Title: Bike Accident - (not for faint hearted? Bloody Knee Picture)
Post by: DoctorG on May 03, 2017, 02:27:57 PM
Hey All,

Its a shameless plug this one. Sorry about this.

Long story short, Crashed my bike last summer - Damaged Knee Picture here, I wont share the rest.

Anyway, I'm rebuilding the bike - Bike picture here : Note the new disc, refurbed caliper, fork seals, fork oil, springs, new head and wheelbearings, Tyres and lots of powdercoating !

I gotta raise the funds, I am missing out on some great weather.


So my 7.2Th/s Hashflare account is up for sale here:

Im in no hurry to sell, but for the right price (a fair price for buyer and seller) I can continue to buy the bits I need to move onto the next stage of the build :D

Always look out for idiots in flash cars who forget to put fuel in and leave car where you cant see at. In my case,it was a black audi left in the outside lane on a blind bend late at night... nuff said.

Thanks all :D

Ow. That probably hurt. How's your knee now? (I was attracted to this post because - "bloody knee"). Good luck, hope you sell your gear so you could ride again. :)

Ouch! It's great that you're getting back on the saddle. I suffered a string of much less harmful bike accidents years ago and I can't make myself get back on the bike. I just don't feel safe on it anymore.

You should upload this to BestGore.com, you might become popular there  :D

That looks like a really bad injury. Hope you recover quickly and fully :)

Ouch.
Have a quick recovery mate.

My first bike should arrive in a week. Everybody kept saying I shouldn't get one... its dangerous blah blah. Hopefully I'll stay clear of road idiots.
