[QUOTE=If it's only at rush hour, is any of the traffic going 70 mph+ at that time? If everyone's crawling along at 40 then you don't have the same problems. Or, like has been suggested, try a different route if there is one.[/QUOTE]

It's very slow traffic from my house to the M3, very slow traffic from junction 3 to the M25 junction and then fast clear motorway until i leave the M3 at Sunbury. From there past Hampton Court until work the traffic is barely moving.
I'll check google maps for another route.
I think when i get back from Vegas (woo hoo) i'll get myself on a 125 and give it a go. If it feels in any way unsafe or i get the hump i'll get another SV, cry at the insurance costs and tell the missus to get her own bloody bike
