That's why the Scrambler and Adventure Bikes make sense these days , forget 'occasional off-road use' they're for tackling the local main road !
Maybe we should all do a pot-hole video and make a 'Best of' compilation!
The Classic 350 has more ground clearance than the CL500 which I was not expecting.
Yes, a compilation 😁😂😂 thanks DJ 😁
Morning TAYM, There's actually potholes on the bloody motorway near me in Stockport!
And the road surfaces in general lately are getting more rippled from from the weight and torque reaction from the lard arse EV'S!
As for the councils country wide ,as part of their war on the motorised road user , they're deliberately not repairing the roads to put us off using them!
Cheers Mel 🍻
Yes, no roads are immune and the EV’s are going to be a real problem 😡 thanks Mel 😁
I never ride near the curb,i was taught to dominate my part of the road either be in the middle of the lane or be three quarters to the right.
Me too. Staying in the curb side of the road just incentives the cars to try to do overtakes because they think there's plenty of space. Dirt, grime, water and all that other stuff also has a tendency to gather in the curb side of the lane rather than near the middle of the road.
Sometimes you have little choice , usually trying to avoid another pothole 😁 the camera distorts the distance too 😁 that really big one is in the tyre line of cars fir instance 😁 a lot of the roads are only one or one and a half car widths so when a car comes the other way you end up too far left😁 it’s a mine field with the middle bit covered in mud and gravel 😁 thanks C 😁
Hi TAYM yes i see your point, i ride with a RE group and some of the roads they travel along are those tiny country lanes with broccoli growing down the middle.Keep safe.@@TAYM
@@user-qd6cs6rv2d thanks C 😁
They don`t care about dangerous pot holes, BUT YOU DARE DO 34 MPH IN A 30 ZONE
😂😂😂
82mph was me on matchless. Trouble is I was stuck in 2nd.
Seriously I used to ride for fun occasionally in the dark but I Don.t anymore .Easy to miss one of those and it's potentially fatal. Even worse on a pushbike.
😁😁
Thanks Charlie 😁
We are in a sorry state are we not. It's the same story all over the country. Years of underfunding everything and massively in debt. What a state we are in. Where do we start to put things right? I wish I had an answer.
Move to France?
Oh, can't do that anymore.🤔
Good job TAYM.
I'd like to see a huge increase in the number of citizens aware of their
council taking on massive debt (as posted on, above).
It is beyond outrageous that this small number of people
can take on such onerous terms, on such vast sums,
with no public consultation whatsoever!
Along with root and branch overhaul of our entire political system,
2 immediate issues must be raised, and fought -
--- the democratic deficit needs to be corrected
and -
-- in light of the absence of public consultation, retrospective
Law must be demanded - which makes these contracts
illegal.
(better yet, make the signatories responsible for the Debt!)
Of course, central government does the bidding of The City
(and Washington DC...), but there must surely be
sufficient public outrage to make this blatant corruption
untenable!
The missing element is public awareness.
Joel Benjamin's work will still be available on the www, somewhere.
But I only discovered it because of my interest in Economics,
and tendency to look to specialist/non mainstream
sources....
How many people have the inclination/time to do that?
Not many, probably....
Mirrors the Cladding saga.... Another conflict of interests
'story' -- so many MPs being landlords.
I fear we're be living in a Dickensian hell hole before
public anger bubbles over...
😂😂😂 yes, though I have seen some dodgy French roads too 😂😂 thanks ST 😁
My Council Tax bill has hit my door mat this week and at 2900 quid I feel utterly had. The burden of tax has never been higher and the standard of public service never been lower. The roads in East Sussex are equally terrible and you're right.....people are at risk of getting killed.
I encourage everyone to ask their LA how much of their
CT is being directed to servicing debt.
Joel Benjamin's work on this issue is both important, and deeply
worrying.
Read my posts above, if you're interested.
West sussex too
Maddening isn’t it 😕 thanks Marcus 😁
This is why adventure bikes are so popular.
