Update the morning after:

It was the Tesco roundabout on the A127 in southend, next to the big RBS.
There was a line of diesel looking more like something had ****ed it out rather than dropped it from a smash.

It was rush hour so I didn't get a chance to take any pictures of it, despite trying. I went back at about 11am and couldn't really see much, I assume the amount of traffic going threw had spread it around much more.

I know that there are lorries coming down the A127 for southend/shoebury and obviously the tankers for the fuelling station in tesco + their stock. Plus, as you probably know John, is a notorious roundabout for being a bit greasy anyway.

On a happier note, I wont £100 playing poker last night and I'm going to see top gear live today. :D

"I'm glad I don't drive around in one of those dangerous car things very much,there just so vulnerable,they should be banned."

Do I detect a change of attitude regarding the four wheel mode of transport?;)
Vulnerable they may be but even with there vunerability they tend to stay upright more than a motorbike.

Above is a urine extraction,glad to hear your OK and I will speak later regarding details of your PM.

Aslong as your okay Dave, so you selling up I see.

Has it shaken you up that bad?

Re: Tarmac/Bike interfaces should be avoided at all cost...
 

It's not just the accident. A few things over the past month or so have bothered me about biking. It's also a cost.

I'm likely to take a year off, and then start doing some track days only.
This is all assuming I can liv without being on the road.

Sorry to hear about your off Dave. Hope you and the bike mend soon.

Sold my bike a month ago, it's killing me not having it and i'm counting the minutes 'til april when i can afford to replace it :-( Road riding may not be ideal, but its a very difficult thing to give up, think carefully! xxx

You'll still be expected to attend my BBQ next year, even if it means you arrive in the car. You can't get out of stuffing your face with blue cheese burgers that easily.

Re: Tarmac/Bike interfaces should be avoided at all cost...
 

blue cheese burgers, :cool::cool::cool: funky coloured food :D

sorry to read about your off dave, any interest in the bike yet?

Re: Tarmac/Bike interfaces should be avoided at all cost...
 

None as of yet.

And Clare, nothing could keep me away :)
