    It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

    Interesting - that looks like you scraped the outside of your right leg after falling on a left turn. How did you manage that?

    That's the only one I was sent. Are you doing the Halesowen circuit race tomorrow? I'll be there limping and taking photos...

    Could you rename this thread to "I fell off my bike and now I want attention"? Would be more accurate.

    Probably not - I don't think you can edit thread titles once the thread has been replied to. However, I will try, just for you.

    Ok so it's a pointless thread but it's no worse than the hundreds, if not thousands of "I've bought a new bike/component/item of clothing/arse-dildo, give me attention and kind words!" threads. And no worse than the willy-waving "Hey everyone, look, I do x miles per week! Isn't that AWESOME?! But only reply with sycophantic praise or I'll get upset and throw my toys out of the pram!" type threads.

    How about me wearing shorts in the winter the day after a black ice encounter! I then make it 'weep' for as long as possible with a daily rub of sea salt crystals....

    Now who's the daddy?!

    I cut all the skin off my legs before any ride and have people stand along my route and throw buckets of vinegar at me as I go.
