    You can indicate but you still need to make sure it is clear before you move over. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre, not signal mirror manoeuvre however the man saw me and acted accordingly like a good driver. Point is, you have to be ready for anything.

    Not criticizing Kate since she handled it properly, but it seems to me that the people making comments on this are likely to die in traffic. When filtering, you don’t drive around someone who has their indicator on. It doesn’t matter who has the right away. You’re the one who’s going to die.

I've watched a few of those road-rage type compilation vids and they're filled with folk that need to take a chill pill and, in many cases, assess their own driving/riding skills! As for the trolls, although it's easy to say, ignore the haters and keep on doing what you're doing :)

    That Jeep that you passed is fairly common here in the US. The cons are they are heavy, poor gas mileage, not as much interior room as you might think. But, that said, the young people love em. Many owners customize them with all kinds of add-ons. They are built by Chrysler with the Jeep badge, but they have little in common with the original Jeep brand. Love watching and listening to you ride, sorry to hear about Mike's finger. I guess it's an expensive lesson to keep your fingers out from around the bottom of the mower. Love the scooter btw, I ride a Honda Shadow 750 and would love to downsize into a Suzuki Burgman 400 if I had the chance. Great video, ride safe young lass!

Superb shop in every way, they unfortunately lost their concession as BMW changed the way it sold bikes in the late 1990s. They relocated to a bigger more modern premise but still lost the concession. That is now known as Bolton Motorcycles, still run by the same family.

    Nice bike Kate. I don't know how long you have been riding, but if you want a bit of advice from an old hand (10 years then a 10 year break followed by another 23 years) slow it down when filtering. If anything happens such as a car changing lanes without indicating or a door suddenly opening on a stationary car you have more time to react. A good rule of thumb is no more than 5mph faster than the other traffic.

    Casually mentions that Mike lost his middle finger! But seriously, there are plenty of victims of crime who didn't have better instincts to a bad situation or the belief that people are angels and that bad things can't happen to them. So don't apologize for looking after yourself - nobody else is going to do it for you.

    I have some vented summer gloves and they were awesome.... Until I swapped bikes and got a GS with handguards 🤣🤣🤣 I feel like if anything stupid is going to happen it usually happens to me 😳😳🤣 Poor Mike, why did he have his hand under it? That's usually where the grass supposed to be 🤣 My friends brother (yea yea that old one 🤣) was mowing his lawn and was trying to do it really fast and hit the washing line pole and the mower did an endo and he put his foot in it. This is why you don't wear flipflops while mowing or riding a motorbike 😳😳😳 he lost 3 toes 🤮🤮🤮 Relaxing in your garden is really dangerous 😜👍👍

    When the van moved across your path, you could have:- Blasted the horn, shouted abuse, ranted at the driver, or even, as seems popular on KZread, punched the mirror!! INSTANT KZread GOLD!! .......and for what? The driver, probably didn't expect you to be there, and therefore, probably didn't look properly. We all know this happens all the time, getting angry doesn't fix anything, it usually makes the rider look bad.........or stupid!! Nicely handled Kate, same as the way you handled, what you perceived to be, an attempted theft. Keep doing you! As you say 🙂👍
