WTF Happened Here? Black IRO, Essex Rd, Destroyed!

Its most likely been scraped under a vehicle on the road. Too much damage to be hit by a trailer whilst chained up, and that kerb bollard would have done its job. Lock looks untouched, so must have been locked post-accident. Lets hope the riders okay. Having no front brake wont help any claims.

velocity boy [quote]TheBrick(Tommy) That looks horrific. Hope it whoever it is has not been hurt badly (or at all ideally).

Maybe this? http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/662/?Focus=5202#Comment_5202

The locations are about 1.5 miles out.

I'm really hoping this was an accident that happened to a bike, not to a person.[/quote]

Point did not really make a not of the locations.

xroads Having no front brake wont help any claims.

why on earth would you drag this shit up! next you'll say he was RLJ-ing!

actually, it won't be a problem with iro. insurance may be a bit different, but iro don't care.

That bike has been under a vehicle.

Looks like the front wheel was run over whilst pointed at right angles to the bike. I guess you have to hope that who ever it was that was on it (IYSWIM) wasn't on it or near it when it got mashed.

Def not the same guy as reported over at MT, tho.

@Todd - I wouldn't call it the Angel though. It's strictly Essex Rd aka Packington/Popham territory.

True.
It get's much quieter up that end and is a different area. Crime seems to spread all the way up to Angel though.
Also..barnsbury (liverpool road) and surrounding areas are as equally dangerous...though there's some amazing houses £££ around too.
I've seen gangs carrying tools especially for bike theft. Seen a white van (stopped by police) full of bikes! Kids running down the road with saddle and a wheel...
Nuts!

lol. Essex Road, what a laugh! I had a group of about 15 little shits chasing after me a year or so ago. They came riding towards me on the wrong side of the road. One of them was actually wheeling ride at me. I swerved past them called them all a bunch of little cnuts. Next thing I knew. Had a whole posse chasing me home down Englefield Road. Lucky I'm quick otherwise I would have been in serious shit. Yep best to watch out round there.

that bike is fucked up

Buffalo Bill That bike has been under a vehicle.

my thoughts too.

hope the rider is OK

F _ _ _
hope the rider is ok
i have never seen a bike in that kind of condition before

any iotas who it was yet or wtf happened??

i dunno it might be alright with a bit of a polish.

Superprecise i dunno it might be alright with a bit of a polish.

don't think a polish alone will do it...
might need a bit of gaffa tape as well.
and what does it have to do with poland anyway?

Buffalo Bill Def not the same guy as reported over at MT, tho.

what happened to erffi? didn't know him well but worked with him at dest.

Even the fucking bb/crank arm has snapped off!

Hopefully the rider is ok. The only thing he will be able to recover from that disaster is the Thompson Stem.

i recon you could rescue the goldtec rear.

I went past this on the way home and had a very good look at it.
It has definitely been under a vehicle. Hopefully, the person riding it was ok enough to lock, or get someone else to lock it up when they went to hospital or whatever. Thats what I am assuming has happened. Its in a very bad state. just hope the rider was ok..

foookin ell! Ive seen bikes that have been run over but nothing like that. But sod the bike, I hope the owner is ok!

its a messengers bike (or was), he's ok, managed to walk away with a fucked foot. lucky. not sure of the details but must be gutted about his ride.

?????????

Glad to hear the owner is in better shape than his bike.
I stopped by to have a look as I live near there. The whole thing is totalled. Even the rear hub has been crushed.

redrum its a messengers bike (or was), he's ok, managed to walk away with a fucked foot. lucky. not sure of the details but must be gutted about his ride.

He is one lucky SOB, good news, any more details? How bad is the foot?

Thats good news... that was a total mess, i bet he feels happy to of walked, or hobbled, away!

that's good to hear. i noticed the crankarm had busted off. that's one lucky rider if he/she hobbled away from that.
