fuck it hurts. :eek:
I just fell on the side of my handle bars , I was outside my house just riding around and I was practising catwalks and pedal-ups because I've got no brakes.
well ... yeah I stacked and fell on the side of my handle bars. I can't say I recommend it. Im pretty lucky the handle bars didn't go straight through aswell, because I dont have any caps on the end (definatly my next purchase) :nuts:
I'v got ice on it right now and its got a really sweet looking round bruise on it. Ill post pics later :riaa:

Yeah, no brakes, thats not the reason I fell though. I fell because I'm a fucking idiot -,-
Im brakeless because well. My front brakes never really worked when i got my bike (about 5 weeks ago) and they need to be bled. they work slightly but not enough to do anything. And i recently broke the crossover hosing on my rear hs33's :( so i replaced that. And so all I'm really waiting on is webcyclery to hurry up and post me my damn bleeding kit!

I did that once, hit me in the groin. Missed the junk by millimeters but hit my pubic bone and and tore my pants. Fucking hurt like a bastard.

my mate copped a hanger to the stomach....didnt break any skin, just left a red mark...just over 24 hours later he was in pain and pissing blood.
his spleen was in 3 seperate pieces.
he now has a nice scar going upwards about 20cm from his bellybutton.
yikes!

About 2 weeks ago, I hit the inside part of my knee with my handlebar end doing a failed pedalup. I have handlebar caps, and I also had knee/shin guards on...I still almost puked it hurt so much.

A Friend of mine had his front end wash out and had the bar land on his calf, took out a 1/2" circle of meat. :eek3: :barf: that was a lot of blood.

One of my hombres took it on his 20" and ended up with the word "PROFILE" scarred on his stomach for months, it was pretty rad, we were riding with the crew for Road Fools 8. Didn't get to meet the horse though (if you've seen the vid you know what I'm talking about).

sorry dude!
two weeks ago whilst cleaning and adjusting my drivetrain, my left index finger got caught between the chain and my spinning front freewheel. obviously i already had the tension sorted before i started to leap around the apartment like a crazed monkey. good job the vicar wasn't over for his cup of tea at the time.

No. I haven't taken a picture of it. It's basically U-shaped. It looks like someone bit me. Imagine the stories I can tell.;)
There's still a dime sized scab at the apex of the U.

It actually went through 3 layers of clothing before boring into my leg 9 inches. It blew through my tough nylon riding pants, my 661 body armor mesh, and my lycra chamois riding shorts.

I hit my bars end so hard in my gut that I nearly threw up.
I also put my bar end hard enough into my thigh to leave a permenant redend scar.
Both times, simple falls that I was trying to step away from, you know the kind, you are already thinking about the next move but you keep falling.

It amazing how many people don't run bar plugs. It almost seems like people are too manly to run bar plugs and believe that bar plugs are for the gutless. Either that are they tell me I am paranoid :dunno:
