    Compare me to a Volvo driver? pffft. (I don't even like bowling)

    Roll on winter, so I can fully utilise my superior bavarian heated grips!
    Grow some balls mate, and tell all you BMW driving mates to do the same. If your mirrors fit then the rest of you will. Your pots aren't any wider than the cans on the SV and I very rarely scrape those down the side of cars.

    Anyway, it's not just the boxer drivers that drive scared. It's freeking every BMW bike I see, except a rare few, God bless them.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Hmm.

    It's just not right. What we're thinking. I mean, we've both been bought up better than that, right? I mean, could you imagine the disappointment in the eyes of our loved ones, if we came out... If we said... If we admitted the strange attraction...

    To a ..... BMdubyah?

    Reminds me of a joke.

    Kids in a class, teacher asks - "what do your parents do?"
    Mary jumps up and says "My dad is an executive, and he works wearing a suit and a tie".
    Suzy gets up, "My dad is a Doctor, and he spends all day helping people get better".

    Johnny gets up - "My Dad sleeps with other men for money, he works in a strip club and he wears women's underwear".

    The teacher gasps and says that can't be true.

    Johnny hangs his head, and admits "it's not true, but I'm too ashamed to say that my Dad is actually the Captain of the NZ Cricket team"...

    The first time I heard this joke, it was "my dad's an all black..."

    But I thought I'd get lynched...

    How can you first call my argument rubbish and then go ahead and say more or less exactly the same thing?
    If your OWN SPEED is zero (i.e. you're neither confident nor comfortable lane splitting) then I gather from what you're saying that you shouldn't split. Which is exactly what I said.

    Certainly you can't argue that you, with your life on the line, want to be pushing the envelope harder than you're comfortable with? That's a thing that is bound to end in tragedy!

    'Filterer' is a word, but 'assed' is not. Consider this your first and only warning from the BDOTGNZA's Enforcement Division.

    Yes, they're nice, aren't they? I was considering an R as an alternative to the GSX1400. Price swung me toward the Suzuki, though.

    By the way, anyone who rode back from Pie Rower along SH2 was foolish, IMHO, and entirely deserved the annoyance of the inevitable traffic madness.

    I rode home via Paeroa - Kopu, then up through Miranda and Kawakawa Bay. Virtually no traffic, and a very pleasant pootle.

    Assed is just slang for donkeyed...

    BDOTGNZA needs to move with the times as well I suppose.

    Do not mess with the Enforcement Division of the BDOTGNZA. Their insertion and extraction policy knows no fear and shows no mercy.

    So, is it the policy that doesn't know... or is it policy not to know?

    I'm getting slightly confused.


    Insertion: [CTRL]+[V]
    Extraction: [CTRL]+[X]

    Cut and paste like you mean it - with a conviction!

    Does one need to provide ones own lubricant or is it provided gratis?

    Not even close to being the same thing, your advice was dont split at all if youre doing it slowly, mine is to let the others pass then carry on doing your slow splitting, as time grows the confidence will too. But youre right about the last part i never go faster than i am comfortable with.

    That sounds a bit...unsavoury...when considering the meaning of BDOTGNZA!

    In that case I either expressed myself poorly or you misread my post.

    All good to split at low relative speeds - as long as you don't go wavering about half-heartedly with a lacking sense of direction. You need to have the mental acuity to respond quickly while keeping track of two lanes of traffic in front of and behind you.

    I don't think I mentioned speed - I just said don't do it unless you're confident and comfortable doing it. (... at the speed you're doing it)
