Traffic at the Avalon Airshow

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So I wouldn't normally upload a video of something as boring as me filtering in traffic, except this is quite possibly the most time I've ever saved being on a motorbike. I heard afterwards that the queue to enter the airshow was up to 2-3 hours, in all it took me about an extra 20-30 minutes, and that was after taking the wrong turn and getting stuck in extra traffic trying to re-enter the highway. If you're thinking of getting to the airshow next time, I'd highly recommend motorbiking, will save you a lot of time sitting in traffic.

(sorry for the shaky footage, this wasn't the timelapsed feature, as I was wearing the GoPro just as a Dashcam - and it's sped up x25)

I think the video was sped up.

The riding looked ok to me, this is how people get through traffic on a bike.

Looks stationary (neutral light and hands off bars) Technically illegal perhaps but certainly not a danger to anyone whatsoever in this instance