Yep 😁 thanks Rich 😁
Hi , great that you highlighted this problem, someone needs to. It’s everywhere. On my journey through london if I miss one it knocks my back teeth out. Well done you.
Yes, god knows what the long term effect on vehicles is with the constant hammer they take😡 thanks Mike 😁
We have some bad roads here, but nothing with holes that deep. But even a 3 inch deep hole is jarring when you hit it.
Thanks 2WV 😁
Makes you wonder how - in these modern times they can’t build a durable road surface ?! Sadly though - how many poor souls have come a cropper on a hole 😨 On a lighter note, the camper had a vindaloo last night 😂
Great vid Mr. TAYM, we need to highlight this issue a lot more 👏
Yes, the campervan 😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😁 thanks Stuart 😁
Crikey that one in front of the grate was frightening..! All this bad weather isn’t helping but the roads have been getting worse for years. No idea what the answer is as money and resources are stretched very thinly. 👍
We have the money, it's just being spent on the wrong things. The Government are currently spending £8million per day unnecessarily on one project which could be spent on the roads.
Thanks Foxy 😁 yes, it’s a problem 😁
😮😮😮😮 I thought the swedish roads were terrible…. I’ll take back that thought! Jeeeessss! Ride safe Taym🏍️🏍️
😂😂 thanks Lilian 😁
Roads are the same here in Lancashire. The patch repairs that are carried out are useless and are back to potholes in a matter of weeks.
Absolutely 😁 thanks MH 😁
Over here in West Northants, it's very bad, too.. one repair only lasted 1 day.
Particularly infuriating, given the last shower of **** running the
council gifted themselves £6million in bonuses!
It’s just a joke isn’t it 😕 thanks Al😁
The roads will have less damage and fewer potholes and much better for bikers when everyone is driving evs which are about 400 kg heavier....oh hang on😮
😂😂😂 thanks DT 😁
I didn't think roads could be as bad or worse as they are in New York or Pennsylvania but seems they are even worse in Suffolk! I no longer ride at night as the roads are simply too unsafe, miss seeing a deep pothole on a bike and it may not end well. We're taxed to near death but our infastructure is falling apart and local governments simply shrug and say "we've got no money" 😦
Yes, riding at night is now a game of Russian roulette 😁 thanks SW 😁
Good to highlight the potholes. Roads are just so bad these days. They resurfaced a main A road near us recently then put up a huge sign saying it was part of the "Levelling up" project. Locals tore them apart on social media as all they did was maintain the road as they should have and they tried to tell us it was something extra!! Must be election time........
Love a backfire! You don't get them much these days.
Yes, the campervan just about finished it off nicely 😂😂😂 thanks S 😁
Got to be carefull Mr Taym even on some of the motorways have top surface missing never mind the A roads and we pay £111 pound road tax for a motorbike.
Ride safe and keep them videos coming.😊
We have a free health system in NZ 🇳🇿 & cause Motorcyclists are hit by cars 80% of the time here Motorcyclists are penalized.
They put the price of Bike Registration up 8yrs ago from $200 to $800 per bike😲🤯🤬 & there was a outcry & convoy of bikes to Government house & doing burnouts on the steps & pitched tents ⛺ etc.Next day the Minister walked out to abuse & announced price to be reduced from $800 to $500 a year per bike🤯.It's like we're being persecuted paying that much when a car is only $120 a year.People with more than 1 bike put their other bikes on hold & won't ride them & take off hold when ride them.Cost $5 to put on hold.Pay $525 a year to hit gravel 3inches deep on a blind bend & end up in hospital for 2 months.When the Road works was run by Government roads were better now it's all privatised & they bid for contract the roads are worse.$525 a year in low wages country😲🤯🤬🤬🤬.
@@ruahinesrider In the UK, our NHS has been subject to
corporate intrigue/take over for a long time now.
The Media do an appalling job of covering the issue...
Hardly anyone knows the head of NHS-England - Sir Simon Stevens -
is linked to United Health...
Guard your health care well!
John Pilger did a great documentary on this -
The Dirty War on the NHS --- still available on his website.
Thanks Steve 😁
Have a thought for poor old Push Bikes,
I see they often have to dive off to the middle of the road !, So give them some room ?. Cheers Bill.
Thanks Bill 😁
It’s terrible for potholes around where I live. I’ve seen some that would definitely throw you off the bike if you hit them at the wrong angle.
It’s such a problem that I recently got a crf300l and now I just sail over everything. But still I would love to have a small sport bike too, but I think it’s too risky for me on these roads.
I feel like getting something similar 😁 it’s the only answer 😁 thanks KT 😁
Sounds like that van got it's ignition wet. Probably was submerged in that crater lake. 😎
😂😂😂 thanks KT 😁
When I lived on Barry Island in the 60s I used to fly around all the roads and lanes on my BSA - C11G and never had to even think about bad roads- I can’t even imagine having to deal with what you are living with -I have noticed several times when watching your videos you dodging holes and having to swerve at the same time an oncoming vehicle 😮and the same is happening now in certain parts of the US as the money is being diverted to pay for illegal aliens upkeep- Ride safe
And as always
Regards from Florida
Yes, misdirection of funds 🤔 thanks John 😁
So true 😢 I can't imagine what would happen if you was riding at night, unacceptable really, they don't mind sending the gritters out when it's not even gonna freeze 😢😔👍🏍🇬🇧
Odd isn’t it 🤔 thanks KT 😁
Where I come from in Boston the roads are deplorable like that.
Then I moved to N Carolina and almost every road is like a pool table.
It makes you wonder if part of the A14 reconstruction scheme will include rebuilding the secondary roads being used now as alternate routes.
I'd say no.
Be careful.
Let’s hope so 😁 thanks JT 😁
More Holy than righteous those roads TAYM! it's shocking that councils pay so little concern for the safety of road users especially motorcyclists.
😂😂😂 thanks MM 😁
Should spray paint bright yellow sign paint around all these dangerous ones so people notice them
At the very least 😁 thanks S😁
Wouldn’t see it in the dark or when full of rain water, sadly.
I hope it doesn't take someone getting killed in a head on collision avoiding a pot hole on a bend before the councils get their finger out, although its probably already happened somewhere.
Thanks Loki 😁
Wow! it's really quite frightening looking at these potholes, Local bike meets are starting up again now and I have to say the roads aren't ready for us to be out in the dark yet. You can go slow and avoid them most of the time during the daylight but at night and especially in the rain we have no chance.
Thanks Paul 😁 absolutely terrifying if you think about it too long 😁
We have to fix the potholes in front of our properties. Buying the “hot mix” and using a gas torch is expensive. Last fall one of my neighbors brought a crew and truck and fixed a bunch of holes in the neighborhood after work one night. He is the hero of the neighborhood. Problem is now holes are beginning on either side of the repairs.
I wish we’d just go back to gravel. 😂 (Not really but it’s frustrating.)
😂😂😂 thanks PW 😁
Same here in Wiltshire.
Terrible isn’t it 😁 thanks 😁
That mutter was deep and full of holes...
I cannot find any giraffes, if the new TAYM challenge is deepest pothole that should be an easy one, I have been out reporting them so they can't say they don't know about them.
Thanks S😁
We are so poor in QLD we dream of having only that many potholes in our roads...(apologies to Monty Python...again.)
😂😂😂😂 thanks DT 😁
Theyve had the same issue here in Denmark this year because the vinter frost was pretty rough on the roads. They've been good with doing "emergency patching" with filling the worst potholes with asphalt and putting up signs warning of them, but I think they are waiting for better weather before they make a serious effort at fixing the roads up.
