What's going on on Thursday?! It sounds fun either way.
I manage to fold my rear wheel, re-build with spare rim, then cracked both welds on the headtube of my Pug followed by then snapping the rear axle whilst pulling away from some lights. This then bent both dropouts inwards!
So I now have a new wheel and am borrowing a frame/forks/cranks etc. No idea what it is or how it's going to ride yet but here it is:

once i forgot to do up the QR on my front wheel properly, and when I lifted the front wheel to go over something it just fell out. I went straight over the handlebars, ended up in hospital with concussion and had my forks splayed out like dale's mum's legs.

When i was 18, I got knocked off my bike by a HGV. The bike was folded in half.
My bike got pulled under the front wheel, throwing me forward - and spinning me round - so i landed on my head.
I fractured my skull, and now i can't taste or smell ANYTHING as a result.
That was nearly 12 years ago.
My "shit really don't stink" ha, haOh, I put my front teeth through my upper lip, after hitting a car door that got thrown open, whilst i was at full speed. Stitches and false front teeth. Bent forks.
I've had a chainring embedded into my knee - snapped pedal - knee arthroscopy.
And a few flats....Punctures are a fucker eh!

I snapped the forks on a rusty beater I had at uni.
(Steel shoppers do not bunny hopp curbs like my old BMX did BTW) -

tried to remove cranks with a cranktool but forgot to take the cap of first, as a result i took off all the threads and i did the same on the other side before i realised i was doing something wrong hehe, never did get the cranks off.

I managed to break the chain, rear axle, dent the rim, bend the rear dropouts, and ruin many a crank arm (cycling with it loose) on my old mountain bike. But that was mainly my fault.
On me racer someone thought it would be a good idea to T-Bone me. Both wheels like pringles, bent chainrings, torn bar tape (ok, thats not so bad), damaged shifters, damaged pedals, damaged bars. She pretty much damaged everything, somehow the aluminium frame held its own!

I crashed my bike head on into a bus. The only thing damaged was the fork, but it was completely fucked, bent backwards at the crown from the force of the impact.

Post a pic of your bike - i saw a few people out on fixeds today. My new set up obviously left a lasting impression on you then.
I actually really like it so far and it's a 're-welded keep-me-going' frame!

Oooh, I don't know. I don't want everyone to take the piss out of me.

Heh, I did think it was strange that I should be able to recognise it so easily, it quite surprised me that I was able to. But it's the sticker pattern that does it really, especially that Vans sticker and the other red and white one in front of it. -

Haha! nice one Gus, did you do the frame in as well?

How the hell did you manage that? what hub was it? And i'm guessing you trashed your girlfriends bike as well, shit Gus I think you need your own thread for your bike killage/destroyin!

And I thought I had problems with barspin clearance!

Seems 1980s Nervar cranks were never meant to last 20 years. Thankfully bike and I are unscathed.
(Needed new cranks anyway - 122BCD is difficult to find chainrings for)
