dumb question

[newbiker90]

Right so manual bikes have clutch and to rev on the move you pull the clutch in and give the throttle a few twists, REV REV!!

But on a DCT bike there is no clutch, so can you rev them whilst on the move? i.e. not in neutral

[SometimesSansEngine]

Is this to warn others of your presence?

If yes, use the horn, that's what it's there for.

[Tiggie]

it would be the same outcome as doing it on a regular geared bike without disengaging the clutch. In other words the potential to go splat

Ah, what you do is to carry a couple of bricks to put under the frame lifting the back wheel off the ground. Then you can go all the crazy frog you like.

Do not care, engines are wonderful especially when they are given a couple of revs and admit it or not everyone has done it

1) Revving doesn't give you a right to filter

2) Filter like that and you'll soon meet the tarmac

1) Never said it does - but it works

2) He has been doing it for 5 years and never met the tarmac, same as RJ and many others

Learning a lot from watching youtube then?

You're going to take safe riding advice from people that post videos to YouTube with an aim of monetising them? And even if they haven't, you think you're them?

If you like I could post a load of youtube vids where people riding like that come a cropper if you like?

You love putting words into peoples mouth? It may seem unsafe to people but they are actually aware of when and when not to do it. It is just standard in london, obv its not recommended, but they are not filtering blindly, they have perception of London traffic. I can show you many videos of people filtering correctly and still getting smacked

You're doing your usual thing of having zero experience and trying to tell others who have experience the way it is.

I know from my time here that this forum is a great place to seek help, advice and guidance. The thing with advice is you can chose what you do with it:

1) take it on board

2) consider it, find it a bit interesting, maybe do something with it maybe not

3) disregard it

From reading your posts from afar, you sit in camp 3. Every time.

Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to stop you getting hurt. I'm not telling you *not* to filter, but you've sat and watched a load of YouTube videos and clearly already thinking "I can do a bit of that".

From RJ's own website:

 

How long have you been riding?

20+ years, not consecutive.

Have you had any major accidents?

Yes, 3.

How come you are so confident while filtering?

Practice, and being an Enduro rider at heart helps a lot with bike control and hazard perception.

 

You're watching the videos of someone with decades of riding experience and enduro motorbiking experience and saying "well they haven't come off badly filtering".

And one more bit from his site...

 

Any advice to potential future riders??

We never stop learning.

 

Are you definitely in the right mindset to know that once you sling your leg over a bike you are going to need to learn a lot? Only you can answer that.

Someone is teaching grannies to suck eggs again

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Did someone mention eggs? Did they get salad cream this time?

[Tiggie]

is this another food related thread hijacking I sense?

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Nope definitely not mentioning biscuits and will get straight back to the topic...

Anyone dunking hob nobs in good coffee should be condemned to filtering the.North Circular on a.Gold Wing.

I like topics. They dunk well in tea.
