This is a really good technique, I have learned from a book. I think it was in the book, "Ride Hard Ride Smart". I wanted to take time to encourage new riders (like myself) to learn to do it, for the sake of safety.

Thanks Glow Guy. The post was fairly meaningless without the link.

I have been doing that for years and it probabely saved my live more then once.
I also like the fact that it does not look agressive so you get more sympathy from the cagers.

I was just trying to pass the ball and I am glad you took it. I am traveling out of town on business, at the present time and was afraid that my explanation would not be adequate. The link gives credit to the author and explains in detail. The practice of Soft Lane Change, seems very, very, important. I hope everyone takes the time to read, study, and practice it, so we can all Ride Hard Ride Smart and Ride Safe!!!
