As former London rider I view this post as a pleaure ride in the country. No offence, I know ALL couriers have their moments.

I noticed you didn't filter through traffic - is this not permitted and if so does that rule apply to all 50 states? If it does, it sucks!!

If you can't filter you may as well be in a car.

filtering in the state of oregon is not permitted, the town where this was shot is called roseburg, and has alot of police, however if i went to california, it is permitted.

sorry but that bike is a bit to clean for a serious despatch rider to be riding and i should know im manchester,s million mile motorcycle courier nearly at 1.5 million recorded daily for over 30 years daily seroius riding

[bikersrule07]

im not sure how to respond to that, i'm used to people telling me how dirty my bike is, besides when that vid was taken, the bike was only a couple of months old , and had not gone through a winter yet, as you proberly noted im wereing summer gloves, not winter gloves,also the weather in oregon,and washington state is a little different to manchester.. not alot though.

You missed out picking the package up and being ordered to get it to it's destination in five minutes! You missed getting stuck in traffic and vans and cars cutting you up and nearly killing you! you missed riding in pouring rain! you missed the drop off where they ask where the hell have you been we wanted this package half hour ago! You missed a lot out!!!!!!!!

I remember riding in England very well, it is a tough place, esp in london, where the streets just dont make scence at all.

i wish you the very best of luck in what ever you go into.

The courier industry here in the usa, is still srong,and growing.

im starting a new company in wa state,if it turns out good, ill be looking for good exsperianced dispatch riders,currently there are none where im setting up the new location.
