The cost of a fall

[JeRkY]

The resultant cost of falling off a bike at 30+mph onto tarmac.

Damage to bike £100
Wrecked shorts £30
Cracked Helmet £90
Hole in the side of brand new SPD shoes. £75
Smashed teeth £1750
Overnight stay in hospital £ God only knows!

Being able to put it all behind you and get back on the saddle £ priceless

Blimey, sounds really bad but guessing as you can make light of it you're ok which is the main thing.

Reckon you need some more expensive shorts though.....

The Fall cost me any chance of getting the leg over with a great looking girl once. Her parents were away for the night but I went to watch grumpy bollocks and co instead.
I'd happily give my teeth and bike for another crack at her.

Jerky: good you can laugh about it ( and smile now!)

Si: personally I'd never let anything get before me and getting me oats. But that's probably just cos I'm still a virgin...

at least you didn't have to pay for an airlift out

Titanium, 853, purple ano.......or just plain old enamel teeth. What do you go for?

Tbh I thought the ambulance was overkill!

I am in the process of going for white, I opted for enamel over powder coat though. A gold tooth could have been quite cool.
