Filtered through an 8 mile tail back on the M6. All for an accident that had been cleared up, but people still wanted to slow down to see the damaged car on the hard shoulder.

Does my nut in. As soon as one person slows down everyone else slows down until the last man and he has to stop. We need a car that just drives itself then we can look at whatever we want haha

And the other carriageway were doing the same. So that's both sides of the motorway at a crawling pace to see a damaged car.

It's unreal! Problem is the more they look the more likely there is to be another accident! But unfortunately we all do take a sneeky peak!

Not my bike, but rode the F 800 GS tonight, nice responsive bike, great amount of gizmo's, suspension setting, rider modes, gear indicator, seems a lot of the range's are kitted out with these now albeit called by different names, Really, really nippy, twin engine, so not the same delivery as the tiger 800 (using my own as reference) But very quick and nimble for a tall bike that it is.

The seat is really soft and comfy, but it does seem to be pushing my forward, which I was not to keen on as I could feel my back moaning about it, but this could be due to my time on the tiger. In general the position on the bike was really good and centralised making for a well balanced machine when riding. It does look nice as well. Saying all that I really do still enjoy my tiger ;)
