Ok so just watched it....

Have to agree, apart from the use of the hard-shoulder and the wheelie looked OK to me.

A week ago I might have said different - but then a week ago I didn't have over 300 motorway bike miles under my belt. (although in my history as a cage driver I have done tens of thousands).

M1 seemed to have average speeds of (in order of lanes) 65, 85, 95.

I ended up bopping between the left and centre lanes, mainly because it was less boring to have to match speeds and change lanes - once or twice I had to go to the outside - and match/exceed those speeds - basically I was watching so far ahead and looking for situations to develop then making sure that if they did, then I wouldn't be anywhere near the - ie a lorry in the slow lane indicating to overtake a slower lorry - well you just know that the cars in front in the middle lane will eventually decide to over take that, causing the fast moving stuff to slow down.

I found I very quickly got used to speed - and with other vehicles as your frame of reference, its EASY for your speed to creep up.

Also being on a vehicle that HAS such ready acceleration, and is infinatly maneouverable (compared to a car) things that seem simple and safe from behind a visor, look like idiotic behavior to someone who has never ridden.
