    The van did indicate and he was in front of you so why should you get mad

      @UsernameKate Před 2 lety +12

      You can indicate but you still need to make sure it is clear before you move over. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre, not signal mirror manoeuvre however the man saw me and acted accordingly like a good driver. Point is, you have to be ready for anything.

      Not criticizing Kate since she handled it properly, but it seems to me that the people making comments on this are likely to die in traffic. When filtering, you don’t drive around someone who has their indicator on. It doesn’t matter who has the right away. You’re the one who’s going to die.

I've watched a few of those road-rage type compilation vids and they're filled with folk that need to take a chill pill and, in many cases, assess their own driving/riding skills!

    Kate - did you know Way back in the old days the biggest and best BMW bike dealer in the NW was "Doug Hacking" located on Blackburn Rd, Bolton. Superb shop in every way, they unfortunately lost their concession as BMW changed the way it sold bikes in the late 1990s. They relocated to a bigger more modern premise but still lost the concession. That is now known as Bolton Motorcycles, still run by the same family.

    That Jeep that you passed is fairly common here in the US. The cons are they are heavy, poor gas mileage, not as much interior room as you might think. But, that said, the young people love em. Many owners customize them with all kinds of add-ons. They are built by Chrysler with the Jeep badge, but they have little in common with the original Jeep brand. Love watching and listening to you ride, sorry to hear about Mike's finger. I guess it's an expensive lesson to keep your fingers out from around the bottom of the mower.

    Nice bike Kate. I don't know how long you have been riding, but if you want a bit of advice from an old hand (10 years then a 10 year break followed by another 23 years) slow it down when filtering. If anything happens such as a car changing lanes without indicating or a door suddenly opening on a stationary car you have more time to react. A good rule of thumb is no more than 5mph faster than the other traffic.

      @@UsernameKate ah well I’ve just sold 3 bikes a street triple 675 RX , Royal Enfield Continental 650 GT, Enfield Bullet 500 Trials
      I’m in the process of getting the final edition Suzuki GSX S750 going to have trade in my amazing husqvarna 401 svartpillion for it.10 days ago I bought the new Royal Enfield meteor stellar 350 plus I have had a Royal Enfield Continental 535 GT for 5 years that’s the longest I’ve ever owned a bike so that’s not really answering your question so I suppose at this moment in time it has to be the 535GT it always gets lots of attention at bike nights or cafes 😊

    When the van moved across your path, you could have:-
    Blasted the horn, shouted abuse, ranted at the driver, or even, as seems popular on CZcams, punched the mirror!!
    INSTANT CZcams GOLD!!
    .......and for what?
    The driver, probably didn't expect you to be there, and therefore, probably didn't look properly.
    We all know this happens all the time, getting angry doesn't fix anything, it usually makes the rider look bad.........or stupid!!
    Nicely handled Kate, same as the way you handled, what you perceived to be, an attempted theft.
    Keep doing you! As you say 🙂👍

    Poor Mike, why did he have his hand under it? That's usually where the grass supposed to be 🤣
    My friends brother (yea yea that old one 🤣) was mowing his lawn and was trying to do it really fast and hit the washing line pole and the mower did an endo and he put his foot in it.
