#45 (I think)

Knocked off by cyclist who came through a red light and t-boned me. Friday morning 15th June.

So that’s a bloke, not averse to the odd pie, knocked off a lardy CBF1000 by a slip of a girl on a pushbike...

... NOT cool. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Laughing

No injury to either party. The CBF1000 has a few scars, but not too serious. The damage is probably equivalent to a driveway drop. I'm hoping that the oil I noticed on my boot on Friday night is just from breathers evicting a few ml of oil that got into the wrong place while the bike was on its side.

Driving behind a people carrier that was indicating to turn left, as it did so, a white van pulls out of the road that the people carrier was turning into to turn right but has to stop, thereby blocking my side of the road, as the driver of the van couldn't get across both lanes of traffic. I hit both brakes, back wheel goes and me and the bike end up sliding across the tarmac and end up wedged under the van. Looks like the bike's going to be written off as the damage estimate is about £3,000. Thankfully all I ended up with is a damaged achillies tendon. Evil or Very Mad

Came off this morning, albeit quite slowly. They've been putting frash tar and chipping down on the roads which has left loads of loose stone chippings covering the road, making it like riding on gravel (it's been like this for over a week and they still haven't cleared them up).

Anyway, as I approached a set of traffic lights they changed to amber from green, so I had a 50/50 decision to make, should I risk braking or take a chance at getting through the junction safely. As I was only going slow I took the option to gently brake. All was going well untill I was just about to come to a halt when I heard the sound I didn't want to hear, that of the front tyre sliding on the loose chippings, then down went the bike and me.

Bloody cagers just sat there watching me struggle to lift the bike back up and move it out the way so they could get past. They probably didn't want to get wet as it was pissing down Evil or Very Mad Mad

Apart from a bit of a sore foot I'm okay and so is the bike except the front right indicater's gone.

Going to have to ride home from work tonight with no front indicator too, great!

First crash, hopefully not too many more to come.
Going along a wide road with a row of parked cars to the left, when a red vans right indicators come on and at the same time he pulls out in front of me, maybe to go down a side road or to do a u-turn.
On go the brakes, try to gently move right incase he stops but went over into a skid, smashed into the side of him and was launched across to the other side of the road.
Shoe came flying off, luckily without my foot in it. Lots of lovely looking lumps sticking through my sock, but had an xray and nothing broken. Got off pretty lightly really Thumbs Up
Bike would be a write off, but if we end up settling outside insurance, i'll take some time on it as a project bike.
Heres a pic:

Turning from main road to the drive way, bike just slipped on the side, don't know what happened, was riding to fast, turning to sharp or original Yamaha tyres are so rubbish.
Bike got a bit of scratch on break leaver, clock casing and clocks are not strait now - will look how to put the in right position.
Driver not injured

Dammit too many cyclists have no regard for the rules of the road. I've seen too many cyclist-induced accidents.

I'm also convinced that they cause more fuel expenditure than they save by not driving, since they cause traffic to bunch up behind them and shift gears a lot, and then expend fuel to accelerate and overtake them.

Selfish c*nts! Hope the bike is alright and she pays up.

This happens way too often. Cheap way of doing a road, chuck a load of gravel down and wait for traffic to press it in. They did it near us on pretty much every main road near us at the same time, meaning my commute always had a stretch of at least a mile on it, bloody terrifying when a wheel slips etc... seems like road safety isn't a priority anymore for our government (apart from more fucking speed cameras or that chalk they put round potholes rather than fixing them....)

Is exactly what happened to me, but going around a corner slowly (I'm above, in the low thirties).

If it's any consolation, Honda's stock tyres on a CBF125 are probably even worse in the wet. When it rains, I ride like a grandma.

yeah, this is about a mile/mile and a half stretch of road they're doing it to and I have to travel on it twice a day to work and back and am worried as hell everytime I ride on it. Also, the road in question is part of the TT course so you'd expect them to do a better job.

My first spill today. Going round a bend fairly fast I see a lorry coming the opposite direction taking up some of my side of the road. I start to swing wide and see there is a lot of gravel on the road. I could of readjusted my line but it would of required a steeper lean angle which I didnt think the bike could manage on that gravel. So instead I ended up running wide onto 15ft of a gravel layby on which I could not slow down or turn, then flew off a bank. I jumped off, and we(me and bike) landed in a gorse bush, mullering it Smile

Was pretty damn lucky considering 95% of the terrain around here is rocky, trees, or drops. Apart from a slightly sore ankle i'm fine. My carbon fibre mtc exhaust is slightly damaged but air tight still, indicator off, a few cracks in the fairing, broken light, broken resevoir, mostly cosmetic I think.

Chucked the gs up the road, came over speedbump, on the power, 2nd, floor. Million roly polys and the fucking leathers split all round my knee. Havent seen bike or pics, im told indicator, screen, exhaust, engine casing, bent forks, bent bars, snapped levers and stuffs.

4hrs in pembury hospital in a neckbrace was no fun at all! Knees all fucked up, road rash on back and everything hurts.

No idea if the throttle jammed open, if i hit dodgy surface or if my back tyre went. Wont know till i've reviewed crash site & checked bike over. Rolling Eyes


Missed this!
Sorry to hear than Iain, ouch! Thumbs Down Thumbs Down

Haven't had the 500 long aswell have you?

Wonderful incident thismorning. Van decided that attempting a U turn from behind a lorry is a fantastic idea. Especially when it means going into the on coming traffic lane. Cue me going into the side of a van.

Front forks bent, suspension naffed, handlebars bent, clocks mashed and my nuts left a beautful dent in the tank.

Damage to me: Scuffed leathers, guffed helmet and some bruises.

Only been riding 4 weeks ish, i feel like such a failure Sad.

Basically, I turned into a retail park slip road, was at about 10 mph and used the front brake as I was turning, in the wet and next thing I know I'm on my side, with the bike running next to me. It was basically a slowside.

My Grandad says there is diesel and oil all over there, but I admit it's (to quote Led Zeppelin) nobody's fault but mine.

Damage to me - graze on my elbow and on my knee (thank god I wore all my gear - I'll never say leather troos on a 125 are overkill again!).

Damage to bike - Smashed nearside indicator cover.

Lucky really.

Paint diagram attached, but it's not too exciting.
