Mate you need to trim your armpit hair 😡
Did that put you off your breakfast Hora 😆
I have to say that picture does make my armpit hair look excessive but its not that bad in reality 😉
just a few wisps...
could you not plait them? It would be neater.
I can see John Cleese in that bruise !
I'm not into male grooming (no not the sexual kind!) and yes I a hairy git 😉
Did you take a picture of your bicep and post it on the internet without tensing? That could be a first.
Yeah - sorry that was tensed 😉

I cheated though - ski injury - thought I could ski like I bike 🙄
foxy - yoo's a hairy dude! (Make me look like an imposter.) 😳
Why do I open these threads? Looking at injuries (particularly facial ones!) completely wrecks my mojo for a couple of rides.
Its just a slightly more grown up "Top Trumps" ! 😉
Hope your mates ok now, I'm nursing a couple of fractured ribs ATM. Did have purple gonads back in April but have no pictures of them ( wife wouldn't take any ), just imagine big ripe purple plumbs.

Lucky escape....
Yeah - he's fine - 3 fractures in C1, non-displaced - so fine apart from a stiff neck and a brace for 10 weeks - fine now 🙂
I did my gonads 5 days before my wedding!
I unfortunately never bruise, even severe crashes don't cause bruise, not even 90mph crashes on motorbikes lol... if I did I would be permenantly black and blue.
My girlfriend on the other hand bruise at the thought of pain...

after a tangle with the Emporer Zurg.
I don't know how to take that!
😉
SO - TBH your second photo does not 🙂 (take it as a compliment - that is how it was made 😉 ) Perhaps it was just me then who thought GM 😉
Lol waswas!
Another chance to show off the insides of my arm? 😛
This was a brake lever impalement:

That took 7 stitches to fix, but then they thought I needed a more impressive scar...

Am now sporting this contraption, probably until I have a tendon transfer done at christmas time

Have to say - SO and lipseal that looks like it hurt more than my arm did!
Nasty big chainring.

Dislocated a couple of fingers. Doesn't look much but took 2 months to heal and still hurts 2 years later when its cold.
if anyone is wondering whether to go double and bash, then let penguinni's pic sway your dcision.
@Becky - wow - look like Skeletor off He-Man !! - Blimey - big injury from a small skin wound - severed you tendon then and they had to go back in again? Heal soon !!!

Just have last weekend!! Phew!!
Some pretty grim pics there and sending healing vibes, particularly to becky. How long do you have to keep that on for and how on earth are you managing? Do hope you'll be back on your bike before too long. 🙂
I haven't taken any pics of mine but you guys would be dead jealous of my scabs. 😉

Yeah, wouldn't believe it had caused that much damage - its the nerves that were damaged (which they then managed to make worse 👿 )

That'll be on until either tendon transfer or until things spontaneously fix (very unlikely but I can hope...), you get used to it, was difficult at first though as its my dominant hand 😛
This was mine from Afan in Feb '09. There was a thread on the crash on here at the time as I had to be airlifted out 🙂
