God how I love these.. The Africa Twin just eats them up. no worries. Even makes me adopt a Paris Dakar Style half squat on the footpegs to aid the suspension

Speed humps don't work at all for bikes and depending upon the car they're mostly useless too. The only time they work is if you have a low sportscar.

On the bike however, they can be fun. Jumps of up to 5 metres can be had

Custard filled would be top. No more damage to low sportscars yet speed kept low. Awesome.
