Didn't realise the pointy 650 was that slow.

[21QUEST]

I was sat at the of lights on Kennington Park Road (next to Oval station in London) and heading North towards Clapham waiting for the light to change.

As you do(well I do anyway) you try and make some space for other bikes. Along comes a rider on black pointy SV650 who proceeds to go past all the stopped bikes and plonks himself in front. I'm thinking maybe you know something I don't but no sweat. light change , I set off (Not too briskly) and as about to pull to the right I hear the revs on the pointy rising rapidly and he's alongside me and edging it. 'Silly bugger you' I thought and wacked it open , snicked it into second then third leaving him choking on the fumes from my blue curvy a$$.
Yep , know it's not big or clever but sometimes you go to draw a line somehow.

Next set of lights and light turned red so I stopped and made sure there was enough room for him to edge in front of the car. Looked across just incase I was mistaken with my earlier assesment of him but the rider just kept looking straight on . At the point I though 'indeed a muppet'

So if you are the rider on the black pointy , wears spectacles ,d ark visor and wearing a high viz bib 'don't be muppet'. You give the other SV riders a bad name :lol: :wink:

.. and when you crash into the back of a stationery car by gunning it from the lights while rubbernecking the "muppet" we can all point and laugh at you as we drive past.

It was a black bike - Of course it was slow - Black ones are the slowest by far - Blue the quickest(obviously) - This is VERY well documented!

My resrricted sv can be ragged away from the lights as quick as a full power one!! Its only when you hit about 60 that the bike starts to lag behind

May be he wasnt trying to "race" you but just likes revving his bike. Once he reached his wanted speed he didnt feel the need to "wack it open"

I wasn't racing him :) but of course it might just be co-incidence that we both like revving out our bikes to reach our 'wanted' speed.

Don't go south of the river much if ever. Don't have glasses, tinted visor or hi-viz bib either.

TSM - there's nothing impressive about riding faster than someone if you can't do it safely.

Other than that, it could have been you ;)

[TSM]

perfect people you all are, wont mention any names (Flamin_Squirrel) will I

[Flamin_Squirrel]

I think you have somewhat missed the point.

[TSM]

no, you missed the point, re my original post

My comment re valman was a that while back he put his rear sprocket up to 47 from 44 and said that he still did not notice any diffrence off the lights, plus his comments in the past that he thought that the restiction on my SV was a bit odd as i still kept up with spiderman off the lights.

As such that is why i posted that it probably was Valman (he also has a black SV), no offence to him, not saying that he is slower than me, just putting the sprocket thing and my restriction together to get that answer.

ps. i know what you think of my riding and thats yours and some other people's ideas, keep going on about it if you wish (and keep bringing it up whenever you wish), there are other people that have no problem with my riding as well.

if you are just joking about something (And the other person is a willing participant) you can signify it with these nifty icons:

Otherwise people will assume you are just randomly slagging off other people #-o
