Are you aggressive or competitive?

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Not competitive. Mellow and relaxed.

Thats why I ride a Gixxer....... .............

I find I ride a lot faster on the road when im by myself because I dont have any body to keep me in check or tell me im being stupid

Ya know, I'm the opposite. I find security in the fact that there are mates around to pull my dumb arse out of the ditch and call an ambulance if it all goes tits up.

Plus, most of my mates have my respect and I know that if they tell me to pull my head in then they would have good reason for it.... aye Saul

I ride a Honda, so the only thing I pass is wind... Oh, and gixxers which have crashed by the side of the road.

Asshole! you could stop and offer me a hand to pick my fucken bike up.

I haved castigated myself for my aggressive behaviour, but looking back I realise that in fact it's because I'm competitive.

Yeop me too.

Yeah I'm fine by myself but also get the urge to pass everything in front of me for some reason.
Sometimes I'll see a vehicle, a dot on the horizon, and have to catch it and pass it!!!

Holy crap, thats exactly what i do!

And was doing all of today, i dont know why, but hell, its fun.

Im aggressive in my own little world, which may be mild in someone elses. Im competitive with myself and others, but Im not good enough to compete. At least, I havent found others just like me. Doesnt it come down to measure and match in both areas? Or is this a sense of how you feel? Put it this way, I love it when I get to truly compete, and I love feeling aggressive, especially on a bike like mine (oh, and the other rides I have the good fortune to use at times). That, to me, means I get to experience both feelings, suits me

I know where you're coming from!
I ride like a complete nanna all the time, but am really slow when I'm on my own and tend to pick the pace up a little more with others who ride better than me, and can become a little aggressive when there are cars in front, or right up my date for that matter!
I do my best riding when it's just me and my hubby as I know he's there either right behind me or a bit in front, and I think this a safety thing of "If I stuff up, I know he's there to help me out". In these instances I tend to push myself a little harder, but also know when to back off, and I tend to back off and watch my riding even more when there are others around so that they don't either follow my crappy riding or think "good god, look at those shocking lines and abrasive braking'!!

Are you agressive or competitive?

No

Couldn't give a rats about getting there first, like to cruise. Now all I need to do is get a proper cruiser...

[Toaster]

Mine's bigger than your's is. So yes, competitive.

Mrs Kendog Ive finally learned, with the people I ride with regularly... they are way better than me, choose to be ahead or behind, and if behind, will choose to blow me off efficiently, safely, and with style anytime any place, so Ive now learned not to look in my mirrors and worry about what they think, take the opportunity to get some good feedback about what they see in your riding, so you can work on enjoying it even more.
I like it when the good riders hang around for a while and make it a competition for me, its fun and I learn lots

Yes, the gixxer is a very mellow and relaxed bike A little like a salt water crocodile at times.

I have the good fortune of riding with a very competent bunch, and it's great that the aggressive and competitive behaviour never surfaces.

However, twice lately, when I've been on my own, I've been taken on by boy racers, and it's been bloody good fun playing them at their own game

Both times though, it's all been in good fun and at the end of it it's been thumbs up all round.

Nice.

We should work out a ride that gets our groups together one Saturday.

[86GSXR]

Definitely It would be good to catch up with you guys again, I'll ask around and see what we can come up with.

Passive agressive by nature, I think. Maybe a be schitzo as well. (Remember that old disney carton were once goofy got into his car and it was all on?) But I'll have to consult my invisable freind to comfirm that.

Generally prefer riding in my own wee world. Don't mind group rides though. Some great local riders. It's nice meeting new folk, even though I generally forget their names.
