    She's OK blacksheep, sorry for being so pedantic. I've been involved with the petitioning of the QLD Govt to introduce the NSW lane splitting legislation so have been keeping a close eye on it.

    Something else they're changing at the same time is the old rules said that you had to keep both feet on the pegs when moving and always face the front. They've removed that, and some other silly little regulations, as they recognise that bike riders need to stretch their legs and turn their heads to look over their shoulder. So it's been quite a change in attitude towards bike riders. These changes actually came about after a Govt organised online questionnaire in response to the petitioning over the lane splitting issue.

    Stop thinking about lines, knees, flags, or any thing race related for fuck sakes.

    Bike control. The ability to understand and react to the machine on which we sit. The mechanics of it, and manipulating them to achieve desired results.

    To be fair though, he made a valid point afterwards, did you?

    You don't learn advanced bike control just by riding on the roads everyday. It's kinda like teaching newbies to drive, you stick them in a paddock with a hack and let them get the mechanical aspects down, before letting em loose on the road with other traffic and hazards. You learn best at a specific thing in exclusion of other things which take up your attention, and better learning is less required attention... it's a nice cycle really. One which doesn't require a track of course, but does require a similarly safe place to push said limits.

    So Drew... What do you suggest we learn? Your comments suggest that practically no one you have seen on the road understand what's going on with their bikes. So what do you suggest?

    It's early so I'm not completely with it. But let's start with some basics. Using the throttle to balance a bike when you're turning.

    To get off the brakes when cornering going down hill.

    That a slide isn't a reason to panic...nor is coming in a bit hot.

    Simple stuff for some, but not the majority. Just yesterday I watched a learner rider mount a round about because she hasn't been taught that her CBR250 is gonna tip in very quickly if you throttle off in first gear.

    I don't expect people to be trained to level of motogp like control, but there are more bad riders than good.

    Your old man does look like a bit of a pedo too, which explains so much.

    Well Craig Foss is out.
    He states that lane filtering by motorcycles is not legal. So if the Associate Minister of Transport say's it's not on, no wonder cops are confused when they have "guidelines" that say one thing and laws (and Ministers) that say another thing.
