Am really pleased with myself today. Was home earlier than expected and as the weather was so nice I decided to go for a litttle ride on my bike
![]() Got stuck in a huge Q of traffic and normally sit there moving in the same Q as the cars as have not been confident to filter unless I am following another biker. Well today I went for it and filtered all on my own ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Cool, good for you. Does feel good when you can get round all that traffic. I tend to give it plenty of revs so everyone can hear you coming.

Excellent stuff
![]() ![]() I remmber the first time i decided to filter on my SV, i was a bit nervous but the more you do it, the more comfortable you become and the more relaxed you are, so you are able to spot dangers more Keep up the steady progress ![]() Ooo, amanda said keeping revs up - thats good, also dont be afraid to use your horn to alert drivers to your presence ![]() |

yup, well done mate
![]() just keep your wits about you when doing it, cars have a nasty habit of changing lanes without looking. if someone is behind you filtering too, don't feel pressured to go too fast, just do your own thing and pull into a slot to let them past as soon as it is safe. |

Well done Storm.
![]() As has already been said, always exercise extra caution as road users will change lanes or veer over without warning. Great feeling though, when you get to the head of the queue and are able to blast off. ![]() |
