I'm fairly confident that I would kill myself and sure that the bike would be trashed if I tried that

i think if you are nuts enough in the first place then when it comes down to it you really have not got a lot of choice but to keep going ... you cant really turn round ...

You prob right Baron Von Grumble would probably try this on his GSX  :rollin

Nope cant say i would do this ... though may walk it  :rolleyes

He's only got to meet a goat coming round the bend in the other direction to be in for a long drop  :eek

Agreed about being mad, 2m50s in proves it.

I'd rather skydive naked and land in a pool of lava.

edit: having said that I suppose it's what your used to. Before I rode in London filtering on the motorway felt dangerous (in terms of the amount of space between vehicles).
After riding through gaps in London traffic that required a lean to the left, a lean to the right to avoid mirrors the gaps on the motorways start to look like bus-lanes.

In fact it reached a point where I started doing silly things on motorways like riding the champagne cork*. I got away with a dozen or so, but the last one proper scared me.

The cabs started drifting together when I was about half-way down the alley, so much so that by the time I got to them their wing-mirrors were overlapping completely. I swear I pulled my shoulders in stuck my head down and screamed all the way out  :eek



* 1.Find two lorries side by side (they must be side by side - if one is in front of the other by more than a couple of feet I wouldn't do it - too dangerous when you hit the wall of air pushed out by the cab)
2. Ride up the middle**
3. Use the massive low pressure area to boost your speed
4. Shoot out of the front like a champagne cork
5. (Optional) Perform a double-bird to the lorry drivers when they hoot their horns at you.


** I seriously don't recommend this unless you are a brain-dead twat (Like I evidently was)
