I was cruising down the Interstate (nice song) when behold! Immediately in front of me is a very large and about 2" deep pothole. :cussing: With typical Phoenix traffic I had nowhere to move around, nor could I safely done so even if I tried because of the close proximity and my cruising speed of "around70 mph".

I backed off the throtle a tad, held on tight and hit straight on. That manuever worked and I never lost control or swayed, but I think I at least partially blew the fork seal on my right fork.

I say "partially", because although I now have a nice film of oil on my right fork, there is no dripping or spurting when I do hit a rut or run over baby cats or anything. (Just kidding about the cats. I should have said pigeons).

ANYWAY.... Is it possible the big jolt and fork...

Hey All

Crossing fingers..
