How can you get bored filtering? The workload is huge. If you're bored, as the Gremlin fella said, I'd be making sure my medical insurance and life insurance was up to date.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Don't get too complacent that's when accidents will happen. I don't really get bored although I occassionally realise that the traffic is going slower than usual hence making the trip take longer. If you get bored just think about how much worse it'd be in a car!That said I do get a wee bit bored with kilometres of filtering, what do others do to occupy the rest of the brain ? I usually end up singing/whistling or slaloming through the cats eyes

Well today was a frustrating filter to work ... 3 guys on oversized bikes (cars with two wheels basically) were filtering really REALLY slowly on SH1 to Auckland were ignoring the 3 other bikes behind them ... almost felt like I was in a car sitting in the queue :-( And the car drivers were probably not happy with a long convoy of bikes going past their mirrors.

What is really slowly in your eyes ? 10 /20/30/40/50+ kph ? Also, how much faster than cars ?
Forum whore
Argue about speed differential all you want. If I'm holding people up I get out of the way. They were just fat rude cunts, on fat, rude cunt bikes.

Rolling along in 2nd gear and either dropping to first or being cruel to the clutch while having the motor chugging cause the revs are too low ... that sort of really slowly. I could have walked past them quicker.
Scooter boy
Lol. I, too, wear my shining halo of pureness of not holding up other riders while splitting, pulling over and waving them past when there is a clear space to do so. It be good to think we all do...
But there is also a line of thinking that goes along the lines of respect and consideration of other riders is a 2 way thing, hence was interested in some context. So my question still stands.
Forum whore
No it doesn't. You're not the boss of me or anyone else riding a motorcycle. Look after yourself first and simply be courteous. Most of all; stop lecturing people. Even in the form of a strawman question.

I agree with you on all the above.
I don't get how putting an alternative line of thought is lecturing anyone.
Scooter boy
Get you there, luckily have never been in that situation for very long. Frustrating to be sitting behind someone who is making little progress on a bike or in car, who doesn't move over for other users
What is the best thing to do - mirror inconsiderate behaviour by flashing other rider / using horn (with potential fallout with cars around) or sit back and mutter to yourself while waiting for a space.
Btw, your 400 is quite a narrow bike, what constitutes an oversized bike ? Assuming a cruiser setup with big foot pegs and handles ?
Highway Biker
I was doing the muttering to myself thing ... I'm happy to lane split but I won't go along the hard shoulder or the edge bit by the barrier on the right of the outside lane (unlike a few other riders I see every morning).
I class anything other than a DR-Z400 as either over or undersizedBut these guys were on big fat things, one had hard luggage, one had soft saddle bags and the other was just fat ... my bike recognition skills only extend to what I currently own and what I lust after
Scooter boy
Lol. Ditto to your comments. Safe ridingI class anything other than a DR-Z400 as either over or undersized

It's not an alternative line of thought. You delivered it in the hectoring tones of one who suspects that someone is doing it wrong.

I was just reading up on the new CBTA assessment system for licencing, and noticed the following excerpt in the course guide (Page 9):
Progression
Explanation:
Rider is maintaining progress in traffic flow whenever it is safe to do
so.
Requirements:
Rider does not filter or lane split when unsafe to do so.
Lane splitting - relates to moving through the traffic travelling in the
same direction (that is in motion) by travelling between the lanes.
Filtering - relates to moving through traffic travelling in the same
direction (that is stopped) by travelling between the lanes.
if a failure is defined by "when unsafe to do so" - this implies that its perfectly legal behaviour "when safe to do so".
If course this itself is subject to interpretation, however I feel that having it mentioned here is a good step forwards.
