!@#$%$@!!

Not a very good 24hr period for the Dutch. First the Flying one is brought down and then PSV get knocked over. The old c%^t wasn't Italian by chance ? :eek:

Mend well Flying one

BTW, the cops visited again last night and apparently 2 witnesses came
forward stating the old c#@t ran a red light just prior to hitting
me!@#$#@!!!!! So it would appear his [censored]-is-grass, and just to make it
a bit better one of the cops is a parent at my girl's school. Everyone
at the school were great too. real sense of community. everyone
offering to help, look after kids, 2 parents picked up my bike and
brought it home, lots of phonecalls last night to make sure i was ok.
IM BASICALLY VERY ANGRY AT THE WORLD, but these people (and yoose lot)
have been great. cheers.
please dont let my incident make you pause about riding.
you all owe me an extra 10km over the next few weeks 😄 😄 😄

Jeez, I only just saw this today - it just makes me shake my head and think Oh No, Not Again... the good news is that you're (sort of) ok. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I will devote my next 10 k's to your unswerving nerve and resilience. Pity
the old [censored] driving the car was also unswerving. Chin up Dutch. Get
well soon.

Good to see you still have a sense of homour despite the belting you
got, hope you heal ok without any lingering problems. You've certainly
been in the wars recently with this and the hit you got when you were
camping.

jh

FD - glad you're still breathing dude!!

So exactly how long did you have the new helmet for before it got
trashed in anotheraccident?? This MUST be a record... Will Limar
believe you when you claim your second half-price helmet in a week??

Seriously mate - very pleased you got out of this one... Hope that bike
is back under your @rse again soon...

Sorry to hear of your accident, Dutch. Having had a fall onto a gravel road
recently (not caused by a driver), with massive abrasions, one of which got
infected, I can honestly say look after your injuries and don't
underestimate them.

Hope you're better soon - on ya bike in a couple of days?

actually, i was wearing my 'old' one that my daughter now wears (big hair needs a big helmet). it came out fine, apart from a few scratches and lot of car-coloured-paint on it. I think however the old @#$% can pay for the Limar105 replacement instead. I hadnt got around to sending it off to Syd for exchange yet and would have had to fork out $115 to do so, so Mr Conformadore can pay it instead

On the bike front, the initial inspections by non-cycliists was WAY off the mark! :eek:

The bars are totally rooted, bent in on the rightside.
Both ergo's look cactus too. levers fractured and covers shredded.
Headset is very loose. Im expecting there to be a big ding/indent in the race/s if opened up.
There's something dodgy with the fork too. Its a Kinesis carbon w/Alu steerer (1"😉. There seems to be a bend/fracture at the top of the fork.
Front wheel seems OK(ish) but only after a quick glance.
Handlebar tape obviously shredded as is saddle (this is a combo of race-spill and yesterday's effort but he dont know that 😉 )
I suspect there also be a small crimp in the frame under the downtube, approaching the headtube. little bit of crumpled paintwork which is a sure sign.

So looks like everybody's cheek about a new bike may not be that far off the mark after all. Im a bit excited at that prospect but alot sad too. Me and that bike been thru alot (gravel, windscreens, rainy RTBs, AlpineClassics, My only win, many BR's, etc).
Cecil Walker shall be giving me a full lowdown soon so my voyeur fun can begin.

Owie, owie, OWIE!

Damn it...just like the accident I saw a few weeks ago. Hoping that all
those tendons can be tagged back onto where they need to be. The brain keeps
telling me to ask you to keep us posted, but I'm guessing that's redundant.

Lots of empathy and wishes of a fast recovery. Dutchy ..... Gags

Whats happened down there. Has tha Bermuda Triangle moved to 37.8 degrees south.

Will der new boik be green?

Cheers
Hugh

Who has the Flu but is putting it into perspective. Will do my 10 k next week Dutch.

Dutch,

Bad new. Get well.

It all goes to prove my findings that Balwyn is the most dangerous
place to cycle. On my daily commute from CBD to Blackburn about 90% of
the near miss or hits have occured in Balwyn.

Something in the water there?
