    OK, you are cracking along when you come across another biker, what is the etiquette for overtaking? Do you just get on with it or follow for a while? What are peoples opinions?

    I normally follow for a little while just to let them know I'm behind them, and when they are aware of that fact I pass them and nod as i go on by.

    fly past them giving the wanker sign for them being slow

































    not really ;D

    all depends on what type of road it is, how they are riding and how fast they are going
    Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

    I tend to let them know I'm about, if I'm coming up too quick, just read ahead and give them enough space as I go past. Unless it's people I know then I might buzz them, ;D

    I too hover for a sec or two then get on with it and go past, especially if they are just sitting behind a car\line of traffic
    for no apparent reason, I like to get on with it under filtering i call it and if they are riding slow enough as to be come
    up on by a Harley they deserve it ;D
