When I was about 12 I was turning right on my BMX but cut right infront of a Volvo which hit me hard. I was sprawled on the bonnet looking through the window at the rather alarmed face of the old lady driver.
I was completely unhurt and what's more my trusty Raleigh Burner was perched up on the front of the Volvo with the pedal smashed through the radiator grill. We apologised to each other and I retrieved my bike and continued my ride to school.
found a bolt missing from my rear calliper the other day, dunno how long it had been missing for, wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't been cleaning my bike (not a common occurrence) that brake does have a habit of losing bolts....pretty sure I haven't lost calliper bolts from any other brake.
Have also lost pad retaining pin - and pads - mid downhill, fortunately it wasn't too steep, was fast tho. No idea how it came out, hope M4, should have had an R clip (or those other ones can't remember) on it
Ok It's bugging me, what is wrong with the Campy Brakes in the picture?
walked down the stairs yesterday to find the garage door wide open.first thoughts were - been robbed.... quick spy around - nothing missing.
looked at the padlocks - unlocked..... flashbacks ..... i rushed inside last night after putting mrs t-rs bike away and obviously forgot to close the door :s
Me and the missus went to New Zealand for a few months, leaving our neighbours (long standing family friends who happen to live across the way) to keep an eye on the house.
They reported that, only after three months, they discovered the back door had been left unlocked when we left. Oops.

It's explained above.
Re hitting cars and being unharmed - my mate hit a car head on whilst doing about 30mph down a long private singletrack driveway. Landed upside-down in the unoccupied passenger seat, unharmed.
