Yes we all know they are in a pretty dire state in most parts of the UK.

This afternoon I went out on the Him along some roads I had not travelled since last year, they really have deteriorated.

A lot more pot holes, and in some places subsidance.

In many places it is not so much pot holes, it's the surface that has deterioated / worn away leaving it horribly uneven.

All I can say is that I am glad I took the Him. Certainly will not be taking any of the other bikes along those roads.

It is quite an effective way of keeping your speed down, unless you own one of the modern tanks which think they are cars - dosent seem to slow them down.
