That explains a lot--Um that wasnt 313 km/h it was 31.3 --that ol maryjuwana sure dose stuff ya sense of speed.
As I've said before the US air force has trained chimps to fly in a straight line at High speed.
They found that the chimps had promlems though turning corners
Get My point .
Ive recently seen a guy on a RG150 destroy guys on much bigger bikes
in some semi tight windies.
Oh and to answer the question --Im so darn slow none can be fagged waiting for me

I usually just sit behind them. But when I do I make myself known to them in case I want to pass. Unlike the wankers on the BMW's that hooned past me on the Waipu straight's, causing me to want to change me undies.

If slower than me, will sit behind for a couple of mins, then make my way onwards and past!

Much the same. If I'm just cruising and a bike passes I offen change mode and chase/follow them for bit. Really fast riders will leave me standing still think ether:

Fu*k that rider is a nut case. No way I would stick my head that far over the centreline on a blind right hander.
Wow, fu*k that rider makes those corners look so smooth. Wish I could ride like that.

Want-a-be fast riders just might find they are put in their place.

PS: if I'm on my home roads and I slow down, beaware that I may know something you don't (eg. road known to be cop heavy, road often has pea metal in that corner, there has been the odd cow on the road around that corner.).

If slower, I usually sit behind for a coupla mins to check them out ( ala Biff Baff), the make my way onwards and past!

Ditto. Though I found Biff Baff kinda hard to get past in a straight line- fuggen Blackbirds and Busa's, I have to ring the Fizzers kneck to get past coming out of a corner...mutter mutter
Oh and if they're behind me and obviously faster I'll make sure they can get by.

Not to worry Ant. If they keep that up on those straights the cops will soon have some more bikes to sale cheap.

i hate the dickheads that see you coming then suddenly speed right up going into a tight section leaving you to sit behind them till it's safe to pass. when overtaking another bike i like to give us both as much room & notice as possible. the same goes if someone wanted to overtake me. courtesy is the key word for me.

What on earth is "decent" riding when another biker is behind?
Id have thought it more important that the rider behind should know how to position him/herself in relation to the rider infront. ie keep to the left and not too close so that the leading rider can see clearly behind before overtaking. In other words, let the leading rider use all the road and take his or her lines appropriately regardless of standard and ability.

I have a top of the range radar detector that also senses female hormones. Oh, and I check out riders buts....Aaron's is cute.

I've never been a balls out racer, so I'm the annoying bastard that flies by you on a straight then gets in your face on tight twisties. As much as I love my Bird, and as fast as she is, even around long sweepers, just like a Busa she gets tied up easily on tight twisties.

But I'll happily sit behind slower bikes like R1's and Gixxer 1k's (

) on the straights just so that I don't pi$$ them off around the twisties.
