  • today i went passed lexton golf club in colchester and coming out of the entrance was a biker with his big bag of clubs over his shoulder and they were hanging over the right side. it looked really dodgy to me . and he was filtering traffic because he passed us , i tried to get a photo but he was to quick.

Providing it doesn't interfere with his range of movement/vehicle control - then I don't see a problem...

... unless he was riding without taking into account the additional width and bouncing the bag down the sides of cars as he filtered that is! ;)

I ride with a pair of crutches across my back using a shoulder strap - OK, not the same bulk as a bag of golf clubs but a similar length I s'pose - that said, the panniers on my Varadero are wider still so they give me more concern when filtering. :roll:

Well in the past I have ridden to Bisley with a couple of rifles in soft cases over my shoulder and a couple of handguns bungied to the back seat. And in the not too distant past have travelled to the pit with a couple of swords/axes/maces strapped ove a shoulder wi a chain shirt and seat bungied down too :P

Prolly not legal if pushed through the courts but it works !

Yeah, this makes me wonder what are the rules regarding carrying things like that?

I have been known to ride with a bokken strapped to my back and recently a broom handle shoved down my boot. And both did restrict my movement a bit...

Chain shirt? Thats probably better than any bike gear in a slide!
