Do you commute like this?

I like the TDM 900 (my current fave dual purpose). However that's another story.

There is a terrific review on Youtube of the TDM at:

(Yamaha TDM 900 Review 2012 if the link doesn't work) 

What amazes me more than the TDM  - forget the TDM! - is the way this rider commutes around town and is so relaxed (he must be a jet pilot)  .
If you get a sec, would you have a look at the clip?

Please let me know if you reckon this man's commuting style is....well normal....and sustainable ?

Holy Cow! It frightens me watching it.

Cheers, GG

City bike riders ,they can have it. I see them in Briso weaving in and out like that . I guess you get used to it , i'll take the car .

Although I didn't watch all of the 14+ minutes of it, I did notice car drivers seem to just accept him. Try overtaking over the centre line with oncoming traffic in Australia and you'll get all sorts of abuse.

The roads are a lot narrower there so where we would normally filter between cars he needs to go on the wrong side of the road .................traffic didn't seem too thick for most of that video.
I think if your going to sit it traffic when there is an opportunity to filter on the bike , you may as well take the car .

Always like that in Melbourne

Yep - that's how I ride in Edinburgh... gotta be on alert though!

 Traffic might be, but the attitude isn't
