How long can you ride behind a cager befor you feel the need to overtake.

[crystalball]

I find it very hard to ride behind a cager for to long,

On the highway if they are doing 100 to 105 I want to overtake.

On the motorway on the way to work. I try my best not to but just end up using my own lane which is inbetween the cages or weaving around them.

On the city street 50km area's I will be happy to follow a cage unless its doing dead on 50km

Now this is all good as long as its done in a passive way. What gets to me and I find is the hardest part of riding a motorcycle for me is when its done in a agressive and dangerous way.

Most times I tell myself to ride safe but somehow the agression appears and takes over. Next year I am thinking of getting a gsxr 1000 k6 or k7 I know this wont help but a big part of me says yay this will be fun. I know a bike is easy to get in and out and around and past a cage. I also know if ya come off a bike its gona hurt or even be worse.

One day I am going to learn to ride safely and in a law abidding way all the time. How I don't know, mayby by the law or mayby a accident or hopefully mayby by muturity with bikes.

Yes riders say only f wits and d heads e.t.c ride dangerously. Honestly we all do it sometimes but how do we controll it so we are in contoll of it.

Ride behind? Is that like a reach around?

Just remember cars are mobile chicanes

I can't easily cruise at 100kmh because the bike is fucked and runs rough when it's not being thrashed. There's my excuse.

Whats this "Riding behind cars" thing you speak of ?

I thought the object was to pass EVERYTHING .

Motorways suck as you get turbulence from cars unless you are 50m behind & if that is the case some other cage will take the opportunity to take said gap .

I'm fine cruising behind a cage, unless it is going under the speed limit. I get so sick of cages going 80km/h in 100km/h zones. Wonder how they would like it if I overtook them and went 20km/h less than they want to go and not let them past?

You would probably get run over....

Might try it in my rusty cage then haha

I stay behind cages for a loooong time without overtaking. Riding a GN does that to you.

[Oakie]

Can do it all day long in the right circumstances and if I feel like it.

[bogan]

Bout 10k speed difference, or when a passing lane comes along. Otherwise I will just follow along for a while.

Maybe do yourself and us a favor and hang up your boots until you get that aggression sorted, not a good way to ride for either safety or enjoyment.

Suzuki riders ... a common problem for them ...

However ... honda riders do usually like to be behind. (if it's their turn to be behind)

Depends on my mood. Sometimes content to cruise, other times I'll pass. This is for only on the open road though, around town I don't pass.

My god, that is a very sensible answer Mr Brown ;D

I know. Obviously not feeling well. Maybe I need to rediscover myself.
