We always assume the other guy is trying hard, or highly talented AND trying hard. Just because it was a fast car, does not mean it was being driven fast. I've been held up by 600 sport bikes on a twisty section of road near my house in my Peugeot 106! I guess that means bikes are easy pickings.

This video is about as meaningful as any typical encounter you might have on the road. It's very very rare that you see a car or bike being ridden hard and ridden well at the same time.

Perhaps some people don't feel the need to drive like a **** simply to prove how small their nob is to a complete stranger

Perhaps they don't fancy watching a biker die trying his hardest to keep up

Perhaps they don't fancy a stretch inside after being convicted of Death By Dangerous

Just a thought...

I dunno was the car moving in that video. It looked a bit slow. I thought it would have been closer really. Maybe a lewis hamilton or jensen button behind the wheel of the car might have made it a bit more interesting indeed.

I guess in bang for your buck and value for money the bike is defo my choice
