Filtering etiquette

[Disco Dan]

just take the path of least resistance.

Said the vicar....

My original post wasn't about newbies. It was about people deliberately holding other people up.

Yes, Sorry. My error.

[...] I've noticed an increase in other bikes 'blocking' while filtering. [....] Some of them deliberately.

It's good to see that some bikers are as big arseholes as many car drivers.
It makes us feel as though we are part of the mainstream.

Yes, Sorry. My error.

Finally. It wasn't that hard after all.

now we just need Grub to swallow a bit of pride as well.

Go to London for a couple of weeks and ride for a dispatch company......Then you will learn to filter or die of hunger!!!

It takes one to know one obviously. Seriously though, Where the fuck do you get off coming in and spewing vitriol over some of the long standing and supportive members of this online community and expecting us to think you are some font of wisdom?

Some of the people you have tried to attack are really genuine and helpful. Remember this place differs from most online forums in that many of us have met each other in meatspace and that we do regularly meet in meatspace rather than in Cyberspace.

The logical upshot of this is that you will probably meet someone who is respected at a KB event, your now infamous kneejerk will kick in and you'll have to contend with about 60 angry bikers.

At least wait until you've passed 1,000 posts before becoming abusive eh?

Oh, and by the way you don't actually need to sign your posts....we can all see it was you..

When I'm splitting I check my mirrors ever 5-10 seconds depending on what's going on in front

Be careful checking your mirrors as it takes precious attention from in front and you have far less time to react when splitting.

even experienced drivers/riders get somewhat of a surprise, and NEWBIES get quite a shock.

Chopper says " HARDEN THE FUCK UP"


Bikes splitting is part of MW driving get over it or get off the MW. Hell we are all insanely sedate compared to some of the motorcycle commuting antics of bikes in Europe.

Good points - except sometimes you wonder why people at 1000+ posts haven't realised that being constructive instead of abusive is more interesting...

But comeon - let's all admit that DB is good value. Decent entertainment at a low price. Whether it be the beers or...

Admit it - or this goes international!

My guess is they are more interested in bashing someone who does not agree with them, rather than having a rational adult discussion.

haha - considering changing my nick to "International" ay..

We are all entitled to our opinion. Sometimes I don't agree, sometimes they don't agree so HTFU !!

Has anyone ever caught up to a bike infront only because the bike infront created the gap, then once he lets you past, he then catches up to you?

It's quite funny when you have two bikers leap frogging each other down the motorway :P

[surfchick]

i'm immature... i always try to reel in the rider in front. until i've been reeled in. then i reel back. and with my pipes you KNOW i'm behind you

I looked in this thread for an idea of the legality of lane splitting.

Instead, I found a bunch of opinionated twats, textually puffing their chests out while trying to best each other in a display of whiny arsed verbal bumjuice. (Shakes head)

Does anyone know (for a fact) if lane splitting is legal... Now my bike is registered the buggers can track me down and ticket me for passing them while lane splitting (if it is illegal)?

This is just a petty flamewar - if you want anything constructive on lanesplitting do a search mate...
