bah i thought this might crop up again ! longish story and quite unlucky also young and foolish and didn't really know any better
i had had my polo bike stolen a week or two before the first ever london open tournament
i rode my bmx and ghost rid my only other bike at the time the 753r to brick lane for the big day
the bmx was deemed not suitable for the tourney so i had to ride the raleigh
1st game 5 mins in and some kent peddlar ( playing by the correct rules of polo ) ( or so they thought, it was actually horse polo rules they were following not hardcourt ghetto polo rules ) came towards me head on, he turned the correct direction accroding to the rules of horse polo i turned also ... head on collision
said kent peddlar landed on the reat stays and the rest as they say is history
a bad luck story all round !
