Road hazard in Plainlands.

bonester · Post by **bonester** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 9:15 pm

Be careful if travelling to Brisbane from Toowoomba, at Plainlands- just opposite the pub is half a big ceramic plumbing pipe sticking out of the bitumen- hit it the other day with my car (LH wheels) and I imagine it would be pretty tragic to hit it with a bike.....hope they fix that one soon! I guess it sticks out around 10-15cm.

Had a wierd thing happen tonight when leaving the servo after filling the GT- my foot brushed the fuel bowser fuel line- could have got caught in it- wonder how many people have been yanked off their bikes over the years from a bowser? Haven't thought of that one before.

Great warning mate, not that I would ride there but I am sure someone will

Thanks for the heads up.. Hopefully they will fix it before Easter. Which lane is it in?

It's in the lane heading towards Brisbane- single lane at that point, about 50-100m past the pub, just before you swing left to join the 4 lane wide bit again. Guess when they make it 4 lane there again (roadworks there at the mo) it will be in the right lane heading towards Toowoomba, if they don't fix it.

I can't believe you went through Plainlands and didn't stop at the pub...

Is it the bit after the lights? After woolys? Pub on the right?

Yup after woolies, lights and pub heading towards Brissie. Lights have gone now though.

Yup I haven't been to that pub for ages. It is a pearler. Great steaks too!

It will only flop if you're not getting a BJ

Update:
Problem fixed! I went to Plainlands today, to take some pics of the hazard, and I got talking to some roadworkers, who fixed the problem on the spot! Turns out it wasn't a pipe submerged in the bitumen- it was a brake shoe off a truck which must have fallen into the fresh tar. They just dug it out! Much safer!

Hopefully I will be able to post some pics. My usual host isn't working at the mo. Also got pics from my ZZR1100 and it's brush with roadworks in Brisbane a couple of years ago...
