Not again - did the cone jump out at ya....
On that note this evening one of my club's cricketers 4 overs in the game did this to himself ... and held the catch! First game of the season for the poor chap.
Don't dare telling him your horror story...

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Ouch!
Well at least with a bit of practice you’re starting to bounce a bit better. No broken bones is a bonus.
Get well soon ya dafty

Hey, Mac, sorry to hear this.
One of your lesser ones, though, and it's not as if you don't have enough spare bikes to use.
Rats across London are congratulating themselves for the old cone trick.....

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Out of Action...
Cut the strapping off, nice bruising blooming, still a bit sore, had a shower, all ok.
Got me bike gear on & pulled Custurd from the lair...
Gloves on...sore... went for a wee ride as a test... Yes I can pull the clutch with two fingers but don't have full control over clutch doing that so deem that unsafe to ride. Plus I can't hold the bar as you would normaly as curling the finger in question is still sore...
Came home, bike away, gear off... 15mins or so I'm dripping with sweat...
Called work blew out tomorrow, had another shower, re strapped up finger, coffee on, feet up...& relax.
I have Mon, Tues & Wed's booked off any way so no need to panic will go back in next Thurs should be good by then...

Re: Out of Action...
Wait, are you still experiencing more bike crashes than underwear changes?
I gotta admit it's impressive that your still alive! Glad you're mostly okay and you're even able to make jokes about things, like not having 6 fingers and whatnot

Let's all keep our fingers crossed oooooooh!!
Re: Out of Action...
Dont change them anyway, just throw away once they start to rot through... Saves on washing powder...
Anyway it wasn't a crash, didn't loose control or fall off just caught a cone...
Ask Pete L about his trying to move an obstuction in the road with his foot...

Hope you didn't bend the swing arm.
Re: Out of Action...
I think Pete has earned the benefit of the doubt though given that he hasn't had more accidents in the time I've seen him active than I've had hot dinners! Also Pete is old and senile so of course he's going to have a harder time of thingsMacV2 wrote:Dont change them anyway, just throw away once they start to rot through... Saves on washing powder...

I resemble that remark!!!
Actually I think I'm so senile I've forgotten how to fall off
How the hell did you remember that? Nothing wrong with your brain! Don't listen to what everyone else is saying about you, I'll stand up for youAsk Pete L about his trying to move an obstruction in the road with his foot...

Re: Out of Action...
I would love to hear this story, how tipsy does Pete need to be to give us some story time? I can order the alcohol to him if needed
