I remember many years ago seeing an R1 neatly "parked" upright in the armco barrier immediately after where that twisty slip road joins the M11. No sign of a rider, it was just there with its front wheel jammed in the central reservation.
It’s hideous if not dangerous in my opinion. I thought the M1/A50 southbound turning was bad but that was a WTF moment.
surreal - i remember a similar one where two lanes were shut at the Cobham exit on the A3 because a BMW motorcycle had rammed the back of a Rolls Royce can't remember which model Silver Shadow/Carmargue era. Similar view, the bike was wedged into the Roller boot, hard but upright, no sign of either driver. I never found any further news details.
Coincidentally I lost a front tyre on my car to a pothole about a mile from that spot on Thursday afternoon
In a younger, more irresponsible part of my life the M1/A50 junction was a favourite knee down location
