As I said before, I'm not too skilful offroad.

My boy was having a potter round, he got off for a break, and I jumped on the little DT just to rev it a bit.

Course I had no helmet on and foolishly decided to wheelie up a slippery bank.

Bad idea really....I'm not sure exactly what happened but I think the back end slid from under me. Somehow I got launched over the handlebars and landed heavily on the side of my face. :oops:

So now I've got various cuts, bumps and bruises....and what looks to be a black eye coming! Plus my neck must have got twisted and I've got quite a bad headache. :cry:

My fault completely....no offroad skill and no helmet!

Course the incident upset the wife and my boy who were both watching, cos apparently I hit the floor quite hard and stayed on the deck for quite a while. And I found out that I don't bounce as well at 50 as I did at 20.

So maybe I better stick to what I know.......road riding! :oops:

Nah its called perserverance 8)

Just checked the bike and the handlebars are twisted to shit.

Feel even worse about it now with messing up my boy's stuff.

You're 50? You are too old for that stuff mate. You should take up bowls or something.

Good job you weren't riding my bike cos I'm the only bloke on here who could handle it.

Yeah good excuse for some renthals 8)

i was just thinking the same thing alex, the boy'll be well chuffed if he gets some nice renthals on it 8)

The Mrs was videoing but missed that bit. Would have been worth £250 on Beadle too!

Looks like I bust my nose in the crash.

Which is great.....cos it seems to have straightened it a bit and I can now breathe much better!

some days you are the bug

some days you are the windshield

id never have a bloody go propper off roading-you got balls mate!! :shock:

get him some gold renthals he'l thank you for screwing up the bars,

arnt they shiety steel ones anyway - they were waiting to be bent...better with you on it than your lad ?

The thing is, he wasn't really taking to it much anyway. So the sight of me getting my face splattered didn't help much. :roll:

The wife was the only one who didn't come off!

Dont talk about bust noses, mines been done 4 times + rebreaks aghhh!!! Last time had to have my nose chiselled as the bone had all grown over and couldnt breathe :shock:

Mine's been bust about 6 or 7 times....all due to sports injuries in my younger days I must add.

Can't really put this one down to a sports injury though....more like gross stupidity really.

Yeah mine too! Hopefully it wont happen again as im allergic to the aneastive they use, so end up in hospital for three times as long :evil:

i had my nose broke in a club a few years ago for going with some guys gf :roll: it's was a headbutt too bastard :roll:

You didn't get broken noses fixed in my day Alex....you just carried on.

You youngsters are bloody soft these days!

you wouldn't say that if you met me pal.

i can hurt people bad in many ways.

Why dont you go back to bed then BIlly, and dream up some more :roll:
