Like the title says...state of UK roads!!!!
As if motorcyclists need any more dangers! - we could do without the ever increasingly poor road surfaces, potholes, graveland debris, diesel, raised/sunken manhole covers & drain covers...

Pothole damage to R1200GS wheel by 'Davey'
http://www.r1200gs.me.uk/forum - Coming home from work one night (Feb2008) I hit either a huge pot hole or the lump of tarmac that had come out of it (or both) . Buckled front and back wheels and obviously blew out both tyres but somehow stayed upright. On investigation the pothole was 12" diameter and 6" deep, afew 5" diameter "boulders" were strewn around, probably broken up by the many wagons on that particular road. I feel very lucky to be in one piece!
