Thought I'd have a spin on this for the 1st time on Sunday so used it to go to see me lil' bruv. It felt a bit weird after 25 years and the last few years on an MTB and was fooking knackered an all. Anyways, had a couple of tinnies when I got there (as you do...  :D). Arranged an inpromptu  bbq so I needed to zip home and sort out a few bits out (food, more beer....  :daumenhoch:).

Got within 100m of home and thought "... I know, I'll do a bunny hop (the one where you lift front wheel followed by rear wheel, rather than both wheels together). Can't do any harm...". Well what a TW*T I turned out to be. The front end of the bike came up rather quickly, proceeded by the back end coming flying up and away from me (bike was a lot lighter than I remember 25 years ago).  I carried on forwards and went hurtling into the ground and the bike came tumbling down on top of me  :(

Hands are cut to Fook with one of me fingers fractured (As far as I can tell. I couldn't be bothered with A&E over something like that). I've banged up me left knee and shoulder as well  :-[

To add insult to injury I've trashed my original Oakley F1 grips and a couple of other bits  :'(

Still, hasn't put me off. Have gone and bought some proper protective equipment since skin isn't up to the job. I don't "bounce" as well as I used  ::)

Still. Has it's perks. Gotta out of all sorts of chores for the next few weeks...  :daumenhoch:

The moral of the story is. No. You can't pick up weher you left off 25+ years ago  :uglystupid2:

You're all officially licensed to laff ur b*ll*x off or take the p*ss out of me for one day, starting from now. After that I get violent ... Well, once I'm mended that is!  ;D

Ne1 got any Red with White Oakley F1 Grips?  :-\
