Haha, could'nt resist on the title, sorry.
Serious note, with such small and narrow wheels, I simply can't go around them like I can in a car. My area is absolutely full of road humps, sleeping police men call them what you want they are the blight of London. Are there any special precautions to take apart from taking it slow over them, or are they going to eventually absolutely wreck my suspension no matter what?
Cheers!

Round here most of them come in pairs side by side so if you can aim for the middle between them it doesn't hurt as much.The only way to avoid them altogether is to drive on the pavement,but I get told off a bit for that.  |

We get mountains of dead foxes, a lot of badgers, plenty of rabbits, not many hedgehogs & all within the M.25 plus "sleeping policeman" & too many cameras to shake a stick at. Oh, & deer as well to scare the life out of you when they leap onto the road. Plus Gypsy horses, A.13 closed on Monday due to them wandering about on the dual carriageway.
It`s a nightmare living in the big city with all the wildlife, you country bumpkins don`t know how lucky you are.
I forgot the pheasants too. My mate makes lovely road kill pies with pheasant,squirrel,rabbit,pigeon & anything else edible.
I`ve got two young foxes living in the scaffold stored at the bottom of my garden just to cap it all.
Derek.

Asslow as possible especially in a Bambi otherwise youre forever picking up all the stuff thrown out of the cupboards. The van also suffers from the same problem although the Wagon R does go over then a little better but not much |

It probably completely buggers my suspension and tyres, but I find the most comfortable approach is to go over them at around 30!

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving probably wasn't meant for you.
