I'm surprised I have to spell it out for you.

It shows an increase in the number of motorcyclists who are prepared to speak out about irresponsible riding. Peer pressure has made considerable improvement with the problem of drink driving. The same can be done for irresponsible riding.

I would not go on the back of a bike where the potential for the rider to "POP" a wheelie was even a remote possibility. It is called self presevation

Lucky you were on the back or would have been very interesting in Wellsford.

Did you have to stop and pull his upside down bike out of the bushes?

It was a Black Kawasaki ZX-14 with a single sided Yoshimura.

No Nodrog I didn't but we did ride past *that* spot a couple of times. That was the last time I've ventured off-road, and that was some four years ago now.

nice

He was doing 70kph around a bend that all the cars around us were having no trouble maintaining 100kph around. I figured that if I passed him then that by the time we'd gone through a few more corners there would have been some decent distance between us without me having to do anything stupid.

He wasn't riding like a fuckwit until he sped up the inside of me on the straight, after which I followed him til the traffic jam up ahead and then lane split past him - he stayed in the traffic. He just showed a serious lack of skill and judgement for someone riding a "200hp, 300kph+ capable" motorcycle.

As for the the "knocking him out" part... well we've all been keyboard bandits at somepoint, and the most he likely would have got is bit of advice on taking better lines and not taking offence just because you got passed on the open road. I simply did not appreciate his actions which could have put me at risk for no reason other than him feeling like he had something to prove, I just wanted to get on my way without having to see him taken out.

If you were actually talking to the person himself maybe. Not on here it won't. Waste of good forum space.

Lets stop a drunk from driving.....hang on, i'll just whip down to the local internet cafe and write it on a forum.... Nah, can't see that working to well myself!

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the people writing this stuff weren't such bloody hypocrites.
Soon as they chuck something on here a bunch of others remember something equally as stupid that they did themselves.

For far too long motorcyclists have quietly tolerated irresponsible riding for fear that they would be condemned for speaking out against 'the brotherhood'.

Thankfully, that is now starting to change.

Where the hell did you get that idea from. I've always been quite happy to tell someone he is goose as have my friends.
Think you have been mislead a tad.
