Significant potholes have developed over the last few weeks on a bend off the main M6 junct 1 island leading to Rugby.
I was riding my motorcycle towards work and - even though I had registered the potholes in my car - I failed to remember their location whilst on the bike!
I hit the first one close into the inside kerb (the natural line for a bike) which shook the bike severely and then whilst trying to maintain control I hit the second a few yards further on, only luck prevented me from ending up in the road...
Suffice to say the experience was not very pleasant - especially as I had 'boy racers' right up my backside waiting to mow me down if I came off.
It should be noted that there is also a severe deterioration of the carriageway, ruts are developing which could catch out the unwary bike rider.
