Might have been, but maybe he's only just passed his test and was after some advice...

if you go to a bike race, even the racers do things differently, different lines through corner ( Haga and Kagayama ) Elbow down ( Hopper ) Rossi if you watch him carefully changes what he's doing ( moving weight to the rear to get more traction etc ) through a race.

If I rode on a track then I'd probably ride differently but I've never done it so I dont really know.

Alternatively he was yanking your chain, personaly I tend to just ignore people like that or I'll chat to them for a few minutes and see how genuine they are. If I think they are taking the p*ss I go quiet and dont say alot back to them.
