after a slight brush with the man... last year... Ahem!!
well have had to alter my way of riding slightly... not like it was bad or risky.. just a tad fast at times... open roads etc..
any ho!! yesterday had me a little run to the coast... "solo" (bastids)...
i stuck to posted speed limits... and on national ones pushed up to 60.. but found that every so often i would collect a moron stuck right up my arse trying to push me to open up.... after they found I'm not gunner.. they would overtake and zoom off into the distance... then a mile up the road they would be behind another car happily traveling behind them at below national limits.. i would then just pop past them "as you do".. and a bit further on... old matey boy is back climbing over your back end again...
so my point is.... don't think this hype about slowing bikes down is about road safety is it....
just a observation!!
