They don't know it by the name 'sun' down there. It's called 'The God of Fire'.

I headed over to the Rapa on Saturday around that time (it was lovely and drizzly huh?), and did pass a couple of bikes along the way - but only on straights. And I am on a curiser, so pleased that it wasn't me! Wouldn't attempt that anyway, as I would be expecting the rider in front to be focussing on their lines into a corner, as I would be. Cheeky monkey

Back on topic - yes you have right to choose line and stick to it and any dick that passes on corner needs to grow up. But well done for seeinh hazard and helping him -problem is he/she may now expect it.

McJim should be here to defend Invercargill, the Riviera of Antarctica.

I wear ugly black leathers that are covered in bug spooge and ride a sprotsbike. So I guess I am OK huh?

There's a bunch of road warriors out there who should really just take their shit riding... oops I mean Sunday cruising, to the track. Maybe they're afraid you'll beat them to the cafe and drink all the latte before they get their squid suits off.

On the straights, on the right side of the road is the only way you should overtake...

Bullshit. Often...a clean, on the inside pass is the safest and best way to go by somebody...yes...even on the street. If you can see through the corner, and the rider in front has comitted to their line...there's nothing wrong with it at all. It's no different to passing them on a straight. What if they're on said straight...and as you go to pass them suddenly veer to the right to avoid something on the road? A collision. More often than not...a rider has scanned the road surface ahead through the corner and would've made their line choice accordingly.

IF they see something on their line in the corner...they'll pick it up 9 times out of ten and go round it...not pull it tighter and crash into you.
