my money on.

So impact stuff is good for the bones now? But bad for the joints?

I think so. Same as red meat is good for iron levels and various other things but gives you bowel cancer.

You can't win.

Well I think I'm in the best position not to crash at the moment - one foot in a cast, broken bone in the other so I can't ride at all so 0% chance of crashing.

But after the lunch I had today I have probably put on about 2 stone.