No, I don’t either 😂 thanks Sun😁
Morning Taym I read the other day that if all the council's worked constantly fixing all the potholes in the UK it would take 11 and a half years before they finished costing £16 billion plus😮!!!!
The Government are currently spending just under £3 Billion per year on housing asylum seekers. The money is there it's just being spent on the wrong things.
I can well imagine it 🤔 thanks B 😁
At least we don’t have to ride the road of bones for an adventure ride, just a quick spin around the block will do these days especially if you throw in a flood or 2 😊
😂😂😂 true 😂😂 thanks Alan 😁
This is a result of a lack of road maintenance funding over a long period of time. The state of the roads will, I have no doubt, reflected in accident statistics that cost lives and also money.
Absolutely 😁 thanks Dave 😁
I wonder how many people ponder on the Economics, central government policy,
and local government-central government 'interface', in relation to the state of
roads, and indeed so many other facets of civic 'life'.
A few years back now, an excellent investigative journalist - Joel Benjamin,
researched and reported on local authority borrowing.
He found out various councils had taken on MASSIVE debt,
at interest rates contrary to market norms -
Market norms being --
The safer the risk -
The larger the sum - ---- the LOWER the interest demanded.
The LA borrowing was for VAST sums, and you can't get much safer
a 'bet' than local government.
However, this was not the only worrying aspect --- he found that the
contracts underpinning these deals had another common feature -
NDC - non disclosure clause -- which makes looking into these
deals very difficult.
Particularly for ordinary citizens.
So, that's your first factor.
The other glaring concern in this, has been the Financial Sector's shift
away from mere 'Lobbying' to getting their representatives into
'high office' directly.
We can look at the case of Sunak -- who is known to have links
with Goldman Sachs;
In Sanjid Javid's case, it's J P Morgan (incidentally,
the bank which is known for its key role in the creation of the
Federal Reserve, in the USA);
Camoron ...
We can go on, and on...................
You don't have to have a degree in Economics to draw the
dots between these different factors.
Banks and financiers make their money from Lending
(and Bank charges, playing the Stock Market with other people's money.... and so on)
If we're cynical, we might conclude that Austerity was used as a lever to
generate the need in LAs to borrow this massive debt, and
very high interest.
The NDC being essential to protect both the identity of the lenders
who are making a killing, and the corrupt shysters in local gov.
- who, we might envisage, were/are getting some sort of
'kick back' for playing their role.
We can see where the pertinent policy set will lead to - as the
USA (from where Western economic policy as a whole
stems, not just as it has infected the UK, but also across
Europe and other parts of the world) is
still farther down the Neo-liberal 'road' (pun intended) than
the UK is.... In the USA the roads are falling apart, bridges
are collapsing, and railway accidents are happening......
It's grim, dangerous, and more deaths are sadly inevitable.
There, and eventually here, too.
The wider context, in terms of the reality of modern
Economics.
To start with, lets deal with the myth which London politicians
and their allies in the Media reiterate ad nauseum.
The State DOES NOT need to budget like domestic house-hold does.
The latter can only rely on what wages, or pensions, are coming in.
What a family might be able to sell, or what debts can be taken on.
The State is in a wholly different situation -
as it can CREATE MONEY!
In our Age, money creation is largely digital.
Yes, paper money is still made, but the macro levels of spending
done by Central Gov. are done digitally.
By pressing buttons on a keyboard.
Now, in recent decades, the Banks have been afforded the
power to CREATE money, which they do in the form of
debt.
In the same way -- pressing buttons on a keyboard.
Viewed in this context, the gargantuan profits banks make
from lending are cast into a new light.
As are repossessions!
This must surely be the mother of all 'con' jobs.
People across the world service their Debt with very real
labour, and time.
Whilst the money generate by banks is in reality
entirely ethereal.
Strangely, this never gets covered by any of the banks'
swish advertisements!
Hi taym I thought the government supposed to be putting millions into potholes to get the local councils to repair them that VIP bus I had I had to put a claim in for wheel and suspension damage took six months to win my case against them nearly £2000 worth of damage.
It’s all over the Uk some say it’s cheaper for people to claim against the local authorities then resurfacing them 👍🏍️
It’s about time something was done about it 😡😁 thanks Derek 😁
In a lot of your videos you go over a roundabout with new houses nearby. The roundabout approach and itself has a trench of potholes. I assume it's a new roundabout for the housing estate so is new as well. If that is the case why is it already full of potholes? I saw on Kent Live today a woman driving in the rain and dark hit a pothole near Maidstone which took out her nearside front tyre, alloy wheel and bumper!!
Yes, that’s horrendous 😡 the whole place is littered 😁 thanks SC😁
Those roads are the worst I have seen, ride safe Mr TAYM
Thanks John 😁
On a serious note, where does all the road tax money go ? I
Surely the Highways dept/councils should do a risk assessment on the condition our roads. Don't they owe a duty of care to all road users, and therefore put up hazard warning signs or even close the roads accordingly.
To pay the discounts on EVs I reckon 😂😂 thanks NC 😁
But the daffodils were very nice 😂😂. Looking from afar, I hate to say it and I don't just mean potholes, but the UK is fast qualifying for third world status in many ways. Would I ever move back? Let me think...... er.....NO! Not if I have a choice. That shoot 'em up camper van was exciting 🤣🤣.
You are not wrong Gap. I have comments from all around the world sympathising with me having to ride on these roads.
😂😂😂😂 thanks GBD 😁
Nah Taym they were shooting at ya did it make ya feel more like a Yank...... all jokes aside but yeah marvelous.
😂😂😂😂 thanks Jay 😁
@@TAYM you're welcome I have bacon photos for you....... lmfao
Councils will have worked out that it's cheaper to settle insurance claims, than fix the road.
A distinct possibility 😁 a death costs them very little 🤔 a paralysis is quite expensive though but still probably cheaper for them 😁 thanks B 😁
@@TAYM Half a dozen bloke's wages and pensions, plus maintenance of the plant and materials, as well as inconvenience to other road users from temporary lights, multiplied by a few thousand miles of public highway... versus the occasional biker going over the bars when his/her front wheel gets caught in a gulley on the riding line.. do the math, as they say. Biker injuries are a no-brainer. Literally.
English roads resemble Edam Cheese currently.
😂😂😂 thanks Dave 😁
Can anyone tell me why there is endless amounts of tar to build speed bumps but none to fill holes?
😂😂😂😂 excellent question 😂😂😂 thanks Steve 😁
Gee, that's disgusting. Here, they spray paint the worse ones and put up a hazard sign instead of fixing them. The worst is when they chip the road without out repairing it and the chip lifts, and it's worse than pot holes. A problem the world over. 🤔🤨
Absolutely 😁 thanks Ian 😁 hope you are well 😁
You should send that video to Suffolk county council,some of them potholes would definitely kill a motorcyclist,and would definitely destroy a cars alloy wheel,think that camper vans in for an expensive repair,at least they can make some tea while awaiting recovery.😜
Hopefully they will see it 😁 thanks BM 😁 yes the camper finished it off nicely 😂😂😂
Good video on pot holes in a third world country?. Also a way of 20 mile speed limits. Roads are not fit for purpose. . Keep up the good work Taym.
Thanks Norman 😁
A terrible state of affairs Mr Taym! There's a really bad one near where I live in Tasmania and I've had enough! I'm sick of waiting so I'm going to the hardware shop and buying some cement so I can fill it in myself.
It’s so wrong isn’t it 😕😁 thanks Felix 😁
👍👍🏍
Thanks Paul 😁
The irony is that if a Motorcyclist hits one of these potholes and ends up permanently paralysed and successfully sues the council for negligence they will have to find millions in compensation to fund his/her future care. The same millions that could've been used to repair the roads in the first place.
