At 2:08 :  The "ST limit"- she's a fatty!    :grin
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

This 1 was just possible if steered 2 perfection - but wots the point of taking a silly risk like that?

It's a recent law change in NSW called "Filtering" coz the traffic is static. Cannot b done when traffic is moving, (referred 2 as "lane-splitting"), although I read somewhere that very low speed filtering is allowed but not sure what that limit is, might b below 30km/hr. I m very sceptical about filtering at very low speeds coz as soon as traffic starts to move then unpredictable events r more likely.

Glad u liked it Dave, my youngsters, (17 and 22) said it was "watchable" coz of the increased action and the high speed filtering seemed so dangerous. "Watchable" is a significant compliment.
