Just popped into my garage to grab some oil for the land rover when I noticed one of my mountain bikes no longer affixed to its holder (at over head height) but lying partially across the boot and drivers side rear wing of the cerb! It had fallen down and somersaulted onto the car...! Unbelievably no damage done to the car! Phew!

and his mate.

The only bike that ever held any interest for me was called Helen.

I don't understand some people. Next you'll all be telling me that you willingly put on a pair of comfortable shoes and walk across fields with a rucksack on your back rolleyes

i bet you got that sick feeling,, followed by total joy.

I once droped my motor bike on the bonnet of the cerb while trying to put it on the centre stand, while in a bit of a rush.

i must say fibre glass is a lot tougher than it looks smile

I was ok about it. A quick expletive had it covered. I managed to smash myself in the face with a claw hammer on Sunday and luckily hit soft tissue not bone, teeth or eye, so I wasn't feeling overly worried about material goods after that incident! A bit of blood and not too much pain! A few scratches can easily be painted by Brendan the wonder boy (car not face).

Claw hammer at face height trying to get a large nail out of concrete. Leant into it, nail suddenly comes away along with concrete and plaster and bang into face!
