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.

Here in the great NE US after this winter I have some holes for you Bic ,, a ruler just won't do it bro,, the holes are deadly,, three weeks ago I cracked a rim on me Vee-Vo and of course a flat, next day they filled it , but now it's a foot wider in all directions and I would say six inches deeper , (about 10 -12 inches now) thought of the same recourse as you but here it would take until next year at this time at least not like So. Cal. , this year will be a slow first ride out to find those killer holes,,,gonna have to ride her like a MX bike, keep a light front end fer sur,,,,

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
