  5. That's the spirit, sacrifice yourself for the greater good. You live, you learn. I've dropped two bikes, three times. Felt like an idiot each and every time. I hope the damage was slight :cool:

  12. Oops. When ever me and my mates have a silly accident (on mountain bikes, motorbikes etc...) we always laugh at how often will sacrifice ourselves for teh bike as part cost money, but cuts/bruises/pride heal for for free. Just gotta pick it up and keep going :biggrin:
