[mkoprulu]

hell yeah, i get cagers stopping/braking to block me everyday! I even get some idiots who drive towards me... Jelaousy, my friend, is a very poisonous feeling :)

By the way, the sound is very good on your vid, i'm guessing the camera was inside your helmet right next to your mouth :) Over 1.3 mil miles mate! That's what i call proper experience!!!

As for the negative commenters, i'm fed up answering non-constructive comments, so i'll let him be...

Thanks for posting. Do all the bikers in London split the lanes and come within inches of cars? I'd have taco pants by the time I got to the office. Not to mention it's illegal in the states where I live. However, if that's common practice in London, maybe people are used to it and watch out for bikers. I've definitely never seen anything like this before.

[mkoprulu]

Yes, it is quite common and also legal to filter through traffic in between lanes as long as it's safe to do so. Recently it's also become legal to ride on the bus lanes in London, so it's a lot more comfortable to commute in the city traffic

Nice riding, I'm glad I no longer have to ride into London each day past all those parked wide vehicles with the morons sat in them.

Try riding one of these in Paris, I did, it wasn't fun.

the vid response wasnt sped up :)

nice ride, you drive like you were from Venezuela.

[Ricox4ever]

Wow even in L.A. we don't ride like that. Crazy insane. I give you brits a little respect for being that daring. California drivers would have put you int a wall or another car.

A few times there you were wishing for something narrower.

[UPALLNITE4U]

you ride like a maniac.

Brilliant video, I'm almost 15 I will be getting a Suzuki Burgman 650 Exec. as my first two wheel vehicle when i get my Motorcycle L's. They are by far my favourite, along with the V-Strom 650, but I heard they are rather difficult for beginner riders. The naked Suzuki GS 500 is also a nice bike.

It will be a year until I get my Motorcycle L's though.

But yeah, the Burgmans are excellent, they're even better in person, by far the most comfy bike, good size for my height too (5'10).
