Pffft, remind me to never loan you a pair of my gloves :-? ;D
We've got the same gloves Mark - Great minds think alike!
I always wear gloves too - I value my hands & fingers too!
So which gloves are highly recommended??
The missus swears by them yellow marigolds! Being a bloke i tend not to wear gloves unless the environment is particularly hot but even then i have a tendency to leave it thus escaping the need for dawning the gloves. ;DQuote:

Should you be owning up to damaging shop stock and putting it back rather than buying it :P[/quote]Quote:

24. Filtering. It is legal, as long as you abide by all the 'no overtaking' rules (not crossing solid white lines, etc). However, it has to be perceived as being safe. Filtering past stationary traffic at 50mph is not safe, it's just plain stupid. As a rough guide, the traffic you're passing shouldn't be doing more than 20mph, and you shouldn't be going 20mph faster than the traffic. So if the traffic is stationary, you should be doing a maximum of 20mph. Why? To give yourself time to assess each vehicle before passing. The potential hazards include:-
1. Cars turning right from the queue.
2. Cars doing a U-turn.
3. Pedestrians crossing between the stationary cars.
4. Cars being let out of side-turnings (probably the biggest hazard).
5. Doors opening.
6. Your road position is on white lines and cats eyes, both potentially slippery.
7. Large vehicles coming the other way.
8. Homicidal drivers who try to pull out to block your path.
9. Homicidal drivers coming the other way, driving at you.
10. Fag butts flying out the window at you.
11. Other motorcyclists trying to impress with their filtering skills.
12. Other motorcyclists filtering in the opposite direction.
If there's a gap in the traffic, always ask yourself why? Is a car being let out of a side-turning? Is this car about to do a U-turn? Are they leaving space to do a right turn, maybe without signalling? So many accidents occur when filtering, yet it can be done safely if you're patient. Don't get carried away with the speed. All I think is, I'm still beating the traffic, no matter what speed I'm doing, so why be impatient. Be cool... 8-)
I seem to remember that you can croos a solid white line as long as the vehicle you are passing is doing less than 10mph???
As to fag butts.... the last one that hit me I managed to catch and return to it's owner. she was not amused!
:D
