I had a feeling when I hit that hole the wheel probably bent. The dirt road that leads to my driveway is smoother than the busted up paved roads leading to it. In all honesty living here I shouldn't even have a road motorcycle, dual sport or adventure bike only. I sold my little sports car a couple years ago for the very same reason. I'd have thought being that close to London your roads would be well maintained?
No car is as fun to drive as any motorcycle is to ride.
