what i meant was that when i ride on the painted road..u know the road line like the white markings between the lanes and since there is traffic on both the lanes u take the centre route and u ride on the line, at that time, the bike kind of slips right and left..as if being pushed to the right or left side..its a sort of a jerk that happens..mmm...i hope i am clear now..

NO, I don't know what you mean... I don't ride there... EVER. It's not safe, debris collects there(tires cheap, where you live?), slicker(wet or dry), confusing to people behind ,in front, next to you, a zero, to all except the cop that thank God, will take it upon himself to educate you. Hopefully save'n us all from your immature, dangerous, lack of decernment and judgement. I hope he DUI tests you, impounds your bike, and tells you about the poss.lisc. suspension, insurance rate hike( that w/ ultimatly affects us all,) that you are just begg'n for. Left of center, is a huge ticket, and just try to explain in court, "you were just "ride'n the line" , NOT left of center!!!!Almost anything else is atleast in your own lane... this one is really stupid. Oh, did I mention while your dick'n around... following the little white line- (WOW) Your not paying any where enough awareness, to be ready for the the world we live in.Don't use that BS. about sometimes you have to... If anyone told you... or the little voices inside did... You need to find a new crew to hang w/. The masses are asses. Don't "blend in".

I don't usualy go off like this... unless lives maybe at risk. I hope I helped save yours, my sincere intent.
Clean and free, Ripp'n

riding the line? We call it filtering(UK). When the cars are stuck in traffic why be stuck behind a car? just filter between the gap and avoid minimum contact with the white line cause there isnt much grip there.

mine doesnt jerk, just feel the bike loosing grip every now and then.

EXACTLYYYYYYYY!!!! you hit the nail right on the head! this is what i mean! when stuck in traffic you sometimes just have to ride on the centre between the lanes! and ofcourse we have these painted markers and yes you are right..i feel the grip losing every now and then which gives the feeling of the bike moving right and left..i have no idea what "rippn" understood and fired off! hahahaahaa..

This move isnt illegal here in the UK (at your own risk). I have even followed police through stationary traffic in their pan europeans. Isnt this the reason why I have a bike? I could get back in my car, have my stereo on, heaters or air con on and sit in traffic for 3 hours. Arrive at work stressed before I even start work.

hey ameersak I was in Dubai for work in sept just gone, funny thing was, I was in our location bus and a CBR 600RR in orange just like mine did exactly what we are talking about. filtered through stationary traffic. wasnt you was it? LOL!!! MAN!! when I saw that cbr made me miss my bike. You roads looks nice shame about all that sand must be a bitch to clean off.

hey alte22a! i was in uk (chertsey, london) last week for a business meeting. but i dint quike miss my bike coz it was so cold that i would rather put the heaters on in the car then freeze to death in the cold!!!
anyways..its nice to know that you visited dubai? did u like it? i have a 2006 cbrF red and black. but i really love this orange and black color of yours! too cool..

and yes "Ripp'n", i bought the bike for many reasons but the major one is to filter through the traffic! my work is like half an hour or 40mins from my home, why spend 2hours in traffic to reach in the car! .i am better off filtering though the traffic but ofcourse need to be alot careful!!!
Dear Ripp'n, u were upset for other reasons better known to you!! hahahahahaa

its nice to know you alte22a! ride safe!

"disadvantages while riding on the painted line, as well as precautions while doing it"... 4 times, in 3 sentances. How could I have been... so wrong!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Please accept my apoligy!!!!!!! I thought you were daytripp'n!!!!!!!!