True, but it costs them little if we die 🤔 thanks Ed 😁
Well if this doesn't comvince people that they want us ALL off the road and penned in our 15 minute gettoes then nothing will.
Absolutely 😂😂😂 thanks Paul 😁
Stay safe please, we are used to these in Canada, maybe its a export business…….in all seriousness though, these are deadly traps.
Absolutely 😁 thanks P😁
Flipping Eck Taym, I'm not going to call our potholes ever again 82 mph. What an absolute nutter I hope they throw away the key 🤨
Yes, that’s why we are stuck with 20 🙄 what a pillock 😂😂 thanks AR 😁
Horrendous 😡 Great video highlighting an issue that seems to be UK wide
Thanks Willie 😁
Lots of those in my area and along my commute😮 advantage of riding a bike at least we have options to try and avoid the. But cars, not so much… bone crushing if you hit one on the bike 😢😢
Thanks TR 😁 yes, seen them in your latest video 😁
@@TAYM thanks for watching. I appreciate it! Happy Friday 🎉🎉
the state of the roads is the worst I've ever seen them. I made a video touching on this a few weeks ago but didn't do anything with it. The repairs they do never last long, water gets in and it all starts again.
Thanks Ice 😁 you should get it published 😁
I actually do often find them worse in an auto as with the bike one has only one row of wheels and thus you already have the opportunity to miss half of the potholes. But, yes, one has to really keep a close eye on the surfaces.
Thanks Iron 😁
Looks like Royal Enfield developed the 350 series with our roads in mind
😂😂😂😂 absolutely 😂😂 thanks Alex😁
Crikey, that's dreadful. I can only imagine how dangerous that would be in the dark!
Absolutely 😱 thanks LB 😁
Long story long! 30 years ago I hit a large pot hole on the right side of my car that damaged my car on both wheels on a busy road. Many vehicles had the same outcome for over a week. So I went to the city, they told me to go to the county. No one wanted to take responsibility. Told me they had an amout of time to fix it after it was reported. No one is responsible other then the driver. A motorcycle would have been seriously injured on that pothole. So I spoke to one city person that explained it to me the way I look at things now. Pothole, damages car, car needs fixing, fixing is money that creates taxs and cities get income. He told me this long understanding how not fixing stuff creates new revenue for local Town and cities. I see life a little different then most, but when people can step back and understand the workings of industry, you can see how revenue can and is generated by this way of thinking. I could right a small book to further explain this theory. Thank you for addressing the signage. Fully understand the reason for tripod temporary signs now. Thank you
Thanks LoY 😁 love the latest shed 😁
Good afternoon TAYM i am sure i saw a pothole in a pothole on that trip you did.
😂😂😂 thanks KJ 😁
l thought that was the council shooting at you to stop you filming the disgusting roads 😂
😂😂😂😂 me too 😂😂😂
Absolutely unbelievable TAYM yet all of us watching this are shrugging and saying "so what......its exactly the same here where I live" - thats assuming you live in the UK.
But it doesn't have to be like that....just across the water, the Irish Republic has wonderful roads and although I have not ridden in Spain, apparently there are no potholes there.
Its like everything else in this effing country, things have been allowed to sink (in this case literally) to a point where an annual patch up doesn't work anymore. Like the NHS and the appalling mess in our schools, our infrastructure may take a generation or more to be resolved, I fear.
Do you remember the old days when we used to laugh at Skodas and Ladas and the potholed roads in Eastern Europe? In truth it was all bollocks.....it never was like that over there but now the Poles, Czechs and Hungarians have seen what we have here, it is US who are the laughing stocks of Europe. 🤬 😡 😳 🤬
Embarrassing isn’t it 😕 thanks Rob 😁
@@TAYM I hope it goes without saying that you have supplied this footage to the local council and maybe your MP - a waste of time I know but.....
@@RobLittleuk 😂😂😂 it just goes in the spam 😂
Hate to stay it your road surfaces are much much better than we have in Cheshire east although yours are bad. It’s all part of there plan to get us off the road.They need the money for hotel rooms!
Thanks Paul 😁 I can only imagine 😁
Blimey some of those holes are horrendous, I’m on the south east tip and we’ve got potholes but I’ve not seen any that compare to yours
Thanks GCK 😁
Pot holes are a universal problem no matter what country you’re in! Rural roads are the worst but according to a UK friend if the country had concentrated on water runoff years ago the present problems might have been relieved. What’s your take on it?
I don’t know about else where but round here it is mainly caused by the excess traffic because of the A14 road works and the ridiculous number of new houses being built with proper planning 🤔 thanks MP 😁
Believe or not, Bedford and Bedfordshire genuinely is worse than that
I can believe it 😁 thanks Boris 😁
Excellent video, yes I think Great Britain it's not even Little Britain. I remember listening to the radio some time ago, that there was a guy who went about with a tin of spray. This guy sprayed a penis and balls where he located potholes. At least you got a visual warning where the potholes are and have a laugh at the same time 😂😂😂
😂😂😂excellent idea 😂😂😂 thanks Nigel 😁
I hope you have reported them to your local authority. I implore everyone to report any pothole to your local authorities. By doing so, anyone having a mishap caused by a pothole has a better chance of claiming for damages. Don’t assume that someone has already reported it.
Exactly 😁 thanks Bill 😁
Please get your viewers to submit pictures of the worse potholes giving location and most importantly the local councils name to shame them into doing something about this "plague" on our routes. Just out of curiosity ask your local council how many road inspectors they have and under the "freedom of informaion act" ask your local council what they have as a budget for potholes and what is their spend this year. Stay safe everyone. That is all Old Bloke.
I shall 😁 thanks Old Bloke 😁
That is very dangerous, in my country we have a phone app were you can report those problems. Lethal faults in the road
Here in the Uk, we also have a system whereby we can report these craters. The councils then totally ignore the complaints, and do nothing. 🤬
Similar for many of the Councils in the UK - mine has even finally integrated "What3Words" making it easier to give a location.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield that is disturbing....
i am afraid it would be a mighty busy app here in the uk now , the phone lines would burn up ;;
Need that hear😁 the satnav can do it so should be easy enough 😁 thanks WB 😁
Holy crap Batman those potholes are going to be Robin some poor unsuspecting soul of their life for sure. The roads everywhere in this country are an absolute disgrace. As soon as I saw that campervan I thought " Crikey that's got to be the oldest camper in the world". Seems like it only survived a few seconds after that and has now gone to campervan heaven 🙏😇 having shot itself 😱😂
😂😂😂 thanks GW 😁 Dance? 😁
The roads are a disgrace. In Hampshire and West Sussex you have to weave all over the road to avoid them, in the rain you have no idea if it’s just a puddle or a pot hole.
More motorcyclists will get hurt, it will be blamed on motorcyclists and not the road conditions. Then we will face more legislation.
Thanks Mr Mutter. I've heard we will now be fined in the UK if we are seen weaving around potholes, deemed as dangerous driving!! Please tell me this is not true!!
The world has gone mad!!
Absolutely 😁 thanks F😁
I would like to say it’s not true but not sure I can 😂😂😂 thanks Peter 😁
Are you sure you don't have a gnome infestation in the UK? They seem to be digging underground homes all over your roads! 😂😂😂

That’s about it 😂😂 thanks Mike 😁
don,t fix the pot holes but happy to take a big wage home every month, nothing but dead beats,
Thanks Colin 😁
Just to say road tax doesnt exist that's why cyclists pay for the roads too through general council tax.
At the end was those gunshots his tyres popping?
😂😂😂 thanks Steve 😁
It makes my blood boil. We get charged more and more in council tax and road fund licence etc. And for this we get less & less in return. It seems that no one in any council is capable of negotiating a contract so costs of over runs have to be paid by us. Nothing ever comes in on time and under budget and it is starting to look like a third world country. We'll be having a tour by itchy boots soon 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 even itchy wouldn’t venture in some of these roads 😂😂 thanks Mike 😁
Morning Mr TAYM, I wrote a lengthy comment on here, but it has gone……I wonder why ? Perhaps such a scathing review on local councils/highways isn’t permitted anymore, maybe free speech and personal opinions have eventually been banned 🤬 Perhaps my explanation of what I suggest doing with the local council fat cats sitting in their ivory towers, was unacceptable for RUclips 😂
RUclips 🙄 we are constantly watched 😂😂😂 thanks Ian 😁
I wonder if councils have a legal responsibility if these pot holes are dangerous for motorcyclists which they are. Does it take someone on a motorbike to be seriously injured or worse before they fix the roads . We pay road tax for them to look after roads so no excuse. And what about central government they to have a responsibility for safety of roads. The roads never used to be so bad and we are still a rich country so what are they up to?
Morning Donna, some councils (Cheshire East), employ a specialist firm in Ipswich to fight all claims for damage. Imagine how much that must cost 🤬
I think they are if notified 😁 thanks MsD😁
Morning TAYM, while the government are spending £8 million a day housing asylum seekers and giving themselves a pay rise the money has to come from somewhere and that’s the cash cow known as motorists and I bet the road tax will go up especially as EV vehicles are heavier and so damage the roads even more!
They’re not asylum seekers. They’re invaders.
Range Rover damn sight heavier than an EV!

Scrambler and adventure bikes bollocks, you should look up to figure out why you have pot holes, it's a effing tory problem, this year put your vote where it counts.
It’s certainly going to be an interesting year 😁 thanks Andy 😁
Just as bad here "Down Under"
Yes, it’s worse than Covid and could kill more 😁 thanks Jeff 😁
Don`t forget there is an election this year ??
Absolutely 😁 thanks Will 😁
Country can't afford to pay for the roads when we have to pay for every man in the world to stay in hotels. Ukraine. Etc.
I understand that strange worldly problem. But that has something to do with our fake governments ruled by other forces. We need a different channel for that.
Rather have the potholes than the bomb craters in Ukraine..!
You really shouldn’t believe all that you read in the British press you are going to become more and more bitter through your own ignorance. The hotel story is a sham, the buildings the migrants in were not the sort of hotel you might go on holiday to with bars, restaurants and swimming pools, they were buildings with rooms full of beds. Basic accommodation. Using those buildings was the most efficient way to house people. The barge cost many times more per person and as for the Wanda scam… Do yourself a favour, do some proper research and learn the facts.
😂😂😂 thanks Joe 😁
😁
Herts and Essex just as bad. Roads are an absolute disgrace and not fit for purpose.
Yes, it’s an epidemic 😁 thanks Pete😁
My answer to this is every motorist should boycott road tax. Can they seize every m/cycle and car and van/ lorry. It needs cohesion like the french farmers. Maybe then when the billions they raise would alter their mind. On my scooter with small wheels it is a nightmare and serious injury may occur. I wont rifde at night at all
Something needs to happen for sure 😁 thanks Volt 😁
Absolutely disgusting i have been watching your videos for a long time now i call it killer roads the country should held accountable for deaths and injury and damaged cosr to vehicles 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I have to agree 😁 thanks Frank 😁
As Crocodile Dundee famously said, that’s not a pothole… This is a pothole!!…. Unfortunately you will have to visit my part of the woods for proper proof. ( Southern Victoria, Australia). Ride safe, mind the pothole 🙄👍🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 thanks S😁
2 hours, 24 minutes, 16 seconds… equals 827th methinks 🤔🙄🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 thanks S😁
I look for potholes to ride over with my Tiger! Please don't fill them! 🫣😄 Although I avoid the long narrow ones like at 4:00.
Yes, they grab you 😱 thanks max 😁
