Re: Is filtering addictive?
I love filtering.. I learned my trade when Mrs Nutz used to live in North London, I used to commute to her flat 3/4 times a week (sometimes more). This involved the M3/M25/North Circular twice a day at rush hour. Miles and miles of traffic to practice with
Now, I think I'm getting a bit old. I still love filtering but I do find it tiring, mainly due to the increase in self obsessed muppets on the road round here.

The best move to make, even if he's wrong. I knows few coppers and they all agree, the worst crime you can commit is to piss them off.Perkles wrote:I got pulled by a bike cop for filtering he went apeshit at me,he said the traffic has to be queuing to filter.I didn't argue with him and just kept my gob shut

Re: Is filtering addictive?
Totally agree the above is the reality of the situation buy tbh I can't agree. If the cop is wrong and you point it out he should accept it and aplogise. Not going to happen I realise but I don't see it as fair they can intimated us into accepting their wrong opinoom or worse still their action.kiwikrasher wrote:The best move to make, even if he's wrong.

Re: Is filtering addictive?
I filter every day on my commute to work and back, if I couldn't it would be pointless me going on two wheels.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

Re: Is filtering addictive?
Are we talking about motorway/dual carriageway filtering or normal road filtering, both very different.

Re: Is filtering addictive?
I'd be filtering on a dual carriageway and that's when the traffic is running very slow or has stopped which happens most days, the only time I've filtered on the motorway is when there's been an accident and the traffic is standstill.

Re: Is filtering addictive?
I don't think Plod would view moving between traffic on a fast moving motorway as filtering.

The Plod that I followed down lane 2 and 3/4s didn't seem to mind. I agree though most wouldn't, but I still do it if they don't move overduke63 wrote:I don't think Plod would view moving between traffic on a fast moving motorway as filtering.
I think we probably all do to an extent. If it all goes pete tong though, then the blame will lay with the biker i suspect.

Re: Is filtering addictive?
No filtering tonight. I was being tossed about like a young lad at a Michael Barrymore pool party.
