Sorry to hear about your pal cansa!

Cycling biker, it was that exact corner! No shit! Glad to see it's not just me that has misjudged that one. Rogerborg, I think cyclingbiker has kindly provided a picture/diagram for me

I keep meaning to go on that road again and not crash, it taught me not to ride faster than is safe depending on how far ahead I can see. It was embarrassing crashing in front of a whole group of people I barely knew on my first ride out (that I was leading )

Yes I am still alive and well Ash, that black tape adorned my fairings until I got them repaired the next week, unfortunately the repair and paint job by that chap from Ellesmere port was shit and not worth £120 I paid the fucker.

Need to go on another NWB rideout soon for sure

Major York's road Tunbridge Wells

8am this morning, great start to the weekend

Riding along , I see a biker with his hazards on by the side of the road with his phone out, I signal to him for several seconds to make sure he's ok - look back round and the traffic in front has suddenly stopped - grab a handful of the front and off I come off at around 30 - 40 mph.

Got up straight away and hobbled over to my bike lying by the kerb.

Biker ran over in shock , helped me lift my bike up. After we got the bike up we check for damage before I hopped back on and started her up - unfortunately I couldn't get her started so walked him with the bike (fortunately I live about a 15 minute walk away).

Before walking home, I was met by about 3 - 4 people who had got out of their cars to ask if I was ok and the two drivers in front came over to ask whether it was their fault it happened.

It turns out all the biker needed were some directions..

Green - me looking at biker with hazards on

Red - place of spill - either go into the back of a range rover sport or go sliding down the road

Yellow - where traffic had stopped

Bike damage

I will need to replace crash bungs and rear brake lever, everything else seems to be ok , just scratched.

Helmet and gloves need replacing, apart from that everything else is in good nick.

Lost count of numbers, sorry

Was sitting in the middle of the right hand lane of the A4 heading into Central London at a red light, nothing behind me, thinking about what I was going to have for lunch. Next thing, I hear SCCRREEEEEEEEECCHHHH and I'm airborne. End up with the bike in the middle of the crossroads and me face down near the pedestrian crossing. A guy in a Sprinter van had rear-ended me.

Guy said the sun was in his eyes and didn't see me. He clearly didn't see the stopped vehicles on my left in the other 2 lanes and the 3+ red lights on display too.

Bike looks fine from the front, fooked from the back, wheel is smashed in and lots of plastic broke plus brake lever bent etc., don't know how bad it actually is though?

https://i.imgur.com/vA24iOe.jpg

Police and ambulance attended and the guy admitted liability to the police so hopefully will be straightforward. Got a witness' name and phone number as well.

Insurance (MCE - TPFT!) lost all interest when I declined the hire bike, hopefully that's the right thing to do? Have had it recovered home (£120) and got a taxi in to work (kept receipt). What should I do next, looks like a fairly open-and-shut case?

Amazing thing is there's not a scratch on me. I'm sure I'll feel it in the morning, but I literally got up straight away and helped dragged the bike out of the road. Can't believe it, off to buy a lottery ticket.

Going about 30 on this road
Get to here and https://i.imgur.com/IXCKvhx.png Bam, a car outta nowhere, I put on my brake while going round the corner and slip on this shit https://i.imgur.com/eYw4XmN.png went down at about 10mph but the bike slipped and hit the underside of their freelander

No real damage to the bike, clutch leaver moved a bit, left mirror fixed, right mirror bit more wobbly than before. They have a small scratch on the underside of their plastic bumper but still wanted my name and number although said they probably won't need it.

[Rogerborg]

Needs paintshop to capture the moment when the Freelander teleported in "outta nowhere". Did it make a "whoomp" sound as it displaced the air while materialising?
