Makes my recent couple of offs look a bit silly - even if my left hand hasn't regained full strength after 3 months and using the clutch reminds me each time.
Good to see that you have the priorities straight though - photos! (thumbs)
GWS and remember, chicks dig scars B)
Go big or go home
Or in my case go big go a+e :laugh:

Count yourself very lucky because where that lever got you an artery injury there would be very hard to block off.
Chicksands yes matey
They should ban mountain bikes from there and let off road motorbikes have it :whistle:

Every time I go past the track I think they should have pay & play days for bikes there but the noise would probably upset the military too much :pinch:
Anyway, are they letting you go outside for a smoke or are they still being moody about even smoking in the grounds at Bedford hospital? If I was at home I'd have popped up to see you and wave rolling tobacco at you

Ouch. Do a bit of mountain biking myself, but not too extreme stuff
Speedy recovery
Edit hope not too much damage to the bike

At least it missed your nuts. (thumbs)
Is that you todger laying there all bandaged up? Must be hung like a donkey. :laugh:
No nooky for you for a while then. :laugh:
Tell the missus, OK but be gentle with me. :laugh:
With your wrist damaged as well, you really are screwed. :whistle:
Hope you get well soon.
Ps,
I'm amazed at how many riders get injured on mountain bikes. Makes enduro and moto cross look like the safer option. I met on of Italy's top international enduro riders at the Bokki about four years ago, he was on crutch's, yep mountain bike crash. I'll be sticking will motorbikes, these push bikes are way to dangerous.
Hiya mate
Yep my misses said the same thing about the trip :laugh:
Luckily the manhood is un touched and will be for a while :laugh:
Yep off road motorcycling is Deffo the safer option but not as much fun

when I saw the first video of downhill riders on youtube, that's what I though actually is dangerous compared to motocross and enduro riding I was doing at the time.
you do need to be crazy to go down the hill at those speeds with barely any handling, brakes etc. :unsure:
