I pull into the bit reseverd for cylists or if there isnt a area I keep my nose in front of the car or if there is space pull in front of them
but i will generally be on the outside of car which is in the outside lane rather than being in the middle of 2 cars
even on a 100cc scooter you can pull away initially from most drivers and in london very few go qicker than 40, especially in rush hour.
filtering is a matter of confidence and an agile bike with a good lock makes a huge difference.
i can get to work just as quick on my wifes 100cc scooter as i can on my 600f

Do you guys take the fairings off everytime you clean your bikes?
And at what depth do you change your tyres? Before you get to 1mm I'm guessing!
(I should have got a bike when I was living in London)

Yes! I completely strip the bike so I can make sure that every single part is clean
Keep off my land!
