He was cautioned but the Police told me they issued him a 21 day notice to get it fixed. It was a council pool car he was driving so I'm not sure what happens there/next. Presumably the council are at fault for unroadworthy car.

In my opinion the whole road over dukes pass need to be redone and not just patches here and there.

Yes mate...the ambulance had me checked out at the scene. Yes again...it's the new cafe. It was about 100 yards further on. The road as you can see from the photo is pretty bad. The photo doesn't do it justice though.

I do and yes it could have been a lot worse. The paramedic is a biker and he said from what had happened I did very well under the circumstances.
My phone was smashed up but my wife (bless her) came and took me back to take some photos on her mobile - see below. They're not the best but you can just see where the road broke up (arrow). The black mark you see nearer the entrance to the layby isn't a tyre skid - its the mark the black crash bung left on the road.
I wanted to get back on the bike right away but it wasn't rideable but I was still dizzy for a while afterwards so not a good idea.
I'm still pretty sore today. I'm desperate to get back out asap so it doesn't affect my confidence.
