Accidents on Archway Road

this week there was an accident between two cars and a yellow honda cbr600 ambulance on scene - what looked like bike overtaking on crosses - so I would say biker @ fault.

but what i wanted to say is that last week there was also another accident, what looked like a honda deauville gold/grey, also ambulance on scene.

as some of you may know that this road has a bus lane, and it a two way road, where cars cross over to turn into a side road.

well anyway, a car turned right across the traffic, and did not l@@k before continuing and the bike plowed straight into the side, after applying brakes and leaving about 10m skidmarks on the road trying to stop.

so a word of warning, that road is getting hazardous to your health, if you are traveling down that bus lane, slow down as you are coming to side roads, as the cars edge out without looking, and you also get kind car drivers letting cars pass thru to turn into said side road also, and they don't look.

don't be another statistic!

if you see me, i'm the nutter on a white sv650 plowing down the road.

I think that's the main problem with being allowed into the bus lanes.

We've had at least one organ on here who this very thing happened to.

I was riding near Delamear forest the other week and nearly had an off because of the bleeming horse ****e on the roads! Wonder if you could actually ring the police and get these horse riders sued?!

I was only doing 20 mph as i didn't know the roads and i was weary of all the dung around there but coming around the corner, see a massive pile of crap... think hit it and i'm off or countersteer around it and then run the risk of running the corner which i did. Bleeming learner car comes around the corner and luckily slowed down enough in time for me to swing the bike back in...

sorry mr learner driver to give you such a fright!!

word to wise, avoid those roads!! Only been riding since September 2010 but rode throughout the winter in the snow/wind/rain which taught me my bike quite well enough that I could throw it back into my side of the road.

That would be me then...

Yeah I rode past that one, looked nasty and I had a near miss there with a Bus pulling out (saved by loud can!), same road this morning nearly had a 4 bike pile up due to similar with some **** cage doing an illegal U without looking and lots of heavy breaking all round.

keep safe all.

Hmm white bike...do you have an Irridium visor? if so I think I pass you fairly regularly (going other way) on a Yellow TT thats been involuntarily street fightered by some **** who reversed over it while it was parked , i'll wave next time just in case =p
