Lane splitting (filtering)

[daemonoid]

While this is about California I'd be very surprised if the results of this study weren't broadly similar in the uk:

I hate the road vigilantes, there are a good number over here too. Even worse when I pop over to Germany - the number of ordinary citizens who try to enforce the speed limited sections of the autobahn!

I reckon that instead of the DfT spunking money on those "Think Bike, Think Biker" ads, that they should just leaflet every household with "Oi! Filtering is legal! Read your bloody highway code!"

Bloody hell; I stay the hell away from splitting on the motorway or any other time the traffic isn't pretty much stationary. Seen people do too many thick things too many times...

Not sure about the ageist stuff - I've had many a wannabe screaming the nuts off his scooter trying to keep up with the Zed in a 30 zone.
And whilst I filter more than when I was younger the days of flying down the M25 at 80 whilst everything else moves at 30 are long past.

its a sad fact that there are car drivers out there who actively seem to enjoy stopping motorbikes getting through a gap, deliberately moving closer to the white line etc, i have actually seen a few smug grins when they have done this to me in the past - really hard to stay calm.

"It'll be ignored, but the OTS issues the following advice to motorists on how to avoid hitting a biker while texting:"

surely it should be "dont text and drive, look for bikers instead you moronic 4 wheel driving prats!"

Strangely, since fitting ape hangers on my bike it's like the parting of the red sea. They all move over for me even if I'm happy to just stay in the flow. Loud straight pipes help, mind you.

A friend of mine once had one of those ex Rozzer white BMW's and rode it with a white helmet and a high vis, all blue bits off but left the luminous stripey bits on it, EVERYTHING always just moved over and of course I would duly follow in the wake! Lovely.

They're for making it clear that you're the sort of guy who doesn't give a damn how stupid you look, as long as people are looking at you.

I mean, not that you're the sort of guy who gives a damn about whether people are looking at you or not. Hey! Hey you over there! Look how much I don't care about you looking at me!

Medium Apes are fitted for comfort believe it or not. I like my bars to be just not quite as high as my shoulders.

Isn't a medium ape a chimpanzee
