Ooops
Didn't want to threadjack the fender mod post anymore, but thought sharing these pics might help a little for new riders who may sadly find themselves in a similar place of putting their bike back together...
Sadly, no. That was after my little incident.... the impact popped the can right off of the pipe From another thread - here's the short version Quote:
The leftmost red arrow is the fence post that I made friends with that day, the other two show where the gravel was, the yellow line shows the yellow line, and I'm not sure what the red line was, though between the red and yellow, you can see where the gravel was stripped to leave only tar. What was kind of humorous to me was that when we went to take that picture, my husband's car couldn't keep traction to get out of there either, and his tires spun and then grabbed pretty roughly.... That was in the repair stage - there are before pics here. A couple of the better ones are below, along with some of the repaired pics. And we can't forget the damage to me (the swelling the day after) (that one was 2 days later, shows the tone of the bruising a bit better though) Last futzed with by noche_caliente; January 17th, 2009 at 01:12 PM. |

noche... not to add insult to injury, but could you comment on leg protection that you were wearing at the time of the "oops"? Glad to hear the knees have been recently given an improved prognosis that was previously diagnosed.

Felt good to put it all back together though, eh? |

The gear I was wearing at the time can be seen here - this was a silly pic we took while waiting for the bike to finally come in... Which can all be found in the What's in your closet thread, along with more recent gear.... Quote:
These two pics from New Enough show the armor in them: The only scratch on my body came from the failure of the Scorpion Cool Hand Mesh gloves that I was wearing. Still love them for comfort, but not so much for protection. And here are more pictures of my injuries I feel much more confident in working on the bike after taking her apart and fixing her myself! I had my husband help on the things that I was physically unable to do because of my injuries, but I can honestly say that I did all of the work myself! |

ooowww! that hurts just looking at it! I'm very sorry for what happened and I'm glad you're doing better. It's a good thing you were all geared up, I can't imagine what you would like like without it! I once had my knee look exactly like yours from a ski racing incident, only I was extremely lucky not to tear anything. Again, I'm glad to hear that you and the bike are okay now, be safe!
