I can se YC?s point that some of them are not as confident as him at filtering and therefore are holding him up a bit.

No, that is not the point at all.

Feel free to filter at whatever speed you want, ride what bike you want, wearing whatever kit you want. I'll take the pi$$, but you're a big boy and can deal with that

The thing which annoys me is the lack of a few seconds consideration to move over and let people through when its as obvious as a kick in the nuts that they want to pass you!

Don't care what people wear, what they ride or when they do it. Just mobile roadblocks leave me less than angelic.

Don't care how fast they filter..not the fastest myself... slow as you like has got to be better than too fast... just let people pass....



Now who wants the soapbox next?

A leather thong next time for me then .

Yes it is good manars to let someone past, but in slight defence if my mirrors are anything to go on, i can only see my elbows, i can see jack sh*t behind me on the Kwak.

Thing is, if your filtering through cars, and cars don't/can't move over for you, how are you gonna make room for a bike to filter through past you?

Just join traffic again for 5 seconds or so, there was bags of room to do that.

I slapped my head and said he was gonna look like a power ranger and he continued to say he'd bought a matching helmet gloves and boots......I told him he was going to look like the unknown 'bogey' ranger....he didn't look amused..lol

Kind of like this? Although those are our friends Maxy and Bogie...............and they CAN ride

Don't stop em looking like "Two frogs mating" though......

Lol. We were all on our way for a weekend away, and Maxy and Bogieshared a twin room. Seeing their leathers hanging up it was like his and hers............we never did figure out who was who's bitch though

I have read all thread far too much to go through.....

Yeah I was riding to the East End last friday night, yeah you can tell the people who don't normally ride alot or in the city. The guy on the bike in fromt of me was having really trouable filtering, I was going to a party so I was gunning to get there. So yeah its a bit annoying, I just went past when it was safe. Not saying I'm the best rider out there, but I learnt to ride in the city.

But I would rather see more bikes on the road, which is only a good thing.

I have worn my leathers 3 times this year twice on track and then when I test rode the ZX6. All my gear that I have now does match my bike, problem with that? I spent alot on bike gear, but know it would keep me safe and last.

Not sure if I wear my leathers to work, as its short journey. But everything else I will during the summer.
