freaks, just push in over to the next lane then split up that lane for a bit then push back over and give the guy a backwards finger for being a dick and going so slow. bet they were in hi-vis.

Fashionably late.

You're aware the road isn't solely yours, right? You sound like a fucking idiot, christ, I hope the time I leave for work is different to yours.

followed the worst splitter into town today, braked for no reason and was slow as fuck! but whet really ripped my undies was when he finaly moved over like he was letting me passed then slammed the door on me when I was right behind him, my fault for being in a bad mood and running late but the resulting lockup must have made him shit himself, the funny thing was i finaly passed him when he paused at the sight of a cop car, then filtered past it only to pull in front of it

Haha - well they don't make my blood boil like some on here.
I will on occassion zip across a lane to get around slow lane splitters but I tend to be very cautious whenever there are tons of cars/trucks/busses around.

I tried splitting a lane the other day but some bastard stuck it back.

I've been riding a bit wild lately so wanted to check myself. Taking it easy and politely, especially filtering. Word of advice, its easy to "nod off" when ambling along. Had my wake up call today by pulling over to let another bike through. Rear ended the nice lady in front.
Lesson:
It doesn't hurt to pull over. What may hurt is paying more attention to the guy behind than the car in front.

This is a good idea, especially for the slow & nervous lane splitters. More than once I have come up behind a biker straddling the line between the lanes looking at the gap between the cars ahead and thinking about whether to try squeezing through or not. I generally split with confidence and don't really need much leeway on either side, I wouldn't be the fastest lane splitter, but I probably split faster than average. When I come up behind another bike in my way then I'll switch to 1a if there are 3 lanes or I'll wait semi-patiently if there are only 2 lanes. When someone notices I am behind them and moves into a lane to let me pass then I am grateful for the courtesy.

When I am splitting my full attention is on what is in front of me. The last thing I need to be worried about is someone behind me.
I am even less worried about holding up some of the posters in this thread. Talk about the wrong attitude for riding on the road.

Do you have to lane split in Whanganui - do have rush hours?
OMG, WTF......OIGI LOL
I was splitting the other day, was really fucked up, people were really pissed, swerving all over the place, giving me the fingers, swearing and giving me right shit!!! FUCKERS.........
Then I remembered I had sold my bike and I was back in my cage....
Double shot!!
LOL thats great! You'd be fun to ride with!
Hrm you need to have a good dose of speed on to ignore what's behind you. Let's hope his headlights are on fullbeam at least, so you are alerted.
They should do a trackday - that'll put them straight.
What's in front of you is your responsibility. Same rule applies for the person behind you.

Damned if I know, Never heard of the place.Sounds like a shithole.
That aside, I roam far and wide, and sometimes I have the misfortune of visiting towns where people haven't have the good sense to get the fuck out, This results in many miserable people in cars, and douche bags on bikes racing between the lanes.
If thats what motorcycling was about, I'd give it away and go and do something that doesn't suck.

Fuck I laughed this morning!
Being held up by another bike AND having a bright blue bumblebee scroter up my arse. He didn't hang about on the scrote once I pulled over!
Go the motorway scooter riders of doom!!!
