You were probably going along the A27 (Southampton Road) as that is the only 50+ zone round there I know of round there ...

We were on the Eastern road coming up from town towards Farlington, past Sainsbury's.

I dont draw anyone, or get drawn, into anything. I ride by my terms and conditions only (and those set out by the law. sort of).

But then, saying that, I do enjoy it when people in sports cars think they are doing a bloody good job of keeping up with my bike. Little do they know of my slight lack of power....

If the pace flags I pass them again. BMWs work the best
I did that with a very nice ferrari. He didn't like it and blatted off into the distance. I dropped back to the speed I wanted to do. 2 miles down the road, matey boy is stood with his head in his hands after having been pulled over by an unmarked car. Result!

It was fun goading a group of lads on litre sportsbikes on a sunny bank holiday. They weren't as good at filtering/overtaking as me and could only just keep up in the bends. At one stage I left them behind at a set of lights so they must have been about 1 minute behind. I carried on, at about 90-100 (single lane a-road) which to be honest was faster than was safe. I shudder to think of the speeds they did to catch up as they were back in my mirror 3-4 minutes later. I then got away from them again and we were off the NSL, so no naughtiness. I pulled off to get fuel (still in view of the road) and shortly afterwards they came past all waving madly. I'm sure I saw one of them at the back (who wasn't waving) grimacing, presumably as he clocked that it was a 650 not the litre version!

The SV is brilliant at leaving things standing out of 30 limits so I tend to get involved in those little games quite often on it. In the car I (foolishly) relish the catching up and keeping up with machines that should be able to drop me in no time. I enjoy the sight of a fast car turning onto my favourite road ahead of me just as much as I enjoy a clear and empty road.
