Advice is a dangerous game to get into. I remember receiving a PM from a member who has posted in this thread complimenting me on my bike (the previous one) and also on my lane-splitting as I went past them on the way to work that morning, confessing that they didn't like doing that. I responded by basically telling them to harden up and the lane-splitting will come with confidence.
Little did I know until actually having a decent chat with said biker some months later that they'd actually been riding for many many years, done some racing and didn't get into the lane-splitting game cos they were too sensible, unlike young(er) nutters like me!! Time to remove foot from mouth.
Sympathise with you on the receiving advice bit though, it's all good when they're giving advice you want to hear, but it can get a bit tiresome when people attempt to inflict their views of life the universe and everything on you. Hell, if everyone took my advice, learners would start on 600s with no numberplates and bad attitudes, stand-up wheelies would be tought on the CBTA Full course, and 1000cc sportsbikes would be compulsory for full licenses. Unfortunately that may result in a severe depletion of living and able riders.
