Expand I didn't take my bike out on the salt, stayed on the paved section at the edge of the salt. Todd took his out there at a very slow speed. That will eat the aluminum right off of your bike if ya leave it on there very long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people dont even blink, when we ride to the front. No matter the state.

Expand That'll get you a ticket here. Not saying you can't try it, but if a cop sees you, you're done. This was in Cali and they had people out making sure no one split - we asked. And they had cops there to back it up along with "double fines in construction zones". Hardly worth trying it just to try to save 3 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly worth trying it just to try to save 3 minutes. Expand really? That doesnt compute. You arent lane jumping when you filter, so i'm guessing a heavy handed flag holder. We've been flagged to the front of stopped traffic in several states. Its usually Colorado where we run into the "sensitive" types and get 511'd. Next time that happens to me there, i'm getting the group to drive the speed limit in all lanes and let them sallies behind me stew Double fines dont apply if you arent violating a regulation. I would have instructed the yellow creature in the errors of their way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 They even had cones set up between lanes to keep you from splitting. Taking things a little too seriously. But we didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I like those cones, just provide a nice barrier between myself on the wrong lane and all the cars stuck behind the cones I appreciate it's a different atitude towards traffic management, here and there, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 In Spain (or Portugal..... we were lost) I saw a robot man at roadworks waving a flag as a warning. He looked slightly more intelligent than some of the blokes I have had doing traffic management for me in the past. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
