If there is a god or gods or some higher power out there may any of them bless Elon Musk and his wonderful Tesla Truck.
If I die it is probably because I got in a knife fight with a jealous ex-lover over a titanium Firefly.

If I die on a road bike it’s because some idiot in a car didn’t stop at a green light while I was blowing through a red light on a huge downhill blast….
I just hope it’s quick and painless!

A new route I was riding went past a place called Jurassic Park. What I thought was the "whoosh whoosh" of carbon wheels coming from behind turned out to be a hungry Pterodactyl. He carried me off and ate me for dinner.

I just hope that if I ever wreck it it doesn't catch fire with me trapped in it.

If I die, it's probably because...

Hi 40mph today. Still a bit spooked but so far, not dead. Couldn't get the tire to burp while doing my cornering tests. The tire feels too slow and floppy below 55psi anyway, so I'm going to keep it inflated pretty hard. That should help.

I was hunting Strava KOMs during a freak storm.
A lightning bolt hit my helmet mounted cam and put a shocking end to that.

I tried to pirate a local charity ride. I got caught and had to walk the plank.
