Do you just go for it - or hold your breath when you go down?

[ManDownUnder]

that gap between two trucks when you're filtering through traffic.

I find I hold my breath - just by reflex...

You?

[Keystone19]

Yeah, found I held my breath this morning when a large ridge in the seal appeared just as a large B-train decided to shift toward me...

Had visions of losing the front wheel on the ridge and sliding into/under the truck...

Lucky...

[Sniper]

Yea, holding my breath and holding my tongue in that funny good luck way. You know what I mean

Now with that title I did wonder about what I was gonna read from you this morning.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bugjuice]

sometimes I hold my breath, but if it's really too bad, I tell her to go have a shower and come back

as for going thru traffic, I make myself breath calmly. The slower you can make everything around you go, the more control you can maintain. Plus the more reaction/thinking/adrenalin etc you can muster for when you need it most.. I guess it increases the reaction/error margin slightly

[Eurygnomes]

Yesterday I held my breath between two STATIONARY buses...and then when through thought to myself (and said out loud in my helmet), "well, Nomes, let's not do that again in a hurry okay?", "Okay!").

And haven't since.

i just go for it :devil2:

[Flyingpony]

Breathe relaxed at all times. Only hold my breath under heavy brakes.

Never filter between moving traffic and if they're trucks/buses, make 100% sure they're still going to be stantionary till after I've emerged out in front of them.

As for traffic don't get into a situation you can't see a way out of.

[chickenfunkstar]

Squeezing my sholders together is another good one which I do quite often.
(not that it makes any difference to you being able to fit or not)

[Beemer]

I've been known to hold my breath - accompanied by a slight tightening of certain muscles close to the seat of my pants!

[Motoracer]

Speaking in terms of lane splitting in traffic, its simple. My brain calculates the risks in a mathematical format in my subconscious. After that I don't have to worry about a thing. I either blast through there or I don't. Nothing to think about or to hold your breath over really.. Whenever I stop to think, I always get myself into trouble.

[Grizz]

I've never been too keen filtering between trucks, normally I will wait for a reasonable gap, I always worry what happens if they drift together. What I find hardest though is keeping the concentration level up, last night the North Western was choked and I pretty much filtered from the southern link to TeAtatu, I had to keep refocusing as all the cars blended into one and that is travelling at between 40 -50km's. Anyone else find this?

[mstriumph]

what he said .......... except i can get myself into trouble irrespective of whether or not i stop the think :motu: ...... its a gift mebbe .........

i never second guess myself.. fear is the mind-killer

[bkrwench]

usually make them shower first

generally breathe normally only suck it up if it gets close

This song?

I love myself
I want you to love me
When I'm feeling down
I want you above me
I search myself
I want you to find me
I forget myself
I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You're the one who makes me happy honey
You're the sun who makes me shine
When you're around I'm always laughing
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes
And see you before me
Think I would die
If you were to ignore me
A fool could see
Just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I want you
I don't want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah
