Sorry I got it years ago, so cannot remember, just could never get it to work on this site before.

Nice spinney bike in your sig. Where did you get that from?

I usually try to, but depends on the traffic. Like most people on here. I'm just greatful they have seen me.

MCN's blogs are simply awful, I actually wrote them an email, well written and literate ( I can do it if I try lol) as there was a female writer who was just taking the mikey. The blog that finished me off was titled "Is this the best motorcycle accessory ever?" with trepidation I opened ...

... out to spoil anybody’s fun, we know that motorcyclists enjoy riding, particularly at this time of year, we just want riders to think about others who live on the popular motorcycle routes and ride considerately.” Anybody with any information can contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously ...

Generally they are quite good over here, but then again there isn't much traffic tbh! Bikers wave at each other with their left hand to the side and use the right foot to say thanks to drivers once you are past. Biggest issue over here is pissed Frenchmen in cars, especially after lunch :D More ofte...

I live In a mountainous region of two lane road so I never have to filter, but the downside is the slow cars in no-passing zones. I always wave to those who pull off to let me by or wave me around.

Same here, hopefully they will do it again for someone else.The only time I get annoyed is when someone pulls over into the gutter and kicks up a whole lot of crap, especially when they do it a time when you have no hope in hell of actually passing them ha ha.

... he liked to dress up in his outfits and run around pretending he was a hard man. He didn't like it when i compared him to one of those people who likes to re-enact historical battles for fun!!

I thank where necessary, especially if someone has made an effort

... internals for a pair of 35 yr old forks, how hard could that be ? actually I was pointed in the direction of Cornwall Kawasaki and spoke to them who are hoping to try and track some down for me, if not I'll have to buy another set off eBay and hope all the internals are in them. Also I'm hoping ...

PS. I dont move over/make space for self gratification/thanks, I just know what its like to ride on the road on a bike and what arse holes car drivers can be.

..as may be, but my thought and action is its better to give too much space than not enough or none at all. Very true Tricky, which is why I always try to acknowledge my appreciation of their efforts even if I would have coped fine without it. No one likes it when then they make an effort & it ...

Yep I always give a wave or a thumb if safe to do so.

I try to always lift my hand in response to drivers who create extra space for me, although that momentary reduction in control disturbs me.
I suspect that they will not see my token wave, and feel a little guilty, although the extra space given is usually unnecessary anyway.

... you will find a place where the tears will turn to laughter and memories won't be as painful as they are now, If you have someone in your life who you can talk to who won't mind listening to you recount those memories then that will be a great help and one day you will wake up and feel a corner ...

i do lots and lots of mileage in my job, so i come across loads of bike filtering. the ones that tend not to wave as much are rush hour people, but then they are generally trapping anyway, and most bikers inside the M25.

I always say thanks, especially on my commutte as chances are I'll meet the same drivers most days. Saying thanks means they are more likely to be corteous in future too. I agree though, sometimes they move into the gutter, even when I'm still miles back and had no intention of overtaking (if for ex...
