driving the kids into school this a.m, nice winding country road, top down to wake them up, got behind a motorbike, doing about 40, quite a big bike, handlebars angled downwards, no mirrors. Got to a sweeping R hander with good visibility so overtook him. as I disappeared into the distance saw a full beam come on and as I entered the town 30 zone there he was crawling all over my rear bumper and weaving side to side. overtook me and a whole line of cars, screaming past doing at least 30 over the limit towards a blind bend, causing a little old lady in a micra coming the other way to brake and swerve to a halt.
i think he probably hadnt known i was behind him and got a startle when I appeared.
drove past him again half a mile later, explaining his version of events to a nice policeman with a big black gun thingy.
should i feel guilty?

Indeed you should sir (I'd have stopped and told Plod in graphic detail what he'd just done half a mile down the road)
Give bikers a break. I mean the poor chaps clearly cant afford a car and lack the skill and finesse to handle a four wheel vehicle. I once saw one so out of control that he only prevented falling over completely by his knee luckily holding the bike up on a fast corner, then he failed to balance again when his motorcycle reared up and was going on one wheel only and (I assume) pointed out this fact to me by raising a single finger! Poor bloke!

Hi 
Its not bikers that I usually have a problem with...its a particular sort of biker....usually young...the ones who think that bikes can out accelerate cars...on the back of my car is a Wizards of Nos sign and 2 big NOS signs in yellow....now either they cannot read or are stupid or both...
The only ones who do not try it with me are the older guys on the big superbikes....and funnily enough they are the only ones who might manage to beat me....just......lol
All the best Brett
