Top effort! Bling your way - If that had been me, I woulda been very grateful

Albin..Bling is fine,but what was the answer to the original post ?.."where he should place himself and why" ?.. What type of road was it?,how much room to the left of the white line?..How much traffic?..Was the guy checking his mirrors as you would?..etc etc...yes you should look out for fellow bike riders obviously...but...???..Was the advice move to the right ?...As in the previous post,you hold the traffic up in this part of the country and its only a matter of time before you get bowled..There are catch 22's as most know when starting out or as in this case returning to biking after what may be a long break,doing it on a lower powered motorcycle or riding at below the posted speed add's its own peril's (imho)

well Im guessing pai-mei (MSTRS) in his infinate knowledge pointed out on those facts, but then again, when Im on the right hand wheel tracks, people sometimes try to undertake me. I dunno what the answer is I guess, but MSTRS was looking out for others which is what I respect

Thanks for all your positive replies. I was just concerned that it could be considered 'unwarranted interference'. I do feel strongly about biker safety, and if I can give advice that saves someone's life then I should not keep it to myself. Obviously there are times when doing this would not be appropriate, but in this instance it was. To elaborate, on this stretch of road (HB Expressway) 'most' seem to drive at 80-90kph which is veeeerry frustrating as the roadway follows long sweeping curves making seeing past the vehicle in front quite a challenge. The rider was keeping a good pace but being on the left line, he was inviting all and sundry to lanesplit him. Told him to move to the centre/right of the lane and claim his bit of road like his life depended on it.
Would have loved to chat about his old BSA but work was calling louder having said my bit.

Well done mate, I know I would certainly appreciate advice from anyone if my riding style was not safe or practical.
