Filtering - am I morally right with my aux lights?

Been on this site since 2004 and I didn’t know that! Thank you.👍

Not sure what the sticky out tongue face means but I will roll with it.....

All I can say is that my bike has it fitted and it works exactly as it should. I do not recognise any of those faults on mine.

At 6'2" I have no issues flat footing the bike whether the suspension is raised or lowered. The bike is heavy, of course it is but it isn't overly heavy. It's actually significantly lighter than the model it replaced. Get any bike past its tipping point though and you aren't going to stop it falling. The lower CoG of the GSs actually helps with that. I believe BMW fitted AVHC to open the bike up to shorter riders, not sure what the issue is with that? The more GSers the better!

Your personal preference of what bike you ride is just that, personal. The same as everyone else's personal preference on here who made a choice to buy a BMW. Why you continually rant about how poor a bike the BMW is beyond irritating, but I sense you know that, hence your continuous drivel on the topic.

The GSA isn't the biggest and heaviest, there are plenty of bikes out there which are significantly heavier and a manufacturer 'making it easier for you' is a good thing isn't it? Talking of heavy bikes though, the Honda GoldBling which I believe you ride, is a whole 156kg heavier than a GSA in standard guise. That's about the same as two decent sized pillions constantly sharing the bike with you. Honda, as a manufacturer made that bike easier to handle by fitting a reverse gear such is its bulk. With a seat height of only 29 inches it also means that even trolls can ride one.

You’re right . Message count has nothing to do with intelligence. But being literate could be viewed as such a measure .

The great thing about this group is the ability to set trolls to “ignore”.. 👋
 
As an aside………. Can I ask how people make these AI images please
 
I have never tried until today as in all honesty I find it a bit childish for antagonistic use. I broke my own rule today though and I used Dora. Just tell it to create an image you want and then modify as required.

I filter a lot, I like it and feel smug as a bug when I get the front of the queue at the lights.
On Sunday I was coming back through Reading and caught in heavy traffic on the 40mph dual carriageway that seems to have traffic lights every 300 meters and was happy filtering and splitting the lanes where the cars would allow. I got to a point where two cars were close to each other and not enough room for me to pass in between them; thinking they hadn't noticed me, I switched on the hazard lights. I have some Denali DL6 Aux lights (in yellow) wired up to my Hexcan that flash on the opposite pattern to my indicators when the hazard lights are on.
From this point the traffic parted like Moses was passing through the red sea. I think my Denali lights are set to 20% ish on the hazard flash so traffic much further up the queue was parting and I had a clear run through all the lights, it was great!!!
My dilemma came to me when I was clear of the traffic, did those car drivers think I was some form of emergency vehicle and if so, when I passed and I was clearly not, would it have made them hate filtering bikers even more?

Highway Code Rule 116​

Hazard warning lights. These may be used when your vehicle is stationary, to warn that it is temporarily obstructing traffic. Never use them as an excuse for dangerous or illegal parking. You MUST NOT use hazard warning lights while driving or being towed unless you are on a motorway or unrestricted dual carriageway and you need to warn drivers behind you of a hazard or obstruction ahead. Only use them for long enough to ensure that your warning has been observed.

He’s UKGSer’s very own version of Franceso Schettino from British Fairyways.

He has me on ignore; his skin’s thinner than the tissue I used on my balsa airplanes when I was a kid.
