I laugh at potholes ...

.... and flooded fords. But not the combination of both. Oh the indignity of
it - the bike toppling over in about a foot of water as I hit the mother of
all potholes - and then my boots filling up as I wrestled the thing upright.
**** it. A good day ruined.

Not much damage though - a couple of scratches on the fairing and a sick
looking rear brake lever.

 

Sue the local authority wankers...

Check yer front tyre very carefully too.

 

Utterly pointless unless someone has already made them aware of it AIUI.

Utter weevilshite.

they have a duty of care. One caused major damage to my car years ago,
deep pothole at a left hand sweeping junction which you could not see. I
got paid out no bother.

The roads are shocking at the minute, potholes & gravel wash out everywhere.

Instead of opening fucking 'one stop shops' for fucking immigrants to
learn to speak fucking English, sort the roads out.

 

The tyre's ok - I wasn't doing any speed 'cos I didn't know how deep the
water was.

 

Those RS's topple quite well don't they.
Mine fell over outside my house due to side stand fuckwittery, only a
slight scuff to the fairing and a snapped lever.

 

Yeah, whatever Nige.

The operative words there being 'years ago'

orly? We've got a claim going through at the moment. Three effing wheels
done in in one day. Two on one car, one on the other, same pot hole. By
the time we found out and went back to photo the hole, it had all been
filled in.

All our council have done is sent us an insurance claim form to fill in,
which we have done.

Prace bets.

 

So, having fucked a wheel once by driving into this pothole, you then
did it twice more?

WTFF?

To make sure you'd got the right one?

Sounds like you should be sectioned, rather than compensated.

 

Well, someone else who shall not be mentioned was driving one car, and
managed to hit the hole with both wheels on one side. I was with #1
stepdaughter who is still learning and she managed to do in just the
front one in another car. It was only when we compared notes several
days later we realised we'd hit the same hole.

 

Yeah, let me know. It should be interesting.

Odds on a Section 58?

Yeah, because people were moaning that the roads weren't gritted when we
had a bit of a cold snap.

It all comes out of our pockets in the end though, so that's OK.

 

Which diverts funds from fixing the potholes.

 

It's a strange way of getting them fixed but sometimes it seems that the
roads only start to get fixed once the bean counters realise that
filling the hole might be cheaper than the lawyers bills.

 

Round here the council have got a new toy. It looks a little like a
small drain vacuum but instead it 'plops' little cowpats of new tarmac
into the hole. The dozy operators were out in the wet the other day and
were not drying out the hole before putting in the new black stuff. I'll
give it a week before it needs doing again.
