How I filter on my Yamaha R1 Through London - Motovlog UK

[@anonimouse8918]

Thanks for this. It's hard to tell ( video distorts speed) but I personally I would be slower at some points and not go for some of the passes you took. Everyone has their own risk reward threshold. However still a useful video with some good points thanks. What I would say tho is for beginners watching this vid, you should start of a lot more conservative than this with bigger margins for error ( your errors and other peoples). Also people starting out ...realy watch out for the sleepy pedestrians walking through trafic and pick your speed so you can stop if they appear from behind that van or truck.

[@TKRydezz]

@@anonimouse8918 thank you. I’m with you 100%. Some of the gaps I make may be done quick or be tight and it’s mostly to illustrate that even on a larger bike like this, if you practice your manoeuvres and take the time to learn your bike, you’d be surprised at what you can safely do. And yes, these sleep walkers pop out at the most random times, so being aware of the pavement traffic and your speed is also a big one.

I have been riding for about 24years and consider my self an experienced rider, however I have enjoyed these videos and defiantly taken some of your advice. Some good tips! thank you keep em coming 🏍️💨

[@TKRydezz]

@@millymoo6575 thank you. I appreciate this a lot. Glad I could offer my perspective and it was of value to you. I’m gonna try to keep up. Things getting busier and I’m new to this but will try

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

I am glad to see your right hand fingers hovering on the brake lever, gives you half a second more time to stop. At 31:50 at the end of the straight just before the M25 I had a blow out on rear tyre of my Thuderace at 120 about 30 years ago, all good, I slammed on front brake to move the weight onto the good tyre and easily made it to the hard shoulder. I had £10,000 in 2 cheques in my shirt pocket for my boss in Gravesend. Our delivery lorry was 2 miles behind me with a HIAB, we craned the bike on, dropped me at a tyre shop in Gravesend and my boss paid for a new rear tyre, win, win. Your riding is bang on brother

[@TKRydezz]

@ninja12lawbreaker make use of every advantage I can get. Quick thinking, i touch on the use of brakes briefly in a short vid about bad weather but its all about being as calm as you can in them situations. Glad it turned out ok and the fact that you had a HIAB on tap is a whole stunt 😎. I appreciate the compliment though bro… I’m a lil way from riding the bike to its potential but God willing 2025 is the year to get some track and stunt days booked up. You still riding, if so, what you got now?

[@KPP365]

Filtering is great when done safety, For me, pedestrians are a big problem in city centres .Crossing the road in between cars and not looking before they cross can lead to an accident. Certain car/ van Etc drivers also don't like filtering and don't understand it's legal. Great video, Great presentation. Great content. STAY SAFE, Bro 😊

[@TKRydezz]

@@KPP365 often crossing with their phones in hand and headphones in. Like some of them have a death wish. I’ve never understood the disdain that some drivers have for riders, if we fit, we pass and get out your way, doesn’t change your journey much if any so why the hate. Thanks and keep safe too

@@Keridus thank you. I prefer running commentary over a voice over to highlight what I can in the moment. That way anything I may have missed can be picked up by everyone and we can all learn/ pick up points together.

[@TKRydezz]

@@simzblack1571 I still might 🤔

[@doghous3]

it's the temp difference. esp when it cold. so annoying and always builds up the most when waiting at lights - just have to crack the lid for a bit.

[@TKRydezz]

@@doghous3 lid pretty much goes up on every traffic light stop before it even starts to appear. But when the Bally is fully over your moth and nose, it’s helps a lot. Disperses your breathing so not as focused and direct.

[@shutinyanks]

R1M coming soon? 😃 You got some skills and confidence, that other rider was hesitant his feet were all over the place leads me to believe he might be a recent pass. I've filtered a handful of times myself as i don't commute just a fair weather rider but i've seen some shocking filtering and a few offs from people going far too fast and taking risks all to save a few seconds as i've caught right back up with them at traffic lights.

[@TKRydezz]

@@shutinyanks R1M…. Might need a few sponsorship’s for that 😅 Thanks bro. Yh he was surely a newer rider. This is why the biggest advice I have for newer riders is the practice there slow manoeuvres on the bike they have (as some only practice on training providers bikes). Helps massively in these situations. And Yh, sometime I’m guilty of flying past, only to be caught at multiple lights only to see the person i passes minutes ago right next to me. So I mostly just cruise with purpose and get there when I get there.

[@doghous3]

i've seen plenty of close calls of bikes filtering and not being aware of the dangers of a side junction - you know it, when you see that gap in the traffic...

