He blasted off ahead around the twisties - caught R1 and went passed him. R1 pinned his machine and caught him, then this dude pulls away again, then he and R1 have an almighty race on until they hit the straights, then R1 on his R1 streaked away.
A damned impressive rider this guy was.
Incidently I slowed down at one stage when my radar detector went off, and almost everyone else except me (that I've spoken to) got pinged, some doing 150+, by an unmarked van (red Toyota).
R1 is currently saving hard to fix his bike, which appears to have some rather worrying noises coming from deep inside its guts. He's around. And no - somehow (...) he didn't get a ticket....
It's not the bike you ride it's the rider that rides.
