I begged my folks to buy me a Chopper bicycle like this

(but yellow)
and after about a week decided to go full pelt down the steepest hill in town, well brake technology wasn't great in the 70's and Choppers weren't made to handle, I soon ran out of road, hit the kerb snapping the front forks off and buckling the wheel, which catapulted me head first into a brick wall.
The concussion and head injury was nothing compared to the sore arse I got after being walloped by the old man when I finally went home and fessed up. :(

I.E = fix up other peoples fok ups.
My bike rack is from the old school that is manufactured to take a bike top bar that has a round bar.
The new bike has a top bar that is rectangular in shape and doesn't quite fit snug into the groove on the bike carrier.
I figure no problem, rap a cloth around the top bar so it don't move and crank it down hard, all looked and felt secure.
Usually I would tie it on with an ocky strap or wrap tape around it so it ain't going no where but because I was only going 6klm to my house and it looked and felt secure I thought not a problem here so lets go home.
Bad foking move on my part as the movement of the bike on the car as I travelled down the road loosened the securing nut and next thing I know my bikes lying like a bag of shite on the road.
Funny thing about this story is that when I tell people what happenned no one finds it amusing and usually just stand there shaking there foking heads just like I done when it happenned.
Funny that they feel my pain and usually I sense that they are saying to themselves : That could of been me , thank fok it was'nt. :)
I just told my mate that was with me drinking that night and his first words where
= OH Fuk No. :rolleyes:
could have been worseQuote:

Yep,
I agree totally as I could have spilt $1600 worth of Dark German Ale at the Suam Lum night market and then I would of seriously topped myself. :rolleyes:
Fok matey, its only a foking push bike so who gives a flying squirrels ball bag ??
Not me,
Cheers and may God share his man juice with all Teak Door punters. :)

Fok punters, my mate was drinking with him a few months ago and now the poor fella is in a box. :confused:
Fok the push bike as it just brings home to me how precious our lifes are, fok the small shit as its absolute bullshit.
Ive always known that and life live as such.
R. I. Peace. Buckwheat, never got the chance to meet you but my mate did and said you where OK.
You never said if you paid with a credit card Terry
as for the insurance companies thinking you were a twat, that is by the way
if you acted in good faith and really thought you had secured the bike properly, then that should be within the regs
I saw an old chinese fella riding a blue Raleigh Chopper today. And the gears were still working. Most of the Choppers I still see in use here in Singapore have had the gears ripped out. It made me quite excited which is probably a bit worrying.Quote:

Anyway my mates wife is in the Insurance game and has told me, if my household insurance has an away from home policy I will be covered.
That means that if any of your contents get damaged outside the house they will cover it.
Foking hope my insurance policy has this so I'm off to check it. :)
Might be able to finally separate that foking dildo from my arse. :rolleyes: :)
Your CC Company should be your first port of call, not your insurers.
^
Never heard of a credit card company covering these things but I will call then now.
Thanks
If it's any consolation, I didn't backup my photos.
^ nice touch, I feel great now :D
damn, and I thought this thread was about you needing to buy some padded shorts and a gel-filled saddle.Quote:

I reply, Thanks very much but I already know about the free travel insurance.
Strike one.
Next phone call is to my household insurance company and a very nice lady answered the call, I give her the story and asked if my insurance policy covered my bike.?
Once again I hear a nervous giggle and she informs me, No sir but I can provide you with a company that does insure bikes.
Thanks very foking much as my bikes already foked but I might just insure for the next time the bastard thing falls of my car. :mid: :deadhorsebig:
Strike two.
Anyway, looks like I'm well and truly foked as far as insurance goes and that huge fok off dildo is staying in my arse. :)
Funny thing is its starting to feel good. :rolleyes: :sorry1: :)
Strike three. There ain't one as I was foked after strike two. :spam2:

Just give him the remains of your bike without the saddle.
Never mind matey!
Nothing gained, nothing ventured and you will be up in the saddle soon I am sure.
Ya can't keep a good man down.
Oh, and get your bike back and keep everything you can for spare parts as there is no way they can properly straighten out and get running those composite material road bikes perfectly.
Maybe that's any idea...............:)
Buy a new frame only and re-assemble the bike yourself using the recovered parts. Probably do a better job and you will know that it is right. :)