[@TKRydezz]

@@doghous3 yup, as aware as I think I am, I still have close calls, but I’m also not a ‘model rider’ in all cases. But see a gap, slow up n tilt your head to get a better view and then carry on if good

@@lawterian he was doing good, I was happy to wait behind him for a long as he was going for it. I’ll never try to rush another rider and put pressure on them (intentionally). I reckon if I gave him a bit more space he may have carried on past the bus, I forget how imposing my bike can be 😅

Enjoyed this video mate, its like on screen learning aha, videos look quality too you using any Specific settings or Nd filters ?

[@TKRydezz]

@@Richieesgarage thanks bro… I’m all over the place with settings and for the most part use auto. I have some ND filters and have presets for them, but with it being overcast, it’s mostly on auto. Once I grab the cams, I might do a quick short on what I’ve got them set up as. But there are far better vids out there on them. I have the DJI action 4 & 5 pro and have been alternating. Now gonna stick with 5 pro forward facing and 4 to face me

[@Richieesgarage]

@@TKRydezz yeah i use the Dji Action 4 i love it, but just trying to fine tune those settings keep forgetting I've got the ND filters on too and then it ruins the video especially when its getting a bit darker. do need to just sit there and test all the settings! but again great video mate channel is picking up quickly! keep it up!

[@Yam_man90]

I was always told you filter through traffic but split lanes at speed when you think of a filter it’s drips through tight gaps where as if your splitting something your opening it up so you can go faster lol

[@TKRydezz]

@@Yam_man90 hmmm interesting. I’ve never actually thought too much about it. I only heard the term splitting from overseas so just took it as the foreign version of filtering. By the name, you sitting on a Yamaha yourself?!?

[@Rezzuy]

Amazing video bro I must say, got a question though. On the motorways when it’s at a start stop rate, is it illegal to filter through the hard shoulder, or even sit on the white line for the hard shoulder and filter?

[@TKRydezz]

@@Rezzuy the hard shoulder is only used for emergencies and if instructed to do so by road signs/ notices or emergency services. I also wouldn’t ride any white/ painted line and it is the part of the road with the least traction, so easy for the tyres to slip and you increase the chances of falling. Also, there’s a lot of rubbish that gets pushed over into the hard shoulder so that’s where your likely to find loses gravel and things that’s people have thrown out the window etc. I’d just take time and go between the cars down the centre or on a 3 lane motorway/ dual carriage, between the middle and right lane (dependant on road conditions and reason for the traffic ie accident or lane closure etc) So illegal, can’t say for sure but you’d get pulled over if seen doing it

[@KentRoads]

lane filtering and lane splitting are different

[@TKRydezz]

@@KentRoads I’ve heard. Filtering is between ‘slow’ moving traffic while splitting is when riding faster, usually on dual carriage ways/ motorways…. Is that right or is there more to it?

Lane Splitting is what GixxerBrah does, Filtering is what Beans on Toast does

How do tourists avoid being robbed at hotels and restaurants in London? That would be more interesting to learn. I would never bring mi bike to London. It would be stolen one of the first days.

[@TKRydezz]

As far as bringing your bike into London, if parking up, it’s all about multiple layers of security. I did have at least 3 until I forgot to shut my bag and I lost my chain and disk lock. But a decent tracker, a couple decent locks at least and some good wit, you’ll stand a chance. As for hotels and restaurants I’ll be interested to know what’s really going on there.

Nice video but your lane splitting was an accident waiting to happen. Too fast and just waiting for someone to pull across you and take you out. That being said I enjoyed the video 👍

[@TKRydezz]

@@FlyingBikerMan my first compliment sandwich 😆 thanks though appreciate it. I can’t promise I’ll do better but I’m gotta be true to how some realistically ride (with the use of AI) while doing the best I can to share my thoughts and experiences. One of the biggest message I have is to ride to your ability and to learn as much as you can about your bike and then weigh up your risks vs your rewards and be content and take full responsibility for what comes.

[@FlyingBikerMan]

@ I’ve read my comments back and it sounds a bit harsh. Apologies… I was just trying to say that from the video it looked high risk when you was lane splitting during the motorway phase and all I could see was a careless car driver about to cut across you. That being said I do the same so I shouldn’t judge and that’s why we love motorbikes. A bit of risk and feeling of freedom. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@TKRydezz]

@@FlyingBikerMan all good, I didn’t see it as such. If I did I’d very blunt about it or limited in response. All filtering to a degree is high risk and yes thats one of the reasons why we love bikes. I appreciate you support and I’ll try to keep them coming… 👊🏾
