1. They are always the frist to put there lights on
2. Always the last to put their wipers on
3. They are the ones that nod at you from their car when you are riding
4. They move over to give you room when you are filtering through heavy traffic
5. They are the ones who go straight to the outside lane when they exit an island on a dual carriagewayany more ways to spot a biker trapped in a car..?

7. Is aware of other bikes on the road and doesn’t pull out in front of them
8. Drives on the rev counterMarch 30, 2009 at 1:03 pm #57846TT07ParticipantAgree, all true. Do you find it more awkward driving the car in one piece leathers than two piece. (Yes I have nipped to the shops in mine).Especially with a set with the rear hump on!

Well, I agree with you there, of course they do, best class them as Budding Bikers then[], which is a different breed to those who deliberately hog the white line to stop you getting past.
April 14, 2009 at 10:47 pm #57852BigBenParticipanthehe good im glad someone has agreed but lets be honest..hogging the white line never stops a rather daring overtake
April 14, 2009 at 11:11 pm #57853TT07ParticipantYep, and maybe in the future the “hogger” might just make more room for those daring enough to get past regardless.
April 15, 2009 at 2:53 am #57854prezzoParticipantI always indicate left so an approaching bike knows it safe to overtake i do the same when i am on my bike
