| Some shots after a minor "off" at 60 on the A2. On my CB500 in the cente lane, I clipped a cable hanging down from the overhead gantry. Bike sent into a wobble and we eventually parted company, sliding down towards the M25 junction.
Ambulance, Police and Highways Agency all called to the scene. Me and the bike both a bit bruised, but my protective clothing all held up (huge hole in the arm of my jacket). Thankfully, nobody seriously injured but I suspect I might be a bit sore for a few days. Oh, and the bike started first time after I'd stood it up. You gotta love the Honda CB500!! |
Think a new exhaust can may be needed 648x486 bike_accident_1.jpg |
No, it's not a specially shortened racing break lever, it snapped off 648x486 bike_accident_10.jpg |
Yep, a new can will probably be needed... 648x486 bike_accident_11.jpg |
... and probably will need a new cover on there 648x486 bike_accident_12.jpg |
Considering it stopped so quickly on its side, there's not too much damage 648x486 bike_accident_2.jpg |
Scratched cheek plate. Probably won't be able to get a new one of those in a hurry 648x486 bike_accident_3.jpg |
Think the cable probably hit the wing mirror for it to end up that way round 648x486 bike_accident_4.jpg |
Direction of travel, East to West. Bike in the distance by the central barrier, skidmarks diagonally left to right 648x486 bike_accident_5.jpg |
The cable I hit, hanging down from the gantry 486x648 bike_accident_6.jpg |
The coil of cable laying in the road, and tied off to a traffic cone by the police officer on scene. 648x486 bike_accident_7.jpg |
Think I might need a new tyre if this much of it is left on the A2 648x486 bike_accident_8.jpg |
Looking back towards the point of impact 648x486 bike_accident_9.jpg |
