Some battles you donāt have to fight alone, brother.
š ļø Pain sucks. Hereās how you flip it the birdā¦
PLUS: Some battles you donāt have to fight alone, brother.


š“āā ļø Wrecked, bruised, broken... so what? šļø
š¦ When the road throws you headfirst into the dirt
Let me tell you about the first time the road nearly retired me.
Couple years back, middle of nowhere Arizona, I laid my bike down hard dodging some idiot texting behind the wheel. Cracked ribs. Mangled shoulder. My pride, well... that took the biggest damn beating of all.
Docs patched me up, but they also threw a fat stack of bills at me and a pat on the back like, āGood luck, old man.ā
Recovery wasnāt just painful ā it was a second full-time job. And for bikers like us, sitting still aināt living. Itās hell with fluorescent lighting.
If Iād known there were ways to get help, heal faster, and maybe even get paid for it, you better believe I would've signed up faster than a jackrabbit on moonshine. š„

š ļø Why you shouldnāt ride injured (unless you hate yourself)
Riding hurt is like bringing a butter knife to a bar fight.
You THINK youāre good to go⦠until you hit that first sharp turn, and your busted parts remind you theyāre still pissed.
Hereās the hard truth, brother:
Slow reflexes = slow death. Your body needs to react, not debate.
Pain fogs your mind. Miss one oil patch, one distracted SUV driver, one sneaky pothole? Game over.
Injuries compound. Ride hurt, and youāre signing up for injuries on top of injuries. Ask me about the time I tore my shoulder twice 'cause I "felt fine" after a whiskey-fueled night. š
You aināt proving you're tough by riding wounded.
You're just proving you didnāt learn the first lesson the road tried to teach you.

š¤ How clinical trials can give you the edge (and a fat wallet)
Most riders I know would rather duct-tape a broken arm than deal with doctors. I get it. But this aināt about sitting in waiting rooms reading year-old copies of "Better Homes & Gardens."
RxTra Clinical Trials is like having a damn pit crew for your body:
They find trials near you ā no guessing, no internet rabbit holes.
You might get free treatments that cost serious dough otherwise.
Hell, they even pay you in a lotta cases. (Up to $3,000 ain't chicken feed, brother.)
You can be healthy OR hurting ā they got options for everyone.
Some trials are even virtual, so you aināt gotta leave your shop.
Think of it like giving science the middle finger and saying, "If you're gonna use me as a lab rat, you better pay up." š
š Check if thereās a trial near you
(and get your ass back on the road faster ā and smarter)

š§ Pro tip (wrench emoji edition)
šļø Treat recovery like tuning your bike.
You donāt ride out with a busted clutch or half-flat tires, do you?
Donāt ride with a busted body, either. If you do, you're just a ghost rider waiting to happen.

š Now itās your move
If youāve been dragging ass, nursing old injuries, or you just wanna be part of something bigger (and get paid doing it), do yourself a favor:
Hit up RxTra Clinical Trials and see if thereās something waiting for you.
No BS, no spammy crap ā just real help for real riders who aināt ready to hang up the helmet yet. š“āā ļø

šļø Keep your scars, earn your stripes
Road rash, busted bones, battle scars ā theyāre not the end of your story, brother. Theyāre just the price of admission for living wide open.
Heal smart, ride harder, and keep writing your legend, one mile at a time.
Ride Smart, Ride Strong,
Blake "Iron Sage" Rivers
P.S. Wrecks donāt define you.
The real badassery is getting back up, fixing whatās broken, and riding even harder than before. š¤
