just want to let all know if riding on the NSW south coast, there is a section of road just south of Tilba on the Princess Hwy & just before the Bermagui turn off onto Bermagui Rd that has claimed at least 6 bikes in the last 2 weeks [ that i know of]

the RTA has done a repair on a corner where they have coated cracks in road with tar. this section is approx 1m wide & is 50m long. it is on apex of RH corner & un rideable on on motorbike when road is wet. i hit it at 100kph [ & yes the road was damp] & i was down before i knew it.i have been riding motorbikes for nearly 30 years & this was my 1st accident. i had my wife on as pillion & we both slid approx 100m down the road. luckily no real injuries BUT bike is not so good.

 

Not down that way often, but thanks for the heads up mate 

Glad you and the missus are ok.

 

 

 

 Hey Gas,

know exactly the patch you are talkin about!.............Mate lost his springer on that very spot in the wet about 6 months ago!

Burto.

 Thanks for the heads up. Also happy you and your wife are good. 

 good to hear you and wife are ok .bike repairable?

Hi Softail, yeah mate bike is repairable. there is actually no paint damage. just pipes,foot pegs,air filter[ screamin eagle- saved the tank] indicators,mirror, rear brake pedal.

Gas, sorry to hear about the off mate. I've got the original pipes, pegs and airfilter off my FXDF if you need anything to get it going before the insurance comes through

thanks FTbob for the offer but alls ok. have just fitted a rear peg on the front & its still rideable.
after accident actually continued onto Eden & then Sunday rode from there to Cooma - Canberra & home.
now just sorting out insurance stuff.
Has anyone dealt with Insure my ride !!!
is a pain so far !!!

I will 2nd the 'get in touch with the RTA'  via a lawyer bit. There is no way you should be inconvenienced in any way because of non signed change of road surface like the one you have posted. Keep a record of all the time you spend on repairing the bike, including time waiting for 'insure my ride' to answer their phones, it is all claimable fromt he RTA.

Hi Lost
i have had legal advice on my accident. Sounds stupid but i have been told that because my wife & i were not seriously injured we have no case. But now that i have done the correct thing & reported road to RTA with phone calls & emails with pictures, if & when someone else comes off & gets hurt they will have a case. How f...ked is that !!
