A chum has had a 1927 AJS 350cc H4 for around ten years which has been off the road for a few years for a complete engine rebuild after the c/case was busted by the shock force when the bike ran over a pothole

Says something about the state of our roads when it survived the unmade roads and tracks of the 20s & 30s only to be wrecked by our modern engineered roadways nearly a hundred years later.......

[Monty_Pyton accent="Yorkshire"] You had roads, ohhh how posh of you, when I were a lad we only had a dirt track...[/Monty_Python]

Roads are a lot better than they were in the past, the problem is we go faster than we did back then and the difference between a good road and a rubbish road is quite a change and you can get that over a 1-mile ride.
