    Different use of the weave... but having to survive on Ak's motorways wih all the dumb cagers.

    I start to weave when I see the traffic in front rushing to a stop.

    The cagers behind usually wonders wtf and opens the following gap up.

    So far it keeps me safe.

    I know its been two years but...

    Recently, I watched someone picking up thier pride and joy up off the road because of using this pathetic technique.
    Its a bad habbit to get into.
    Young and impressionable riders take note....warming of your tyres by way of weaving/slalom soon after setting out is a crock.

    Sounds like an absolute crock to me:

    I've done it. Just for fun however.
    I guess when you are surrounded by cars, you do stuff sometimes just to say, "hey here is something you can't get away with"

    +1 to all of those haha
    I do it if in stuck in a large line of traffic on a straight piece of road, or if someone is driving on my number plate,
    Ill do it sometimes if I see a cyclist on the other side of the road and a cock in a 4W4 coming up behind it, they are usually the ones that like to pull into my lane thinking ill move for them

    That car thing where they are going straight ahead and indicate right then left to go around a tiny roundabout....whats that all about...?
    That letting the clutch out and spinning the back/front wheels thing.....what with that?
    Driving with one arm on the passenger headrest....wtf...

    I do it to celebrate being alive and out on two wheels.

    Motorbikes are supposed to turn corners aren't they?
