Seems to be alot of gravel roads around at the moment, on the way from torquay to shaldon and also newton to plymouth past hele golf course. Bloody dangerous if you ask me.

Sorry to hear about your knee, wirst and bike mate, hope it's not too costly!

bad luck mate hope the bike's not too expensive to fix

Don't suffer in silence ... If the wrists and knee don't feel better quick make sure you get it checked out at the hospital

So unlucky! Several times recently i've felt my bike drifting on corners/roundabouts. Bloddy gravel!

Cheers funky, I'll keep those in mind

Unlucky mate ...

They're covering all the roads round here with bloody gravel, half a mind to complain to council, saying how dangerous it is for bikes.

they resurfaced the ashburton road out of newton last week too, thats still a bit gritty

Sorry to hear of your off

I hope you (and the bike) mend soon

Sounds like a f*cking opposition to me, you'd think "They" have it in for bikers...
