If Carlsberg did SMIDSYs

[400bhp]

It might sound odd but I'm not a seething mass of anger. Just after I hit the deck I thought I was seriously life changingly hurt, so to get away with comparatively minor injuries makes me feel a very lucky Hector.

Doesn't sound odd at all. Glass half full

I know you both mean well and @mjr it's clear you're someone with a strong PoV but can we not do this here please?

Bollo, see if the insurer will let you keep the farked frame, clearly ensuring you get cash for replacement. Carbon can be fixed and even if you don't use it yourself someone else will do you'll get a few quid for it.

With that aggressive riding position I'm disappointed you were only going 20mph. Get a new bike and put a bit more effort in, OK?

Oh, and GWS, natch

Great shame upon my family. In my defence I've done a few rides with @jay clock recently and picked up some bad habits

Because the frame is matt black and awesome, the pictures I posted don't do the damage justice. The frame is well and truly fornicated. The components escaped largely unscathed so there's the fixins for a new bike.

Just remember, you'd had a bit to drink, the sun was in your eyes, and you were rolling a fag, so it wasn't really your fault.

Thanks 400, but the only undamaged tubes are one of the seatstays and the head tube. The top tube and the drive side chain stay are completely sheared and the area around the BB is cracked to buggery. It's not coming back.

If generic driving behaviour had anything to do with it, and assuming you could prove both points, you might have a case.

I presume you can prove both points?

Lucky you had a bit of excess soft tissue to take the sting out of the collision.

It seems like many years ago that you were bonnet surfing and appearing on TV after your last big hit.

Serioulsy though, I’m really glad you avoided a nasty injury, Bollo (it looks like you escaped lightly, all things considered). Shame about the plasticine bike, but Halfords will have a sale on soon.

Mere flesh wounds.

You can test ride it for him then, after he's repaired it.

HI @Origamist. Ironically there's a lot less padding on me these days than you might remember, but no attempt at TV stardom this time.

At least my handlebars stayed on

What about mental anguish? You must have some of that. Or that PTSD malarkey? You're very upset, aren't you?

I still have the legs of a Greek God, but the midriff of Sir Nicholas Soames...

Shame the video has gone, it was one of Gaz's early Youtube Cycle cam hits...

It's true that I have taken to drink.
