    I got my bar hooked under a door handle once, while mid-corner. Cager thought it might be amusing to lane share his car while in a roundabout, straightening out the corners a little bit and clipping white lines - specifically, the white line that I was on. Consequently, I thought it might be amusing to swing my boot at his fucking drivers door, since he scuffed said boot with his wheel trim.

    In all fairness, I shouldn't have been there. We're not allowed to lane-share over intersections for good reason, and this is it. I've also exchanged horns and finger with another right-turning driver while I was overtaking a line of traffic turning left. It was easy to figure out why this was a bad idea too!

    Think ahead, keep your speed-differential down, and accept it when you've learned a little lesson.

    Am I the only one who splits and tries to weave in between the cats eyes and around cars? Makes for a fun ride home from work.

    I tried that on my GN.

    FFS! it was totally out of control with its bog standard plastic tyres on it

    Much more fun was compression locking the rear wheel turning into the driveway

    I never clipped a car though so all is good

    The guy in front of me yesterday on the southern motorway (riding a gixer thou) kept hesitating and the gaps got narrower, then he shook his head, I had two other bikers up my rear all of us lane splitting, when I got the chance I over took him and left everyone behind....

    Have no idea what ran through their heads but they couldnt catch, I do it on a regular basis and always use prepherial vision.

    Is prepherial vision the third eye or the Japs eye?

    Neither, but women have a greater perprephial scope than men....it's tested at optomertrists.

    Isnt peripheral vision strongest in prayed upon creatures? Predatory types tend to rely more on the direct field of vision like 1-100 bike lengths (in front)

    Pr aps thats why the odd wing mirrors manages to jump out and make contact with some lane splitters?
