KATSUMI 0 GROIN PULL 1

So I went to the surgeon and she did some poking tests and made me cough and other things and she said "This is not a Hernia, but a groin Pull."

Yes! No surgery! My brother who has had two extensive open heart surgery gave me some advice last weekend. He was like "Oh Dude, surgery is the best, you don't feel anything, you get to lie around all day afterwards watching TV or playing videogames and everyone brings you presents. Don't worry about it."

Well, still 6 weeks of active rest. I can ride my bike and jog around but not the lethal combination of 15MPH + Dismount + 40CM barriers + Remount.

I want to thank everyone for their caring wishes and yes, I will be back next year with a vengence, and these wheels that I just picked up for $250....

Hey, if it makes the public laugh that is what counts. So, are those the sexiest wheels ever? They are really heavy though.

Colin R said...

maybe you could petition physics to make sexiness weigh like, -1000 grams or something. of course... let me know first so i can grab some lead weights, dont want to fly off into the sky, ha ha.

Aluminum rims? Those wheels are near useless. Buy some new carbon ones. Peasant.

I recently had cake with the president of the editors of the organization which reviews for Science and Nature. Next time I will ask him to not dwell so much on the quantifiables like size and weight, but more on the unquantifiables, Sexiness and body odor stank ranking high on that list.

I just bought them for looks. I do not care about performance.

Yash Katsumi said...

Just look at them, they are glistening!

A message therapist I know was surprised on the original diagnosis in that not many doctors know how to make it. She said that 9/10 times it is something else. I guess she is correct and hopefully rest is much less intrusive than the knife. Good luck and take those wheels with you to the club. Magnets!!

Really?

I was hoping to wear them around my neck when I get on the bus this evening so all the ladies knew how rich I was.

Then, when I tell them what a great deal I got, they will be even more impressed.

Most people don't realize this but what a girl really looks for in a man is whether he is riding a deep dish wheelset or not.

pvb is right. not carbon. not tubulars. those would make for a nice set of anchors for my yacht, but those are more or less useless for bicyling purposes. :) glad to hear you don't need to go under the knife.

Yash Katsumi said...

You guys don't find these wheels like insanely sexy?

Yash Katsumi said...

All right, I just cancelled these wheels and I just put in an order for a Zank.

pvb said...

You should definitely wear those wheels on the bus Flavor Flav style.

There was a guy that JD and I were talking to who was wearing a 15t or 16t sprocket around his neck. And we wondering, what is trying to tell the ladies, that he likes to soft pedal? You must wear either an 11t or 53t, if not a sold 55t TT ring, to show them that you are serious.

Trust me, I have this all figured out.

matt said...

and a can made out of two 180mm crank arms fused end to end. a new zank... now that is sexy.

josh said...

ok, ill admit, a bit sexy.

van den kombs said...

Nice nice wheels. We were giving you a set as a gift if you had surgery.

great news that no surgery is required.. no gift, sorry.

bad news is that those supposed girls who are looking for the man with the deep dish wheelset, does usually want all the other equipment functioning..
so HEAL up quickly so you can ride around on your new pimped out Zank bike !

Zoo said...

dude, that's great news. Hopefully you'll be back on the bike racing cross by Sterling.

Yash Katsumi said...

I hope to be able to do the RI races. I went on a super easyride today and now that special area where I pulled the muscle seems to be twitching a little. We shall see. I would like to come back for the RI races and Capture the Overall Omnium for the Verge series.

Yash, I driving to Farmington and NoHo from Boston separately both days and coming back pretty much right after the B race. Lemme know if you have any interest in coming along I can totally give you a ride. I get mad bitches in the red Volvo, obviously.

Yash Katsumi said...

Dear Mr. C-Bomb. I may go out to NOHO with you to cheer and to get a couple laps in on the course with my bum groin.
