Excuses!
Well when you've got your SS600 and thoroughly thrashed me, then I look forward to you showing me your consumate maneouvering skills .

Actually, I was behind a guy on a naked SV the other night who couldn't get through a gap because his bars were to wide, so I just slipped through on my 'Blade To be fair, I don't think they were the original bars.

Anyways, the geaser in the video is pretty good... Probably a courier for a living

You're right in that wider bars mean gaps are harder to negociate, but you just have to develop the sideways shuffle . It's surprising how adept you become at doing this (and also at how many cars fold their mirrors in when they realsie that you're going though come hell or high water ).
