Where was it Brian, could you post up a streetview link so that I can log that one as one to be cautious of after heavy rain?

It was on the A3124, approaching the A3072 near North Tawton. Nothing special, just a typical bend on a typical lesser A road in Debbun. Google gives a postcode EX20 2BE and the grid reference is 50.785695,-3.892765.

Re: Morning Ride Out Saturday 15th August
I came down that road in the car on Thursday afternoon and it was like a forest rally stage.
Lots of flooding and gravel and stones everywhere. It's a cracking road normally but bloody awful like that as there are tall hedges all along it

Re: Morning Ride Out Saturday 15th August
Not seen or heard anything from Roy since this ride and have to say quite worried about him.
Has anybody spoken to him is he OK? did the arm get better or worse? Fingers crossed your doing ok Roy

All you who have got banged up know that sometimes you can get the start of delayed shock set in even a couple of days after the prang. Not saying it's that but either way, Get well Roy.

The gravel was almost impossible to avoid unless using other lane. With my crystal ball that's where I'll go next time.

I believe to be successful with that you would need to prove they have an inadequate system for monitoring and maintaining that stretch of road.tony volusia wrote: ↑Aug 19th, '20, 15:14 the state of that road i wonder if you could put a claim in against the highways dept

Re: Morning Ride Out Saturday 15th August
Just spoke to His Royness at Bandit Towers. All is well bar being a little stiff and tender in all the wrong places. The tractor - sorry, Bandit - will be resurrected in plenty of time for Brian's ptember 6th rideout, as will he.

Re: Morning Ride Out Saturday 15th August
glad to hear both well on the way back to normal service soon
Re: Morning Ride Out Saturday 15th August
I might try and make this so I can see what ingenuity Roy has employed to fix the battle bus.
I'm thinking extensive use of cable ties, bits of wire and maybe bits of random plastic taped over the broken bits
