Battle Rank (sticker over accident)
 

Hello guys,

Some days ago i went on a 60 mile ride with a friend. The ride was really nice and demanded our preparation. I broke a big a$$ bottle in middle of the rode and had to change tube, fell on road on and scraped my paintjob taking a photo.

The scrape was pretty long, and it made me remember about a previous fall that broke my elbow and a t-tshirt i loved! Since i loved this tshirt so much i made a patch and felt it was like a military rank.

My nice bicycle was SCRAPED!:mad: and repainting the scrape would be simply too complicated. So i adopted the patch strategy.

Went to a store that makes vinyl stickers and made sew pattern as if the scrape was a sewed battle scar.. now i plan to fix my scrapes with some kind of military rank symbolism. the more scrapes i accumulate the more experienced i become.:thumb:

Since the sticker is over a scrape i desided to protect the new Rank(sticker) with book repair tape from 3m. this tape is very similar to lizard skin you put on the chain side. LOOKS AWESOME, heres a cellphone pic....looks better in person.

Nice recovery and nice ending.. Looks good too. :thumb:

BTW, you better watch out admitting that you crashed a couple times, there is a poster in another that says if you crash a couple times you incompetent!! :)

thanx!

Really!? thats absurd...theres to many variables on the road, like bottles, wet pine leafs, dog walkers, walkman walkers (lol), black ice, t bones, salmon riders, cars parked on MUP, opening doors, random glass, bicycles without brakes....too many variables..some sane some insane... Im actually pretty proud because i stood up and cycled away. Of coarse if someone falls too much for no apparent reason maybe they should visit a doctor and check themselves.

Book tape is my favorite 3M product.

Occupational hazard, I suppose.

looks nice. definalty a long knarly scratch.
