Bloody Superbikes!

There I was on the B road between Odiham and Alton this afternoon.Now,I would think that a few of you will be aware that this is a rural road with very few overtaking opportunities.On the 50 MPH section past the Odiham Airfield,I was travelling well over the speed limit,when this Superbike came up behind me from knowhere.Must have been doing A LEAST THE TON or more,he pulled alongside me slowed down and signalled to me to have a race.....at 2.45 on a busy Friday!...must be crazy...when I didn't respond he flew off on his merry way at about twice the legal limit,shaking his head....what a loser!
About a half a mile ahead I saw him overtaking vehicles on a blind corner over a double white line!What an idiot!

There's a lot of it about today. Must be something in the water.

Sadly you can just as easily find a prat on a bike as in a car. Don't let it prejudice your opinion about all bike riders though...

That's one reason why I don't drive a modern day Porsche (it exudes too much ostentation to too many people sharing the same piece of tarmac)

I only ever get thumbs up from bikers.

i notice that people tend to leave their brains at home when the sun comes out. i suppose it aids ventilation between their ears (this is aimed at drivers, as i rarely see bikers misbehaving)

No offence to anyone on here who owns one but it sounds like a fireblade , the biking equivilent of a bmw

[PatHeald]

Nah, the biking equivalent of a BMW is..... a BMW...

No some BMW riders are ignorant Some dont nod or wave .
Fireblade riders think they own the road cut you up and give you the finger (twice now) after being beaten by a 600cc bike , they dont like it

I'm not that up on bikes but is was almost definately a Jap bike.Could have been a Fireblade!

Exactly.

A BMW driver is definitely not a BMW rider!

BMW rider = Skoda driver

(Er, b*ll*x, I've owned five BMW's ......Doh!!!)

You would have known it if it was a Ducati.
You can hear them well before you see em! They sound fantastic with twin Termi's.
The BEST Superbike on the road IMHO. Then again I am and SPS rider!
I also agree about the IDIOT clan - it is more often than not a car driver that makes me want to own a V8 Land Rover with 1/4" steel nudge bars!!!

Major disrespect due to the R1 rider I followed into town this morning. If you're reading, 70+mph filtering through traffic as you come off the Hammersmith flyover is all very well (I might have been easily following you on my Speed Triple ) but your positioning, planning and smoothness need work. Also, kicking some poor woman's car because she wouldn't get out of your way quick enough is not acceptable behaviour, she's not likely to expect someone to be doing those kinds of speeds in the morning rush hour.
