    The list of fun things to do, "Just Because" gets shorter every day.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I hear you James - I've had to put a lock on the bathroom door .......


    Back to wiggles.

    I do it because it's fun.

    I've also found it's a excellent way of getting a tailgater off your arse - they pull back very quickly!

    I have wondered in the past if I'd get a ticket if a cop spied this display of skill - I suspect so.

    A few teenagers in a car got pulled over on motorway patrol a while ago, for weaving in their lanes, They got some sort of ticket.


    But then again, doing it in a car is reckless and ABSOLUTELY ISN'T ON A BIKE

    It's almost a habit these days, more to wake me up to the fact that I'm on the bike! not in a car and to make sure I'm stuck nicely to the seat.Oh and of course because I can and to hell with them that think I shouldn't.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    I guarantee you it makes A difference. That difference is going to be rather small though and obviously quite immeasurable without scientific tools and methods.

    If you believe you could measure the temp of the tyre in real time using a thermometer then yeah sure.

    I used to do it heaps, I'm quite sure it made no difference to the tire temp, mostly was a "psych up" kind of thing before I hit the paihiatua track..

    Can't help thinking though, if motorcyclists were able to make some degree of distinction between 'fun' and 'enjoyment' we might have considerably less problems than we do.

    There's no way I'm having uneven wear on my tyre (who likes a squared off tyre!), so slalom it is...

    Joking, I only do it with new unscrubbed tyres but yeah if it floats your boat why not, not hurting anyone.
