Bollocks - Rider Down (but not out...)

Posted on
  • I was being good and getting some miles in around Richmond Park this morning - hit the Richmond Gate roundabout too fast for the greasy road and my tires adhesion and bit the road - I now have eight stitches in my chin, and am off the bike and the alcohol for a week :-(

    Don't buy Vittoria Corsa CX tyres, they don't grip very well...

  • Shit, dude

    Sorry to here that, hope you're OK...

  • Ohhh Simon ! Sorry to hear that mate ! That sucks !
    But face heals very fast and the chin should leave a very subdued scar
    I challenge you with my new eye/temple scar soon.

    After the stiches have been pulled you need to keep it moistured with something
    like E45 and stay out of the sun for only 6 months :)

    I am off alc too for the coming week. Drop me text when you are back on
    track and I buy you a solidary pint !

    Get better soon mate !

  • Ouch!!! Just been out for a ride myself and came off after hitting a patch of black ice. Be carefull all.

  • i've seen a few people come off on the roundabout. it looks ok, but the camber is nasty. hope you mend soon.

  • Bummer! Rest up man... And NO booze for a week, that sucks... :(
    I've been taking corners like a super-pussy the last coupla weeks, it's proper greasy out there!

  • ouch, sorry to hear that simon, we gotta compare scrars :)

  • Ouch sorry to hear that :( face scars suck but they heal quite fast. i present mine :D


  • Hope the boat race heals up well Simon...

    Had my back wheel clipped by a turning car on Peckham High Street earlier today - watch out for those half asleep January drivers folks
