sore bum
 
so i'm driving up whitehall towards trafalger square on my way to work this morning. there's a few guys preparing to do some roadworks or something - they've laid cables accross the road, encased in one of those black strip things so vehicles can drive over. except this particular black strip thing is massive - at least 3 inches high! and i didn't see it until it was a foot in front of me, at about 45mph...

*bang*! i got thrown right up out of my seat! ouch. serves me right for going a little bit too fast, i guess. hope the bike's alright. on the plus side, at least i wasn't the only one - this guy on an old suzuki something did exactly the same thing, about 2 yards in front of me!

I rode across a scaffold pole that some idiot had left in the road. It was at about 30 degrees across the road so I didn't hit it square on. Front tyre bounced over it, rear tyre slid sideways as it ran it over :shock: :shock: :shock: Brown trouser moment!

I know the spot
The other day it was covering a green hose pipe that is being used to clean one of the statues in the middle of Whitehall. Luckily I was stopped at the lights and noticed this, so took it really careful as it is a pretty big obstacle. The hero next to me tried to wheelie over it :lol: He was on an Africa Twin, but even so he did come back to earth with one hell of a bump :shock:

I thought I'd run over a kitten a few weeks ago :shock: . Something cat-shaped bounced into the road in front of me and there was no way I could miss it so over it I went and i felt awful... Then I saw it in the road behind me after having a huge wobble and it was a stuffed toy...
