I don't know how else you would handle pot holes beside trying to avoid/ride around them.

Got tons of them here and large bumps in bridge seams. Only thing you can do is avoid them, cause riding over them can be quite unsettling especially if leaned over.

They're one reason I have a hard time looking through a turn on an unknown road. Driving so long in a cage trying to avoid them has made me more of a "rally" driver compared to a "road course" driver.

Learning to stay in a position that puts your weight on your legs instead of sitting in the seat - Race Style - helps the bike to take a bump, but it does put a strain on the legs overtime.
