...and people walk by and say nothing.

people always walk by and says nothing, they're british!

if a tramp throw an empty can of lager at you, what would you do? scream abuse at him? act surprise? pick it up and throw it in the correct bin? give some money to the tramp?

no, all you'd think is "I wonder how can I pretend that didn't happen?".

Personally, I'd kick him in the nads

Glad your ok dude

I would have got off the floor and rushed the mother fucker. And battered him until he was pleading for mercy

if a tramp throw an empty can of lager at you, what would you do?

I think that question deserves a thread all of it's own.

He was 1 big ugly angry mother fucker! I stood my ground but he could have snapped my head clean off kids. I'm a lover not a fighter!

You did right!

sorry to hear that duncan it was a sweet ride

hope you're ok man

you did the right thing, when a bear approach, best thing is to do is to play dead, not dance like an oompa loompa provoking the bear.

I love oompa loompas!!!!!!!!!

I love oompa loompas!!!!!!!!!

It just hit me, who will be brave enough to have an oompa loompa theme bike?

Someone is already doing one aren't they? I'm sure I've seen a pic..

Ed you have a very interesting outlook on life! Bear attacks and Oompa Looppas . . . I was pretty concussed but I'm sure there weren't any there!

Unless it was one of those little purple fuckers that knocked me over! ;)

I'm really annoyed that my frame folded so easily, expected it to be stronger! GRRRR!!

o rly?
in the usual car vs bike competition, the car wins
think you may have had a knock to the head mate, go easy on the painkillers.

seriously, glad you are ok, hope it gets sorted properly.

frame pain...always the part that hurts the most. Heal up dude and take whatever is necessary to get over it. lucky you got some nice parts on that frame so easily transferable.... its just a frame.

Not sure what to do . . . get the same (BLB) frame again, or go for something different?

Thoughts? Bearing in mind as soon as my leg feels better I wanna be back out riding!

From one donut to another...I'm glad you're not hurt. Too bad about your frame.

should have fucked him to a weak pulp man! WAC

Good to hear your sorted.. Looks like the good ladies bike might be a little bit of a bigger frame.. and maybe with the bars you wanted.. and maybe in your colour..

Some pics of the carnage. Shite photos and you cant really tell but it's bad. :(

Top tube dent.

Bent rear end! (Insert jokes here) ;)

From one donut to another...I'm glad you're not hurt. Too bad about your frame.

Thanks Donut.

Shit! Thats nasty but as shinscar said you've got some good components for the BLB frames replacement. Main thing is that you're all good!

hey duncan, real sorry to hear this and glad you're relatively okay. i too got the left turn treatment a couple weeks back, but got off lightly with a cut/crushed finger and slightly bent front wheel after i crashed into his rear wing!

i haven't met you but was admiring your bike on track day as its the same frame as mine - cream blb in a 53!! however, got a new/old frame last week and swapped my parts over - was thinking of holding onto the blb but you're more than welcome to take a look at it if it would help? it was the bike in the crash but got blb to check it out the day it happened and they said it seemed fine... its just under 4 months old, has a small ding about half way along the top tube (it 'fell' onto a lamp post when i was a little tipsy one night!) but other than that and a few scuffs here and there its okay... its not being used so you're welcome to just borrow it if you like, and if you're interested i won't want much for it, just thought i'd offer as it might help.

main thing is you're okay though dude! all the best and hope the leg feels better soon

what bike is that? I didn't recongised the frame.

what bike is that? I didn't recongised the frame.

Brick Lane Bike's own track frame, i think they're made by the same mob who make IRO frames..?

Hi Crabtree, it is a BLB 53. Is the 'ding' in your top tube as bad as mine??

I'll def. bear you in mind, can you PM me any pics & price you have in mind?
Cheers.
