Could I have the shirt please...

Re: Could I have the shirt please...
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. |
Re: Could I have the shirt please...
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. |

your not hurt though? |
Re: Could I have the shirt please...
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. |

Your a liability and a danger to other road users. I think I'm going to raise a petition to ban you from riding.
PS GWS you big plum. |

Re: Could I have the shirt please...
Need to report it to the police later and get the CCTV footage in case I need it.

Re: Could I have the shirt please...
Have to say that after nearly 32 yrs of trucking experience, Royal mail and DHL are possibly the worst two outfits on the road, royal mail seem to be law unto themselves and DHL have got too big too quick and dont seem to have reliable drivers, mind you I work for wincantons so I cant talk :confused: GWS.
