HTFU is fine....I can take a scare as much as anyone... Point is this guy endangered my life and quite possibly the life of others HTFU is not gonna help me survive a crash

But it didn't happen did it. We could all live in the past over and over again but that wont help, will it?
BTW Did you get the Licence plate?

And before you ask yes I have had plenty of scares and a few bins. But as someone else mentioned previousily it does make you stronger if you can get over it.
If I have a problem with someone endangering my life I make sure they know about it..one way

or another

No. Because GSXR roughly equals high speed performance (once you get above the 250's anyway). Maybe you should trade in for a cruiser?

I also like to ride safely. When its the right time'n'place I also like to give my bike some time in its element.

Everyone slice'n'dices every now and then. No ones perfect... What goes round comes round. Just to rail off a few cliches.

I'm sure I will to and I probably will end up with a cruiser and sport bike. I got no problem taking risks but I never intentionally endanger someones life and the only reason that guy is still breathing is cause I saw him coming . He is lucky I'm not suicidal cause one flick of the bars and we would both be gone. Anyhow saw him again on the way home from work yesterday. It's a new black ninja 250 nice looking bike but been told mine is faster so I slept with a smile. If I get a chance to talk to him filling up one day I'm gonna point that out or maybe scream it out as I cut past him

The open road drivers have to be the worst case of not driving to the conditions. I have posted about this before, but I think the defacto speed limit on the open road is 80kph. Drives me spare when stuck in my car behind people that simply cant get up to speed. All the signs telling you to slow down are a joke, doubt you could even get up to 100 most days.

I currently travel 17kms to work on open country roads. The speed limit imposed for part of it is 80kph. Everyday I find people creeping along at between 60 and 70, forget ever getting close to 80. The same applies once the road becomes 100kph, except this time I am travelling at 80. Drives me nuts.

Clearly another reason for maintaining good situational awareness. Knowing a bike is coming past you don't swerve into their path, just as you would choose to swerve instead of brake hard when you know there is a truck tailgating you.

Which is why it was in your original post right? NOT...

You were offended that he rode faster than you, and maybe gave you a scare, came on here to bleat on about it, found no sympathy, so have now come up with a new allegation.

Are you or are you not, Mr Breed, a nana rider and a crybaby?

Man, I've been watching too many legal-dramas...

Obviously not with you on it...

Having a bike with more HPs means nothing, NOTHING at all... A skilled rider on an fxr150 would leave me for dead on my 650 on a windy piece of road.

And after reading my bleating crybaby post (which you obviously feel is a complete waste of time) you still wasted you time by replying. and achieved nothing. Well done

Maybe if you care to learn something from people's responses to your post, then the replies wouldn't have been for nothing...

HOWEVER... even if you don't, this is KB, who cares if it's all for nothing?!?

Reason I wrote that, was because heading down to THE mighty towelronga two weekends ago, I was riding through the gorge and I was held up by a motorcyclist, yep, a motorcyclist.
I had just passed a truck and several cars (who had all made room for me), yet mr homo fag on his big silver/grey sport tourer (not sure what the hell it was, and yes he definately saw me) decided that though he had no interest in passing anyone of the 4 cars in front of him, he would'nt be polite and move over for me either, he used his whole lane constantly.....swerving left to right (fine but wave me past FFS!) I passed him over the double lines after about 2mins of this shit, then pulled back into the left lane straight in front of him and passed the cars legally inside the yellows as the cars moved over for me.....

Go figure a motorcyclist of all people not letting me past.....then the cars in front of him giving me enough space to get through without crossing the lines.....

Hence I put that in.....so yes, the right hand lane is big enough, anus face, but not always useable on a narrow road with cars coming the other way.
