got to say I've used my bike all this week between Portsmouth / Basingstoke via A3 & the traffic has been very kind @ moving aside for me making filtering easier and fun!
I'm off back down Cornwall later & was thinking of using main beam when I hit the M5 stretch but after reading this I'll give it a miss!

thanks for the advice again Foccers  :lol

good luck with that trip to kernow,the A303 is gridlocked from stonehenge to podimore roundabout (Glastonbury late comers) and the M5 is gridlocked from the M4 junction of the M5  to Taunton. and its pissing down with hailstones and having a massive series of thunderstorms coming through my part of somerset. hope you have a good ride home and you missed the worse of the weather/traffic

yeah thanks was good ride, yeah Solitce park to A360 wa grid locked but filtered well through that lot ( with a Pan European bout 5 car lengths behind me) managed to ride as far as Oakhampton before stopping to waterproofs & fill up. was a bit scary in the hailstones for bout 20 minutes then it stopped so all in all good 4 1/4 hrs ride!
