So would it of been you that I've seen on the yellow curvy on the Brittania bridge sometimes? Also spotted at the petrol station in Llanfairpwll? Though I haven't seen that bike around in a while. Mine's a blue K6 pointy with bikini fairing.

I've been meaning to catch up with that curvy owner to mention this site to them.

Fixer-Peg (clicky)

Made by DavieSV on here and damn useful bit of kit! We all seem to carry the Fixer-Peg on rideouts.

I find that a loud exhaust & lots of beans helps that problem.

But no, seriously, road positioning helps. If they're really up your rear just back off the throttle, slow right down, they soon get the message - or come past.

It's better to have an idiot in front of you - that way you're the one in control.
