We tend to travel quicker than the bikers so arrive and depart whilst they are looking for their helmet...so to speak.
So quick that you can’t be seen? Although a Carrera White blur quickly followed by a GT Silver flash was apparently sighted by some local earlier this morning just west of Bainbridge.
Just remembered I've had a few passenger laps in different Porsches years ago, one of them was really quick, it had a noisy gearbox and noisy brakes that worked very well.
It was all stripped out inside and had a roll cage.
No CD player and radio though which I thought was a bit cheap.

All I can add to this is that bikes are SO slow (doing the NC500), and generally ride in packs.
Why can't they ride alone? They'd be so much quicker.
I find due to major insecurity issues they generally like the pack mentality and safety of a group.Why can't they ride alone? They'd be so much quicker.
And two bikers equals four wheels.
In fact the same as a car.

Same experience really, except mine was on some old crappy raf base, Silverstone I think they called it. Every bend or corner we got to it was going sideways, didn’t crash, but awful traction and grip. It was all stripped out inside and had a roll cage.

Bad drivers always tend to blame the car for their own inabilities.Crappy things them Porsche’s !
Jeez this thread is still going! And the bikers are still congratulating each other with their heroic riding
Anyways, had a cracking drive on my way back from Llandudno last weekend. Lovely empty roads through South Wales in my old, slow 993 Porker. Not a biker to be seen anywhere... Guess they were so fast they were already home while I was still out there in my Porsche driving bliss

If you look closer you’ll see that it was the Porsche driver describing himself and a friend as blur and flash. The joke about being so fast they couldn’t be seen was already done by me yesterday.

That's why I repeated your joke. As I was in awe!
