[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 35368, member: 60"] Yes The discussions on potholes is not that far off the subject, on a smooth track the standard Vincent suspension with a little application of hydraulics works well our Comet (and I suspect davidd as well) will lay over till everything scrapes and the alphabet twin with its superior (compared to girdralics) Bramptons is the same. But the roads nowadays are far far worse that the 1950's its no wonder modern bikes need a step ladder to climb on to them. Our local Mayor (yes we have one!) at a public meeting when I complained about local potholes famously called them "Natures little road calmers"! [/QUOTE]
