So you ever had one of those weeks? How about month? :)
Walked off my job due to a repetitive motion injury, just about a month ago..
Out riding just over a week ago, I hit a motorist. OK, I got my U.S. Choppers custom springer and my face:

So today I am on a 15 miler and just past the halfway point, Mr. Mayhem struck!
I was swooping into an unknown driveway, it was covered in a layer of river pea gravel, the round marble sized stuff. Naturally I thought, that's really dangerous on the cement driveway.... ok not, I had time to think, this will hurt.

I am just sore, my flesh will heal, my pride will also, but the damage to my paint and fork, make me consider getting a litigation team assembled! :)
 
On a subsequent ride I took a picture of my man trap!

I know it doesn't look bad, but at 20 mph it sucked!
 
Figured I would add, "the loneliest mile," to this thread!

Yes, that is my shadow walking to Wallmart to find out they don't carry 700c presta tubes....
Love a snake bite 10 miles out, no tools and no tube!
