    But if you squeeze your way to the front at lights you kind of have to take off like a bat out of a hell to not get smushed by the cars behind you. Just have to pay attention to find red light runners rather than just see green and go.

    But it's such a benefit of being on a bike, you can squeeze right up to the front and make it places sooo much faster than the cars.

    Just got to have your wits about you and never split past a veyron.

    Though after only riding for 4 months maybe I'm being a bit too over confident...

    There's nothing worse than squeezing up front between a couple of boi racers.

    I've seen some interesting chit go down, a bike jammed between 2 cars & all going hell for leather

    Some of those turbo'd jappas (esp. wrx's) are pretty damn fast !

    Right there is a good argument for riding a liter bike or a newer 600. NO boy racers can stay with them unless they are packing a carbon fiber monocoque shell and about 800bhp...

    I had a chap in his brand new WRX thinking he had a chance. It was at a 90 degree turn before entering a motorway onramp (the Tristram road onramp going south). I tootled gently around the corner, after which he was about 40 meters ahead. I then blew past him so fast he nearly got out and checked to see if his car had broken down....
    but only until teh speed limit...
