I understand perfectly what your filtering law and speed is all about. I wanted to see what riding 18 mph for a bit was like since I never do that in everyday riding. Try riding 100 yards at 18 mph sometime. It takes for ev er. Kinda like a slow race at a field meet.
Sorry, I haven't made myself clear. I have filtered at speeds of up to 30kph for kilometre after kilometre after kilometre. Often. I haven't tried yards or mph since 1970, but I imagine the effect would not be much different
. Believe me, when filtering through stationary or very slow moving bumper to bumper traffic 30kph seems like supersonic flight. You should try it sometime. Try it on a very hot day. You will have the added bonus of air flowing over you and through the oil cooler. Luxury. And not only that you will be at home having your second cup of tea before the first cager you passed is off the freeway. Cheers
