Only up to the speed limit of course :wink:

As a slow rider unsuited to fast bikes I have had to overcome any desire to take on anyone. But I'm glad some of you out there take on the job.

Unless I'm feeling up for it, my strategy is one of ..hmm, cant think of the word, perhaps negative psychology.

So I dont even bother , maybe fiddle with my visor and gloves, read a book, smoke a pipe...and watch them dissappear into the distance before I even bother putting the bike in gear with them looking in the mirror thinking 'he didnt race me, why wouldnt he race me...'. :-s

Ok Im probably deluding myself and only more astute boy or grown-up racer may think this, or would I have beaten him if he had tried, but I dont care about the others :lol:

I hope this is at least and entertaining thought. But as Jonboy intimates you tosser Caines ...but well done! :wink: :lol:

Mmmmm...no, they're very, very good, even if that particular one was ridden poorly.

Ha ha, same here. We were heading back from the test centre up a dual carirageway and suddenly he speeds off up to about 90mph. We were both on naked Kwak 500s and I kept up with him. About a 2 miles later we slowed to about 75. Nothing was said, but there was a knowing smile on his face when we got back.
