Oops. :lol


I'm sure you know what you did wrong... obviously 60mph would have been excessive in the dry, let alone in conditions like that. It looks very much like a 30mph zone, so I hope no police are watching.


Apart from speed, your road positioning wasn't ideal. The centre of the lane usually has slightly less grip than the bits to the left and right where the car tracks run. The middle accumulates a greasy layer from leaking sumps and truck differential gearboxes. It's not a hard and fast rule... on roads that haven't been resurfaced in a long while those zones become slightly sunken and can have a greater depth of water... in frosty conditions the warmth of passing vehicle engines can thaw the centre out first, it's all part of "reading the road". In this case I'd have said positioning closer to the crown of the road should have given you a little more grip and, as it was a left hand bend, a slightly better view. It would have also given the car driver a fraction more opportunity to spot you before he pulled out.

Jesus man, were you alright?


I fractured my hip a couple of years ago at 40 mph. I did go over the top of the bars though.

Just out of curiosity did that cage driver drive off or did they stop and see if you we're ok?

I tell ya wat fella they must make em tough in Rotherham, you one looker foccer I can't understand why the front just washes out more or less in a straight line, you brake heavy but there was no skid just washed straight out unless one caliper ain't working 100% as per the other causing the front to twist under hard braking than it would wash out !

mine did that. straight line, damp conditions 15 mph. some stupid bitch opened her car door, i brake & the front just went. snapped the ball of the top of the humerus! :thumbdown

to top it all the bitch looked at me, jumps back in her car & f*cked off & left me in the middle of the road! >:

good to see you werent to badly hurt.

He stopped I took his details. Looked at the footage and took it no further because I was speeding. Lesson learned.

Glad you were ok from it and learnt a valuable lesson that we can all learn from. At least he did stop to see if u were ok as I know I had a similar spill when I used to ride a scooter and the guy just drove off!

is that bruising on your legs? how did that happen?


Bruising on the whole leg top to bottom. Happened in June and the knee is still swollen and filled with hot stinging fluid. Had it drained by injection about 6 times, had 5 steriod injections in the knee and i'm still swallowing anti-inflamatries for the last 7 months.


Some twat lost his rubbish load off his trailer in the middle of the road....about 5 bags of it in total. There was huge 2 foot metal canisters in some the bag. I was behind about 4 cars so my vision was impaired up ahead as to what was coming. Every car drove over the rubbish because in was in the middle of the road and didn't really effect them. No hazzards or warnings from the cagers ahead. Hadn't a ghost of a chance of avoiding them when they appeared from under the last car in front of me. The front stepped out and I belly splashed straight onto the tarmac like the wrestlers King Kong Bundy and Big Daddy.  Cudn't find who was responsible & insurance will only cover bike damage. My injuries & expenses has costed me about two grand to date. But I guess one can be thankful that i'm above ground and still breathing.

that was unluckly lad. fierce looking bruising. think that's probably happened to everyone at least once where something pops out from under a car that you weren't expecting and all you have time to do is say to yourself oh fook! and then wack
