Problem: I like filtering

I've overtaken quite a bit of traffic going uphill in the snow with the back wheel spinning freely. Giggled all the way up the hill.

Same but on ice my back wheel span like mad, although i did stop to change my underwear i thought was pretty cool after.

Plowsie,ya not alone, i love filtering down the A45 in the mornings.

filtering i think is way more fun than a dual carriage way. i filter every morning and afternoon going to and from work and love it. i overtake other bikers who decide not to filter through, then they start to follow me. i act like a snow plough through traffic. have had quite a few close one though. i get back home and think " oh my god i really shouldt do that". but then, next morning, happens all again!
i have altered the gearing to 14 - 47, and it is perfect for around town and nipping through traffic. out of lights as well is very fun.

snow wise, i prefered it on the motorcross. done it a couple of times ont he sv but dont really want to risk loosing control with the power behind the wheel of the sv compared to a little 250 motorcrosser

I went through a bit in Kingsthorpe last night and it was very tight, but i got myself trapped so i had to go through the middle of traffic going my way, instead of in between oncoming traffic and traffic my way. Just folded in the mirrors and tootled along.

Blisworth?

Lovely tunnel.

You could filter a double decker bus through the approach to that roundabout so I can see why you'd have no problems on the SV It does get rather busy there, I didn't know it got to 4 miles queues though. I get on at 15A to avoid it, though I'm early enough that the traffic isn't too bad anyway.

What time do you go through there? I guess it's well after me but if it's not I might get the CG out and come play some time

I like the image of folding the mirrors in, tho' I'd rather hit something with them than anything else.

To add to my earlier post, or rather clarify it. I do like a bit of filtering, but i wouldn't want to do miles of it all the time. It's just too dangerous and tiring. So the 10+ miles people are talking of would be pushing the scales of risk vs reward. Not to say I woudln't do it, but that I'd take it easy. I like filtering in traffic jams on motorways and stuff. I refuse to got to Cambridge on the A14 to visit friends on 4 wheels. All three of my bikes have done that trip.

Oh and I went to school in Roade!

Wow - I managed to post a post after you before you according to the times on the posts. Guess that'll be the server clock reset thingy some peeps have talked about. Might go read abotu that now.
