Just got two more sets of track scrubs yesterday, dunlop gp 2's 160 rear and 120 front, took them to get fitted this morning and ive done 80 miles the bikes as grippy as hell and cornering great not understeering, so I have tried 180/120 160/120 with no noticeable differences bike handles great. What handling problems have other people noticed.???.

That seems to blend filtering and overtaking into the same thing.
I'd say they were different subsets of the same skill, it's just a matter of speed and positioning. Another piece of advice is to treat filtering as an on-going series of overtakes.
So are we saying that overtaking into oncoming traffic is ok if slow enough. All city rush hour overtakes involve oncoming traffic.
As mentioned, it's only a no-no if you make someone else feel the need to take avoiding action. Coming back from my holiday yesterday there was a long line of traffic approaching a pedestrian crossing so I took several opportunities (not to mention great delight  ) in moving into the opposite lane and pass several cars in one go, then making a pre-planned drop back into a gap between the rear of one car and the front of another when there was traffic coming the other way .
Nope, because as you get more practice and experience you find your limits increase and your comfort zone gets bigger

+1 couldnt agree with you more
And still we don't get an answer from redman about whether he's had any Advanced Training.
So let's try "If you attempted to overtake into moving oncoming traffic When being assessed by a class 1 police examiner you would fail immediately. " [Citation Needed]
Do you have anything to back that up, redman, other than your opinion of what you *think* might happen?
Graham I am not going to waste my time responding to your question, i know what i am talking about i dont think i know what i am talking about, please continue with your posts as they are highly amusing

Some of these posts are incredibly hillarious, and obviously people are talking about IAM and havent got a clue what there talking about, Its just a shame that people asking questions are taking advice from the above. If you attempted to overtake into moving oncoming traffic When being assessed by a class 1 police examiner you would fail immediately.  Please continue...........

Hi dude I used to buy expensive base layers £50 from all the majour brands then when i got into motorcycling i bought some cheaper ones from supermarkets aldi lidl etc go outdoors and have been surprised that they function just the same if not better than the expensive ones. So it all depends one what brand you want ...

Wow what a thread, Thought I would give you my experience of IAM, Ive had my full licence for 4 months after i passed my test I realised I hadnt been trained to an acceptable standard to stay alive on the uk roads. I studied on the net and chose IAM as it appeared to be what I was looking for. Phoned them up Sefton IAM group Merseyside and luckily an 8 week course commenced from saturday at Formby Fire Station. I met and was trained by an excellent friendly bunch of people the majority were all class 1 police riders, Ron Haslm track instructors, BMW test riders/motorcycle journalists the skills knowledge and experience they had between them was over 700 years. They started with the basics taught me the system improved my confidence and skills week by week and I have recently just passed my test, however I wasnt interested in taking a test or passing. I just wanted to be better trained and thats what I am. I am ten times the rider I was 8 weeks ago, I am always processing five steps ahead of every situation I ride safer smoother and faster and I would reccomend IAM to anybody who wants to improve there safety and riding skills. However as having a cert ed in teaching myself I know that the quality of your observers and their attitudes will reflect on what you will learn and take away with you...........
