Hitting a pothole while on a curve = down for the count?

[HungPower]

In New York I was thinking of taking the souther state parkway to my classes but I realized that on a few of the sharper curves on the highway, some of the road is uneven and has some potholes also =\. Also there's like a bridge grate that's not straight neither and is on a slight curve so I'm kind of skeptical of whether or not I'm able to take these curves without busting my "O Ring". Is it possible to hit a slight curve at 60 miles and then hit a pothole and still maintain stability? I don't feel like killing myself on the way to school =\

You're saying those holes are completely unavoidable? If you can't go around them, then you enter the turn with extreme caution and a slower speed. Your question appears as if you plan on taking the turn the same as you would on a smooth path and obviously, you should know, that's not the case. You need to view the area ahead of you and adjust accordingly. And yes, it is possible to hit a pothole in a turn and maintain stability. But it also depends on the size of the pothole.

When you see the pot hole in the curve, you're going to want to straighten your bike. You don't want to hit that pot hole while you're leaned over. You shouldn treat the pothole like a piece of wood on the ground. Straighten the bike in reference to the obstacle, put your weight on the foot pegs, accelerate right when you get to the obstacle to take the weight off the front wheel and let off the throttle after the front gets over the obstacle to lighten the rear wheel.

The MSF BRC went oer this strategy.

As fars as the bridge, you just want to slow down and be easy on the controls and you should be fine.
