Isn't that the default speed on the M25?I did have a woman open her door on the M25 once while she was stationary,

What if there's on-coming car? The purpose of dotted line is to say overtaking is permitted when safe. So in this case, I guess the motorbike is using this bit of highway code.First one is, as long as there isn't a solid white line in the road
Thanks.

But on-coming cars mean overtaking is not safe, so surely should not be permitted?

Cant do that with my new bike, no clutch!First one is, as long as there isn't a solid white line in the road, second one would mean they are probably traveling in excess of the speed limit, so no.
I did have a woman open her door on the M25 once while she was stationary, and I was doing about 5-10 mph between lanes 2 & 3. I stopped in time but let the bike roll right up to her open door, clutch in, at about 10k rpm. She was rather startled, my GSX-R could be rather loud........
You just need to learn how to ride it properly and you can do that too....Cant do that with my new bike, no clutch!
OK SmartyPants, pull up to car door, bang the mode selector into N and rev the nuts off it (all 6750rpm of them), probably sound like a sewing machine at those revs.You just need to learn how to ride it properly and you can do that too....
Does it sound like this?...OK SmartyPants, pull up to car door, bang the mode selector into N and rev the nuts off it (all 6750rpm of them), probably sound like a sewing machine at those revs.
and pray it doesn't blow up or slip into gear all by itself

My GT1050 had a heavy clutch, ok not Laverda Jota heavy but still a real pain in the wrist after a few hundred gear changes in London (and I'm getting old ) and it was top heavy and ......Now, I can really get with having a car that's got no clutch (mine's an 8 speed auto with paddles), but a bike? That's sacrilege!! Saying that, other than pulling away, I rarely used the clutch on my bikes going up gears...

So I got a Honda NC 750X DCT - it's so much nicer, really, it's made me enjoy 2 wheels again.
Do you have a gear change that you manually change without a clutch, or is it a "pure" auto?
