Oh you guys that live out in the open countryside don't know how lucky you are if you have never ridden in Central London. It does teach one some throttle control. I play a game with myself sometimes. See how long I can go without having to put a foot down in slow moving traffic while drifting along at 10mph or less and low revs. It also teaches one how to filter (weave ) in and out of traffic, you soon learn the width of your bike Sometimes it is necessary to go on the other side of the centerline playing chicken with the oncoming traffic. Watch out for them IslandsSounds like hell living down there carl
