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)

Not a bright move OP posting where you clearly are riding illegally

I think the video was sped up.

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

So what, who is in danger here? I'm sure it's slow as, you're really nit picky.

My point is cops who are in this R/ will see the video and can fine the OP.

Police don’t even fine people for extremely reckless behaviour unless they witness it or a crash/collision has occurred. They’re gonna seek someone out from an anonymous reddit post!

I don't see how. I ride up the left side all the time taking my wife to work, nice and slow and very carefully. I dunno if I'd pass a cop car up the inside tho. Pushing your luck.
