Did anyone feel the earth tremor at 7am?

No?

It was me hitting the deck in Ealing. Bright times!

Plans of riding the Cuntster to destruction may be scuppered if the rider destructs first! :S

Note to self: Riding on wonky wheels with fucked tyres is not conducive to remaining upright.

Ouch - what happened?

dogsballs · 14th November 2008

who cares!?

big daddy wayne · 14th November 2008

Possibly a bit quick for a sketchy roundabout combined with shitty bald tyres and a wobbly wheel that tends to kick out a bit sometimes. Back-end just zipped away from me and I clattered to the ground. Shoulder's feeling it a bit.. everything else just cut up existing scar tissue :)

Yeah, not used to crashing in Lundun without:
1) using my head as the impact point
2) a motor vehicle being the cause

The roads are still a bit greasy. I'm sort of glad that an enforced month of severly reduced riding time has coincided with the most treacherous conditions. Looking forward to the late Nov/early Dec sweetspot :)

Yeah, this is particularly slippery and I'm usually going quite slow through there. I still wasn't going fast, ie. no brakes were involved, but that rear just didn't want to hold on.

Tell me that now.. muppet :P

I think it's coz I washed my hair. The resulting loss of grease from above caused an imbalance in the rotation of the earth and my position was shifted for the worse.

fred · 14th November 2008

I thought the earth rotated around you? :p

BringMeMyFix · 14th November 2008

I have to attend UCL's corportate safety induction today. I'll let you know what they say about loss of rear wheel traction in Autumnal conditions.

Gravitational change.. since I am the larger of the two objects, the earth was moved into a new position, one I didn't anticipate. :)

Probably: "fix your wheel and change your tyre you silly cunt".

BringMeMyFix · 14th November 2008

Too slow. BMMF FTW

fatboyralph · 14th November 2008

you tight arse! get yourself some new tyres

hippy · 14th November 2008

I can't help it.. I wanna see how far they can go.. it's a disease man :)

I have a whole cupboard full of various brands/models or tyres.. but I wanna get the most use out of these poss.

I might skid through them tonight and bin them for their insubordination.

RPM · 14th November 2008

see, it's not cool to be nonchalant about maintenance, look where it got you: kissing concrete.

hope it won't affect your drinking arm, or the hand that reaches for the wallet. I'm relying on you for next saturday!

31t®um · 14th November 2008

change them now to prevent further damage to the already bad roads, be considerate.

hippy · 14th November 2008

In the words of all those who have fallen before me..

Meh.

I think I hit my head. Time to go to sleep..

although it can't have been a lot different from when your mum dropped you on your head when you were 3.

and 4, and 5 and 6...and 7...

hippy · 14th November 2008

Meh. The helmet was already cracked at London Freewheel.. '07.
I've been after a new one for ages, even tried some on. Fuck it.
I do feel shit but not sure it's due to any head impact. Probably lack of booze.

dogsballs · 14th November 2008

i'll give you 20p so you can call someone that cares!

hippy · 14th November 2008

That's mighty generous of you but you should keep it for your venereal disease treatments.
NHS won't fund it forever.

last time i sleep with your mum!

hippy · 14th November 2008

Before she robbed you, she said you cried yourself to sleep on the bed sobbing about a failed 'extension' operation and how your last lover had ruptured your sphincter beyond repair.
It was a truly heart-breaking tale.

dogsballs · 14th November 2008

you try finding that much flour!

hippy · 14th November 2008

You should try finding some new jokes.

dogsballs · 14th November 2008

sorry my mind is full of useful knowledge.

hippy · 14th November 2008

You should let some of it out for once..

dogsballs · 14th November 2008

RPM · 14th November 2008

dogsballs · 14th November 2008

Pissed as fuck after work xmas party... I'd made it to Ealing but my detour for f&c involved a turn too sharp for the traction I'd been allocated on that patch of tarmac. New gloves are not so new now and I'm down one rear light bracket. I think I'm getting clumsy in my senile years..
