Use the force Mr Yokai, oh, and getting a bike with a few more horses may help.

This happen to me on the MR's Sunday ride. Can not remember which one of you it was, but please do not do this. You will just confuse an annoy the following riders.

This *might* have been me. :disapint:
At one point I was stuck behind a car with a few bikes behind me, and I flicked my indicator on to overtake, but chickened out as I was pulling out... just wasn't enough road before the next blind corner. Not sure if this is what you were talking about, but if it was then sorry! I don't indicate right to signal people to pass, and if I'm letting someone pass I do keep left... so if it was me it wasn't intentional.

No. At the time it was on the straight with no on coming traffic and no bike/vehicle right in front of the right indicating bike. The rider slowed and was indicating right and I could not see what the fu*k it was for apart from that the rider wished me to pass. All I was thinking was what the fu*k was that about and, after waiting a bit for the rider's next move, I passed him.

unlessi ts real wet, cause it gets tad slippery on paint with tires the same size as my mountain bike.

You would be suprised how many motorcyclists have come to a sticky end in the manner you just discribed, a two bike head on. Sheeeesh there are some stupid little hormons out there

Mikey, two things.

1st, don't take people so seriously. Its all in good humour (re Aarons post.) Lighten up.

2nd, I hope like fuck you were joking about the way you ride. I don't know the roads you ride but have you ever seen a tour bus round a tight bend on a hill? Watched a mate almost lose his head because of this, even though he was well within his lane.
