Fashionably late.
I have to say commuting on the Southern M/Way the cars are most accomodating when I'm filtering through. If I have time to wave and continue splitting I do, but sometimes your concentration is on forethought.
Most of my anger comes from other bikers :/

That biker on the cream coloured Virago flew past again this morning. Most bikers are splitting well apart from two I worry about. The Virago rider is an accident waiting to happen, but there's another on a small scooter who can only reach about 80km/h max, but barely slows when he starts splitting.

Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

Why worry about any person but yourself ? Would seem it is their problem not yours if they crash...Originally Posted by Edbear

I do worry about other's, and if they crash into me, it's definitely my problem otherwise the problem of whoever they crash into. No accident ever only affects one person. Most times, I may think someone is going a bit quicker than I would be comfortable with, but these guys are really over the top with the speed differential between themselves and surrounding traffic. The Virago rider is the fastest splitter I've ever witnessed by a large margin, and I've seen some fairly quickish guys at times.

its just something you get used driving on the AKl motorway and i have done it for the last 18 years and it still astounds me how bad some are.
like cars there's good riders and bad but you have to look out for them all because you can't tell which is which. and we can all have a bad day.

funny this should come up, I'd been thinking about posting something similar after seeing a few people splitting horrendously fast/dangerously. I've seen a guy on a yellow cbr250 a couple of times now - I'll see him way in the distance one minute, then he's right up on my arse (following *really* close), and before I've even half moved out of the way he'll be overtaking me - then continues along through the traffic at a good 50-60km/h faster than the cars. Every day he goes past I half expect to see him 10 mins later on the road, in a world of hurt.

Yes Ed I know what your saying, towed a tralier ( behind bike) along at 2k's and hour heading to a rally, 'buggar' stuck in the traffick had the wife on the back, some splitting would go past at warp speed, and my reaction was FUCK ME for at any time we moved and they were in the wrong place at the wrong time at that speed....Well..
