[Bike] Filtering at red lights

I've started doing this most of the time now. I couldn't just sit back, in the queue, while other bikes filtered past me. Sick of it.

One of the first things I noticed was, after splitting, I feel obligated to speed. If I split to the front, and then accelerate to sit on the speed limit, the cars I split past are going to be overtaking me. That's just silly. So I feel like I have to do 5 to 10 k's over the limit.

The other thing is aggressive bogans. I'm dreading the day that I push up in front of the lead car, which is being driven by "Haydenn" and his girlfriend "Shyanne". He's had a shitty day putting up scaffolding, he can't find any weed to buy for tonight, he's got little "Brayden" and "Jai" arguing in the back of the car, he's all out of VB, and now this clown on the motorcycle is pushing in front of him! YEAH NAH, MATE!! GET F*&%ED MATE!! And before I know it, he's floored it, and his SS Commodore (which he's struggling to pay off) is going to sideswipe me on his way past!

My bike isn't fast enough to beat an aggressive driver.

What happened to the good old 90's, when a bogan would be stuck driving a rusted-out Corolla or his mates shit-box van? Now they're getting paid crazy money, and they're rolling around in $60,000 "performance utes". Don't even get me started on the utes. Why do they pay more, for a car that seats less people, and a tray in the back that they're never going to fill with tools? With the $3,000 metallic paint job, they're never going to drive it onto the building site. "But it looks fully sick parked outside the Wanneroo pub, mate. And wait until I get that finance approved for the 20 inch chrome wheels!" For crying out loud, finish paying off your swimming pool, or actually invest some of your inappropriately high wages. Put something away for your kids education. You know damn well you're going to sell this ute in 2 years, take a massive loss, and then buy a jetski anyway.

And the suits at Holden start thinking, "Hey, let's take this already-impractical vehicle, which is rear-wheel drive yet has about 5% of it's weight on the back wheels, and fit a high-powered V8. People will buy that." Crazy. Even more crazy is that people bought them. By the thousands.

Wow I got off topic here.
