Fair play!!! I've done eighty on a mountain bike a that was hairy enough

I once did an indicated 60 on a mountain bike, unfortunately within the same second I also did 0 and still have the internal metal work as a throphy!

Fair play to him for trying for double that!

Ouch

Best I've done is an assisted 42 mph on a road bike. Makes you think what if, when all you have is a cycle helmet for protection.

Wonder if Guy will be clad in leather for that speed?

I'd be dead if I'd a been wearing a helmet when I had my big off !!! Back a me Head hit me ass crack as forehead impacted ground after 40+ mph highside looked like a klingon for a few months though :thumbsup:

Crushed nuts when chain snapped while peddling off the seat uphill. helmet didn't save me.

Ouch even worse than beartraps draggin over shinbones urgh the horror

cricketers box might have, :thumbsup:

Got a mate who slid off front of his saddle into the stem leaving his scroat snagged in the toptube cable guide :thumbsup:

There's a lot to be said for ladies bikes with no crossbar. Mind you riding the motor bike nowadays due to old age on my lads SP1 I gave a new meaning to "Tank Slapper when I had to do an emergency stop. :cry:
His brakes are so much more powerful than mine.

I come of a bmx just before a jump about 20mph that hurt enough

No balls!!! shoulda hit it you might a survived :p
