    Talking Quick question - re bike cops

    I thought there was some new law out to force motorcyclists to keep left?

    Does this not apply to bike cops riding less than a bike length appart doing 100km in busy motorway traffic

    Maybe they're 'special'

    Too the best of my knowledge staggered formation is still the best, safest and most accepted group riding formation. I don't believe they will would either...

    Staggered means the formation looks tighter than it actually is but because it is staggered you are in theory still riding 2 seconds behind the bike durectly in front of you (and only and still gives reach rider room to manover...

    Well thats the theroy anyway...

    Unfortunately it it does exist. And yes it is a fuckin stupid law. It came in at the same time as the last rewrite of the traffic rules along with its associated demerit points.
    Time to ride

    Really... how fuckin stipid is that... I won't be following that law... I pay my registration to ride on the road (and petrol tax), and when in my lane I will use and ride any where in that lane as I feel and see fit, if it is safer for me to be in the right of the lane I will be there, if it safer in the middle I be there and if safer on the left I be there (which is very rear but usually shit on the road and or the line I have choosen for a corner)

    ... So if they are force us to use half a lane then I want some of my registration money back...

    they can shove that law up there hairy pimply covered butts
