Default Filtering with a Bagger

Over 'ere it's called filtering...running between stationary or slow moving traffic on a motorway/freeway/highway/turnpike.

The guys on slim sportsbikes are often startled to see a bagger leading the way. They often take off in another lane to get ahead, only to get snarled up by some mean MF in a car swerving to block their path. The great thing about the bagger is it's presence - when you're on a roll it's like parting the Red Sea!

Yep, you can sure tramp on with a bagger...

Lane sharing or splitting seems the obvious way to reduce traffic. Why any car driver would hassle a biker is beyond me and in some states here it is illegal. That's stupid.
