Things you can only do on a bike and love!

[Raffles_Gentleman Thug]

Basically, every now and then I realise utterly how much I love owning a high-performance superbike.

Any Safety Nazis sod off now

THis is one of my favourite good-feeling moves on a bike. Pulling right onto a fast main road. No traffic coming towards you from the right, so you pull onto the right lane, speed up to the limit straight away, and snick into the traffic. Poetry in motion!

See pic for a rough idea of my lunacy!


Also I love pulling onto a duel carriageway/motorway and going straight from the slip lane into the fast lane at 100mph.

So much fun.

Anyone else want to share?

The first time I had ever heard of anyone doing this was going towards inverness and we had stopped at a junction before getting onto a long dual carriageway. Colin (cc123) proceeded to do that particular move...and I was gobsmacked. How cool I thought.

Colin - you remember that one?

If you're really lucky when you pull out the car drivers shit themselves slam on and you cause a 42 car pile up, bliss.

It was a joke fool, I've never been a safety nazi. Just today I went round the outside of 2 cars, 2 bikes and a coach on the cat and fiddle round a left hander, couldn't do that in a car.

Filtering, at speeds I shouldn't be doing when the road's clear .

[dansuresh]

did you just not contradict yourself or am i just imagining it?!?!!?

No, his first post was a joke.

Things I love and can only do on a bike: Ride my bike.

[Shaun]

You're a god G, I've have been trying and trying and no matter how hard I try I still can't filter when there's no traffic to filter past.

[Raffles_Gentleman Thug]

ooh i wanna learn that, do you just ride along the wrong side of the road? lol

He means filtering at 70mph in a 60 limit.

I find biking only starts to get fun when your doing double the speed limit

I like pulling out in front of speeding cars knowing they will dump themselves as they expect to go into the back of me, but as i can get up to speed quiker than 99% of other road users rather than going into the back of me i leave them behind.

Finding out that there is at least one rider in the world who goes round corners more slowly than me, and overtaking him even though his bike was much bigger than mine.....

Pulling onto a motorway/duel carrigeway and accelerating passed the car that wont move out of the way for you to join the road, priceless.

Boy racer sits on your ass

You slow down to annoy him

He gets annoyed and tries to go round you

When he draws level, slowly accelerate till he realises he wont over take

he'll get in behind you

repeat as necessary!

when you take a mates 125 cruiser out and get 10 mph more out of it, then he can (while he watches on another bike) and filter/overtake and do things he cvan't even imagine

being able to ride down the side of traffic queues to the front

cheeky undertaking on the motorway ( or constructive filtering as i like to call it!)

the look on peeps faces when they realise its a 'burd' on a bike bigger than a 125

Going out for a ride with my mate who's in his Toyota Supra 3litre twin-turbo, and being faster than him I'm glad we didn't come across any coppers that day!

I just love getting a roundabout just right.

In at a safe speed and then slowly winding up the speed till I exit just to nail the accelerator and hold it just under the red line till I hit 6th gear

I just love it.

I also love taking off from the light knowing that my sensible 600 commuter bike will obliterate just about any car cheaper than my house and all for 5k

As immature as it is, there is still no better feeling than beating mopeds off the lights.
