its horses for courses isn't?
every rider rides for a different reason and in a different way!
riding between Cornwall & Portsmouth I'm finding my confidence growing & will filter when I think its safe but if the traffic is moving @ speed limits then I'm happy to hold back in lane then overtake when it clears,
I find though if i'm on my bike then quite a few cars will pull over out of the way to let me past then pull out behind me once i'm clear... this doesn't happen when i'm in my cage doing similar speeds!!
although gotta say had MASSIVE grin on my face last night going olong A35 and traffic was at slow crawl so stuck right indicator on and went past the lot!! i reckon i passed bout 200 cars which if i'd been in cage would've held me up for bout an hour!!
and the ride upto basingstoke this morning was a hoot...

It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!
