Do you pull over for motorcyclists?

Nope. If you've ever driven on the road to Oban you'll know why - 90% of the bikers on that road are utter ***** who drive like complete idiots.

well it's not always possible, as soon as i take one hand of the bars i loose my clutch/break which in slow moving traffic is not a good idea for smooth riding.

i always try to thank them but it's not always possible.
 
I just don't see why I should move over and out of the way just because they are on the bike, i've got other things to look out for, like mums in 4x4's trying to kill me, like I said, if i was a bike owner i'm sure it would be a different story, no disrespect or anything :) .

Its hardly a big chore, moving the car approx 1ft to the left :p
 
If it's feasible for me to pull to one side to let them pass, I will.

I've been thanked on many occasions, but I do understand that sometimes it's just not safe to lift their hands to acknowledge.
 
I do, but then again I'm a biker. :) I sometimes have a play with them just to hear them cane it on the motorway, but only when I know it's safe to do so, but I always let 'em past, or at least let them know that I've seen them.
 
I always move over to the left if it's a proper bike and not a scooter thing. Never get any acknowledgements though :(
 
Always pull over when im in a car, if i see them coming long enough and cant move ill indicate to let them know ive seen them.

it does not make any difference to you if the biker filters past you does it?
I Get quite sick of car drivers deliberately blocking me getting past for no other reason it seems other than they are sick of being stuck in the same traffic day in day out. I always thank drivers who move over a little to let me past.
 
Yep always.

And get thanked by all of them, they must be quite suprised to be let past by a arrogant bmw driver/boy racer saxo driver/idiot white van man :D
 
I don't block them, I just don't go out of my way to pull over for them, if they can filter past without bothering me too much then fair play :) .

Fair enough, as said bikers have no problem with cars not moving we will just get by anyway (without being stupid lol) aslong as nobody blocks us on purpose theres no problem, but of cource moving your car 1 foot to the left if that helps us out a lot.
 
I always pull over for motorbikers, they usually give a hand signal for thanks oo, they're thin vehicles too so no point letting them stay in your rear mirror wondering where they might be at the next corner etc - safer to just let them past.

I never let moped riders pass though, they're far too noisy and impatient for me to waste my time letting them pass.

Stoopid moped riders,
 
I pull over to the right on the motorways and indicate to the right too to get my intentions across. Most seem to understand and filter past.
