Skills Update
« on: September 06, 2019, 03:16:29 PM »
My almost forgotten filtering skills had an update a few days ago. When returning home from Adelaide the traffic along The Port Wakefield Road at about Boliver was at a stand still. At first I stayed with the traffic due to the mix of vehicles not really giving enough width for an ST to ride easily between two lines of vehicles. I trust a road train driver a lot more than a car driver but riding between two road trains might get a bit squishy. A suitable gap opened up and I was away through about 4 km of stopped to slow moving traffic. I did have one car driver move a little to the left to close the gap but truck driver next to it opened it up again. Hold up was due to a traffic accident.

Should get a white bike Alan, then holes open like magic. Especially if you fit orange strobes.
