If not then you learned your lesson :)

In the end - gravity works :mrgreen:


I dont think I ever cornered properly after falling :?
Everytime i turn into a corner, my mind just convinces me i'm gonna fail last time :cry:
So right now, im just sitting here waiting for my new tyres (GP4000s), It probably wouldnt do much but it does boost confidence.

Beautiful! The young ladies should be all over you now!

It'll eventually clear up, but you'll still see it. I've got a good one on my right knee as well from over a year ago.


Even if I have a lisp? :P

Foo


Not me Foo, just a G image search.

I tried for years to get one the honourable way without luck so in the end, I went to see a mate who does ink tatts and got me avatar on the right calf. He did a great job. I also discovered that calf tatts hurt more than any other part of the body I've had done. :o

Join the club mate.
I did the same, cornered too fast on my way to school.
Left knee right elbow too!

Luckily the shop owner of the shop ride I go with saturday morning was passing and made sure I'd be alright to get back to school and hadn't broken anything. Rolled slowly to school but it was too much for the nurse to fix. Even luckier is the fact my school is across the road from the kids hospital so I hobbled over to get stitched up, xrayed and bandaged. Count yourself lucky :P

I don't remember ever falling off a bike, just that one time a year ago when I was offroad on loose pebbles and I decided it would be smart to tackle the corner standing up, pushing with all my strength. lol rear end slid out 90 degrees and i fell on my side.

Vitamin E is best unless it was your face, I wouldn't worry to much mate,because they will fade over time. :)
