    On the first bit? Yes he was, and it didn't suit me, which is why I commented on that particular incident in the first place in that other thread.
    On the second bit?..Don't know, don't care, if you going to ride like an unnerving noob in front of me, don't be ''suprised'' if I eventually (where safe to) go passed you.

    The question in the first post was...''Would it be prudent or advisable...to brake on this piece of road''
    I didn't ask for a complete analysis on what happened between myself and another rider on a previous occassion, which you seem to be centered on for some unknown reason?
    So if you could stick to the topic question, that'll be spiffing.
    Quite happy to keep up the amusment on the 'Spring is here' thread... if you know what Imean?

    THAT would depend entirely on the riders skill level ... and experience.

    Your question is a "How long is a piece of string" type question ... In an attempt to quantify an opinion you hold on the matter.

    At the end of the day ... it is up to the individual rider to decide. At the time ... and on the day they find themselves in that (or similar) situation.

    If you get angry at other rider/drivers actions on the road ... you are more at risk of doing something silly(er) than him ...
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    Full throttle, on one wheel and while giving the finger as I pass....

    May Bob Tooman would have an answer, as the waikato region has red HP patrol car instead of the nationwide white ones.

    A red horse? That would be a sunburnt zebra. Black and white and red all over or is that a newspaper? I think I am posting in the wrong thread ....
    if you know what I mean.
