To put the British pothole thing in perspective I will state the following.

I commute to work mostly on a Yamaha twist and go 125 scooter type abomination.

Something needs to be done about this. Mt ex wife is Californian so I have spent a lot of time out in the States. Man....your roads are like RACETRACKS! Our roads are like MOTOCROSS tracks!!! That's why I spent five years on a KTM Supermoto - to be honest the best machine for London road conditions.

London roads are the reason i have started commuting on a FMX 650 its slow but it can cope with the holes ... that and the full arrow system make loads of noise
