T-Bone

I left early to work from home today. Saw Buffalo 'where's my razor' Bill on Grays Inn Rd. Lalala happy riding..

Shep Bush, the day after I'd removed my full carbon forks and had them swapped for alu steerer carbon forks..

Some stupid fscking cnut featured idiot mutherfscker rides his frickin' bike through a gap in the moving traffic, alongside which I'm riding.
Bang. Smash into the fsckhead's back wheel.
I flip. He complains about my language!! WTF is it with people sooking about my language when they fsck with ME?!
He wants to start something but gives up when I look and sound just as keen to kick it off..
I realise my bike is okay and his back wheel is fscked so he's not dead. I didn't kick his face off. No need to call the police.
Anyway, I'm almost happy on the inside and take pleasure in disconnecting his brake and kicking fsck outta his wheel.
We part happy.. until I get home and notice my Selcof headset has a split down it.. FSCK!
Murder Death Kill Murder Death Kill Murder Death Kill Murder Death Kill Murder Death Kill Murder Death Kill

bad luck. is the fork ok?

So far as I can tell the bike is rock solid. Except the headset now appears to have a crack down the side. :(

you really do live up to your name lol

shit about the fork though

that's a Fooka - got a black deda force carbon fork lying around if youse needs one fella

I'd blame Bill.

but this biker sounds like a right fuckwit, I don't normally berate many people on the road, certainly not cyclists, but a bald bloke on a hybrid swerved into my path from the opposite direction today and I told him to attend to his direction more carefully, else cause a nasty accident.

more bikes?

hmmmm, more experienced riders less fuckwits!

he wanted to fight, but didn't like swearing?

sounds a bit odd, if you ask me

Cheers guys. I'm gonna ride to a mates and get drunk now. If it lasts then it should be sweet. Methinks the headset absorbed all the force.
That'll be the 2026th headset I've destroyed one way or another then...

I tend to come across as a little bit angry when people jeopordise my safety and my bike's safety and this puts some people off so much it takes them time to realise they might want a fight.
Then they realise that I probably want a fight more and then it goes back to normal chatter. He ended up apologetic and even I was happy with the fact my bike looked fine and his was fscked.
His back wheel was seriously taco'd. 'Course it wasn't until I got home that I noticed a line down the headset :S

never mind the kit mate, at least you can still ride, go get drunk!

Done. I rode in today and it feels a bit dodgy up front - to be expected with the forks moving slightly in the headset.
I'll leave it I think and see if I can get some use out of this Selcof jobbie before binning it and putting something new in.
The bars look odd too but that could just be my mind playing tricks..
