Thank You

excelent and welcome back hope you had a word aout his foot ware

Nice smooth ride brother 👍 🇬🇧 😀 👌

The rider seldom gives up his position for safety Nigel ? 15.13 he is almost brushing against that tanker ! Always good footage and mostly tidy riding on your channel anyways ....

Great to have you back Nigel. The lead bike, is the brake light built into the indicators? Or is the camera playing tricks?

Yes, it’s a new thing with the MY21 BMWs

Hi buddy, thanks for the video! I wanted to pick your brain (and others of the channel). If you overtake a car in the same lane as the car (as in do not cross the broken line, you're next to each other in same lane) are you legal to do so (forget safe for now, checking on legality). Bit more context on a live scenario: On a national speed limit road, straight and good line of sight. Car moves left and is kicking up dust, also indicating left (with no junctions) so obviously wants me to overtake (was not tailgating or anything like that, was happy to wait). But when cars do this I would rather them behind me so now I want to overtake. The middle line is broken but gravelly, speed is 50mph, also oncoming car off in the distance so out and in would be ok, but much easier to just pass in lane as I deem enough width and the car has given me so much room. Also I'm on a litre bike, so needs a quick squirt. I know the thought of lane splitting (in the true sense here) has polarizing opinions but when checking for the legal UK law I can't find anything to support or against. Spoke with a few motorcycle cops and they give me the rye smile and the "is it safe to do so" line - so I'm going with legal but frowned upon and if you crash it's your fault. What do you think? Cheers.

Found this if it works...... RULES FOR OVERTAKING Judgements must be made in which experience plays a great part and must include an assessment of the speed of vehicles concerned and distances involved, such as : 1. Speed of vehicles to be overtaken. 2. Speed and performance of own machine. 3. Speed of approaching vehicle(s) in view. 4. Possible high speed of vehicles as yet unseen 5. Distance available to overtake and regain near-side relative to 1 to 4 above. PLANNING FOR OVERTAKING 1. Never cause the overtaken or approaching vehicle to alter course or speed. 2. Avoid making a third line of vehicles abreast, either travelling in the same or opposite direction. 3. Always be able to move back into the near-side in plenty of time. THE SAFE MAXIM IS * IF IN ANY DOUBT HOLD BACK *

What is happening with those lights? They seem to flash on and off. If so have you offered some friendly advice because he could easily get points for that?

They won't be flashing/pulsing viewed with your eye. It's to do with the LED lights and their flicker rate vs the camera's frame rate/sensor. Here's something similar I filmed form 8 years ago but with the rear light. I've only had this following BMWs though. It's very strange as the it is common to see lights flicker/strobe in videos, but not when they are not even illuminated in real life. kzread.info/dash/bejne/doOLy6R8hbPAqNY.html

Wow than you, @@advancedbiker - that made me confused too especially when they seemed to light up while overtaking

I've seen the effect you describe on telly, but a much faster rate rather than this slow fade. Interesting.
