Aw crap Grinch, you're not having much luck at the moment. I've never liked that junction, stupid car drivers (and lorry drivers) never seem to know which lane to be in.

Hope you're OK and that the bikes not too bad.

Right, lets go over what happened then.

I filtered past a DHL lorry on my left coming out of nine elms lane and the lights changed, meaning the Royal mail lorry I was going to move past moved off. As I got next to him he started to move over, seeming to want to change lanes. I slowed and its at this point the DHL lorry clipped me and knocked me onto the right side. Not sure what got hit or where, but I felt it push me over.

Damage is - Antlers and tinsle is broken, have had to be removed.

Oh and the right mushroom is bent and scrapped, hand guard cracked, mirror broken, subframe for mirror mount bent. Screen and right side fairing cracked and bent, scrape on the can.

Note - Nine elms lane is where I got splatted by my bike.

You come up past Stockwell, right?

Why not continue up the A3 straight to Elephant and Castle, by-passing Vauxhall completely.

That takes you to London Bridge (as long as it hasn't fallen down that is)

If you want one of the bridges to the west of London Bridge, just head up towards Waterloo on the A23, past the Imperial War museum.

I might have to change the route that way... it just I only do it once a week, so once it was learnt I didn't have to think any more.
