Ever heard the term 'Ride your own Ride' hotshot?
Busa guy has just as much right to ride how ever he wants, just like yourself.
You had a number of chances to get by (your hand gesture says so) but it appears you chose not to use any of those chances for whatever reason.

i was riding my own ride, there was no hand gesture, i think i looked at my glove at some point, didnt say anything to the busa guy, i passed him when it was nice and safe to do so, he was the one who had a cry on here about my riding an made up a pile of shit,
it was just perfect timing that i had a camera on my helmet to show how full of shit his story was..

Nice road indeed. I think the moral of the story is this...

Rossi you were riding like a bit of a cock IMHO, it may well be just how you roll - I don't care seeing as you're not on my island. You might think pulling wheelies on the open road is pretty cool but a large percentage of society unfortunately doesn't agree. I admire a good wheelie myself but have had reason in the past to pay the consequences for someone elses fun, which sucked arse. Time and place & all that - don't act like a clown on the jewel of the local riding crown as this kind of activity generates po-po activity.

I think you could have passed 300W an several occasions on that vid but I also think he could have made more effort to pull over if your riding behind him was bugging him as his post suggests.

Let's see the downhill run. Your lines on the last couple of corners were very interesting and as it stands: You're both fucking slow

he was the one who made up a pile of shit about my riding on that day.. all i said was if someone is sitting behind you and looks like they wanna pass the good guy thing to do is pull over and let them. dont be a fuckwit and have a cry on a bike website about it and make up lies for some strange reason..

Haha im just winding you up, although if you ride that road often you get to know where to come out of corners fast to get ready to make a pass.
He didnt create any passing opportunities like he said he did, didnt even slow down for you in the slow vehicle bay.

I doubt it came as any surprise.

Looked to me that the 'Busa rider is a smooth and courteous rider.

but hey if your in chch and wanna teach me a few things by all means look me up

**rustic101** · 2nd May 2012, 19:26

I'm far from an expert, but there seemed to be plenty of opportunities to pass that bike in front. You appeared to be a fair way back, seemed to have poor lines and had poor control of the clutch as the front wheel kept coming up.

Its like rugby really, you can't score if you're not holding the ball and going forward.

Nice piece of road though.

Racing lines and road lines are totally different. If you want to learn the difference PM me and I'll hook you up with an instructor down in Xch. First observed ride is free and quite humbling.
