just got back from a belting 60 mile run out wearing yellow hi vis jacket - got pulled over cos my right rear indicator wasnt working - plod biker! 
commended me on making myself visible and told me to keep my speed down as he'd been behind me a few miles and i was pushing it a bit.
anyway, great fun - i rode along with him a few mile through congleton towards macclefield (heading for c&f)
and i can honestly say i was choking laughing at the cars moving out the way.
i swear i will put my go pro on and show you what i mean, it's funny as crouton.
plod turned off just outside congleton and waved me off!
decided not to do c&f so i went back on the m6, same again, parting of the red sea, drivers tucking in and indicating left as soon as they saw me.
trick is dont get too close so they can see im not plod, just come up fast behind them and they sh1t bricks lol - can see them swapping between rear mirror & speedo! then they look well pissed off when i blat past them
passed a guy on a yellow gaytona broke down on the other side, so i turned off at poplars services and went back to see if he was ait. he'd run out of petrol 1/2 mile past the services lol... offered to run him for some fuel but he said it's ok, someone's coming out for me....
no biggy, but don't say i didn't offer lol
just an excuse to stay out a bit longer and piss some more drivers off!!!
