    You’re filtering on the wrong lanes, mate.

  • @beehi56

    He was filtering ok on that street. What is he supposed to do? Sit in traffic behind an exhaust fume? And take up valuable space of another tractor? Pedestrians were on the pavement - not the road! I understand the pen is mightier than the sword but the traffic was ‘stationary’! He didn’t overtake on the zebra crossing - he’d already passed the car before he came upon the crossing. And exactly where did he ‘force oncoming traffic to change direction’ and drive closer to whom? He was following the lead bike. Specsavers anyone?! And don’t you think those cars were too big for that small village?

  • @MarkN67
    @MarkN67 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    42 in a 30? You shouldn’t be filtering like that in that street, too many people around and stationery traffic. Overtaking on a zebra crossing as well. You’re also forcing oncoming traffic to change direction and drive closer to the pedestrians on the other side of the road. You need to take a long hard look at your riding.

    Bro you need to be in the carpool lane it’s way safer and people are more likely to move over for you and you just have to worry about 1-2 lanes instead of multiple plus. It’s just way safer. I was told that by my motorcycle instructor years ago when I was 16 and he had been riding for 30+ years. Stay safe !

    the way you split lanes is everything you should not do. Just get on the HOV lane bro and stop messing about. And if you do filter, just do it between the hov and lane 1 where not a lot of people switch lanes between. You're filtering between lanes 2 and 3 where lots of people switch lanes between for no reason.

    • @toqirdar
      @toqirdar 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Points noted. The speed vehicles travel in hov, I’m uncomfortable in. I’d be having cars up my back expecting me to move over!! There’s also the unbroken white lines, which I assume you’re not meant to use to filter in, as opposed to the broken white lines in the other lanes. Also, i suppose I’m used to the uk rules where we stick to the lane which is nearest to the side, (which i know is not the way it is in the usa!). For me, this is the comfort zone.

      @toqirdar 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@EndritBs exactly.. And being in the outside lane (hov over here), the cars behind put a great deal of pressure on you to keep moving. I understand the speed limit is 65mph here but cars behind me are obviously doing much quicker than that. So I tend to stick in the other lanes, where I can adjust and alter the speed. the fact is one can just use filtering to get ahead. which is why I ride bikes. Don't want to hang around in traffic, and the 110 Interstate is notorious for traffic jams, but alleviated by their wide lanes, i just love to filter. We don't get these wide-size lanes in the uk or europe Ifrom my limited experience there).

    SoCal traffic makes riding a bike a necessity not a hobby or luxury in my opinion. How would you rate the Tracer as a daily commuter?

    • @toqirdar
      @toqirdar 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm not from California. I'm from London. As an outsider, I love riding bikes here in SoCal. For me, it's to do with the weather and the relaxed atmosphere. I ride the bike as a hobby. I commute to the mountains north of LA, and there just isn't enough time to see everything. And then I travel back to Central LA. I love the twisties, and coming back on Interstate 110 - the motorways are ideal. The Tracer does its job. It's a nice bike and works well as a touring bike as well as being 'punchy'.

    • @toqirdar
      @toqirdar ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. I was heading towards the Italian border. This was in august. There were traffic queues both ways as there were roadworks going on where they were putting in some asphalt and only 1 lane to use. This was intermittent. I was worried about the same thing being stuck uphill. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) I didn’t come back the same way. Now it’s September maybe they’ve sorted the roads out.

      That’s great. I’m no expert in riding bikes. In fact am a novice. Had a 125cc Honda scooter for a decade and now have this big 1250cc. Was my first time in the alps. Rode from France through Switzerland and what surprised me was the time to get over the alps (from Switzerland to Italy). It took nearly 3 hours to cover 50 miles. But breathtaking views. The thing that concerned me was riding uphill with sharp bends and there were occasions when we had to queue uphill and for me that was nerve-racking. Wishing you the best and I think there’s nothing to worry about.
