I let any bikes past that come up behind me. I prefer riding at my own pace rather than feel pushed.

If they've passed me and then get in the way, hold me up or generally inconvenience me then no prisoners, they'll get treated as any other irritation without the consideration I'd give a bike I had caught up with.
On same logic if I've passed someone filtering and then they catch me up by speeding elsewhere then I'll let them pass.

They could be on an sv like mine and simply a more advanced or daring rider. Quote:

I was behind a guy on an old honda ('84, but not sure what it was, looked like a divi) yesterday on a wide ish twisty road for a few miles, i caught him up after i passed him the other way but i decided to ride the same road back, he didnt bother letting me past so i sat up his backside for a bit, there were places i couldve overtaken him easily but quite enjoyed sitting behind him for a bit until i got bored behind a car, then overtook.
If riders come up my trumpet i will always move over, made the mistake of gunning it once and got a tug as it was a copper on an unmarked bike ![]() |

Always let faster vehicles past as soon as I can.

Boring. I always make a hassle of myself. If they keep up, turn it into a little play session. If they keep up it normally leads to a much more enhanced and enjoyable ride with gust.
Had enough? Pull over and swing a little thumbs up or stick the boot out.
