    I'm in Krackerville... and work in Throndone... Sometimes cracking along the Hutt road and a little tickle on the throttle back along SH1 is a good blow out at the end of the day... but I only do that..... within the posted speed limits...

    You'd be over the Valley by the time your old crate got past the speed limit
    It is what it is

    Ie, Get your kit on, hope on your bike at 5.pm and go in search of some congested motorways to get your concentration split thrill?

    I was splitting home today quite comfortably, got to my exit and didn't want to get off!
    I find I'm never in a hurry to leave the office early or I will miss the rush "hours"

    Yes you get some dork cagers that never seem to look but at least I'm not stuck crawling in a queue of traffic. Besides given the number of rear enders I see on the motorway everyday I think splitting is far safer than potentially being in a cager sandwich

    I have a sneaky suspicion that we might see Col on some thumping torquey big twin in the near future....just a funny feeling wot I got.

    No one will be able to take the piss out of his old crate after that.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Lanesplitting between two boyracer cars as they start racing is lots of fun... it reminds me of one of those very few good parts from the movie Torque
    Gotta be carefull with that, seen a dickhead jump the gun and lost it and side swiped the other dickhead he was racing. Could be nasty, I normaly hang back for a few seconds then pass both at warp nine (100kpm...honest...).

    I know what you mean, however these aren't 'checkered-flag drag-race' style starts... just random rolling starts, where they're heading down a nice wide 2-laner between 40 and 50km/h (speed limit is 60km/h), you hang behind them until you hear them drop down a few gears, and then you simply blast past them

    They become real annoying cause they hold up traffic until they decide they wanna race...

    Although burning of twats is one of great satisfactions of riding a bike, you may well be veering towards Playstation syndrome.
    Get bumped lanesplitting or nudged by one of those boyracers on either side it may suddenly be a lot less fun.
