As a 125 rider, after our sessions all you here is those dang 125's buzzed us up!
man if i colected a dollar coin for everytime i heard that i would be a millionaire!
well people you see.... that we arent just trying to cut you up its just we need our corner speed to keep our bikes going relatively quick!
you get the odd rider rip up the inside but, im sure they arent trying to scare you!

So wot are your guys thoughts on this?

Try racing a sidecar - you're not a bike or a car!!!

Harden up and stop looking for acceptance. Thats what I think.

As another 125 rider I can see what your saying, people dont like me passing "close" but then if I don't pass they'l hold up my corner speed so I cant pass them at all, so they can either get used to it or just let me past down the straights, balls in their court then :P

I agree but as riders we should know that the owness is on the passing rider meaning you need to do it cleanly and if theres a crash its your fault,

I know what its like and yes some guys you cango up the inside at speed but sometimes I reckon a few guys need to calm down theres alot of JR riders and we are scaring them,

I know how to ride a 125 and corner speed is crucial but safety for the other rider is critical,

I dont have any complaints,

And yip I hear it to, but most guys are joking with me when they say it

Might I refer you to the eternal concepts of guru Chopper Reid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Apsh7Cjzzw)...in summary HTFU.

Personally I like having 125's around, it reminds me of the Australian Outback....which can be rrrrrrrrooooilly dangerois!

Dont pay any attention to those adult bikes out there, you keep zinging away and one day, when you're big and fat enough, you'll need to have a bigger bike like us.

might I add that I realy do enjoy passing F3 bikes, because I can tell they think they'l just blast past on the next straight, they do but after theyve given me the slipstream I need, and pass them back!, they get quite upset about being passed by a 125 down the straight on their 650 hahahaha, did I mention how much fun that is!

oh 125's are great like that! (so it's no mystery why they don't like the 125 riders, but the aim of racing is to finish in front of them)
