Oooo big deal, have fun sitting in traffic. I ride wherever a lane opens up.
I signalled and shoulder checked every turn, I don't see why I am a bad rider if I speed up the process.
*btw it's called filtering

thats what makes you the worst kind of rider.. you dont think theres anything wrong with it.
if you are going to ride like an idiot and post it on youtube, at least make it fun to watch, and ride 200+ like ghostrider.

Another gtam troll with cliche critique.
If you're referring to .20s as a wrong lane pass, that was merging from a side street.
I only see few filtering passes at the signal, which can be a bad riding habit.

I also Checked out your other vid, as a refference..
You clearly have no clue about lane/track position or how to corner.
illegal passing...etc.
you are a hazzard to other motorists. did you get your M at the Pacific Mall ?

Bahaha.
There isn't anything improper in the original video worth mentioning. He maintained proper 'blocking position' (well within tolerance given his surroundings) and maneuvered with either plenty of room or at a pace more than reasonable to assess future hazards.
@bunmanchi
If you're making assumptions out of context (as is the case when multiple video clips are spliced together), maybe you should further practice questioning what you watch and ask before accusing. Not to mention, properly assessing your surroundings can make most maneuvers (minus rider error) safe. But some people, given there ability to assess, are less comfortable (thus more cautious) which is understandable....concerning their actions.
Passing parked vehicles in their lane: check drivers mirror (see a driver waiting to get out?) and the rear window (see passengers beside the door your approaching?). Check for shadow movement around the front and feet underneath when you're far back enough (assessing future hazards) to properly assess.
Cornering: he's allowed to include footage of turns that weren't A+. I wouldn't extrapolate someone's riding habits from a few selected clips, goes against any critical thinking. Wait till he posts a 'How's My Cornering?' video. The only thing I saw 'wrong' was readjusting in a turn (remember the camera isn't pointing forward) which really is just a form of experimentation....read: practice/learning. IF he was riding track aggressive (cameras are great at exaggerating lean angle and proximity) than I'd welcome the criticism, but you're going to need to be more specific in your examples.
Passing: was done safely. Note how much time there was between the time of the pass and the next approaching car in the opposing lane; plenty!
You probably know, but I'm just reassuring: even passing a double yellow isn't always illegal, it's always contextual. If done safely and within reason than it's fine. Not saying you won't get a ticket for speeding, just that such an act of passing isn't automatically considered a safety hazard.

track position or how to corner.
LOL I have ridden with Kargo and he can corner just fine much better than most riders I've rode with this year and he rides a super motard to boot.He could probably teach you a thing or two

Yes in my other video, it was my first time on country roads. I was still getting used to cornering and picking a line.
Speed is another bad habit of mine. :\
Thanks mate, I should've brought my gopro to that ride. They were some of the best roads i've ridden this summer. Hope your trip to PA went well.
