Re: Man down :-(
... 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 ...

Re: Putting hand up to car drivers who pull over
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.

Re: Putting hand up to car drivers who pull over
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...

Re: Putting hand up to car drivers who pull over
... when you flash them across a lane, I guess this is another side effect of our self obsessed society. I'll always do my best to acknowledge someone who gives me a bit of needed space. It might be a foot out, a nod, or a wave, depends on whats going on round me at the time.

Re: Putting hand up to car drivers who pull over
Most drivers are fine I did my good biking deed today. Riding along the A46 and there's a tractor ahead in the left lane. An HGV behind is indicating to pull out but no one is letting it out (all too busy rushing to work) so I swung across to the right lane, backed the traffic up and flashed the HG...

Re: Putting hand up to car drivers who pull over
It depends on how much traffic there is an what speeds I'm doing. Drivers on my right will get a head nod or a leg out unless I'm moving at a decent pace, in which case it's a half wave whilst not letting go of the throttle. Drivers to my left get a proper "thanks" with the hand. This∆∆∆ ...

Putting hand up to car drivers who pull over
is it me or does this happen less and less.
The amount of times I pull over to let a bike filter with plenty of room and I rarely get a heads up lately, or is everyone saying "cheers' and "thanks" in their helmets

Re: Poll: Has the Isle of Man TT become too dangerous?
People who think TT is dangerous, should take up skiing... far less dangerous. Lovely soft snow to fall on and great views.
