Something that annoyed me on the way home

[Nazbit]

Draeger,

I was doing about 80 in the middle lane, The first bike passed me in the outside lane at about 120 but as he was about a car length ahead of me, (still in the outside lane) he dropped off the throttle almost completley and turned around to look at the 2nd rider.

As he was looking behind him he drifted across in to the middle lane, the result of which was a bike, about a car length infront of me, slowing down dramatically.

Hope this explains it a bit better.

I agree, Nazbit. Some bikers are complete clowns on the road, certain of them give us all a bad name and tarnish us all with the same brush as it were.

I'm a bit unclear about what the situation was here though. Did the first guy pass you in the outside lane and then drift over into your ( middle ) lane or did he drift over as he was passing you, causing you to take evasive action?.

Yep, cheers.

As I said.......clowns on the road.

Some of these guys never learn until its too late.

Exactly,

And it annoys me that at a time when people are campaigning for motorists to pay particular attention, and look out for bikers, that there are people out there who are making enemies out of motorists and will get everyone else a bad name.

Out of interest what is the yamaha r1 0-60 time?

Around the 2.8-3.0 second mark, with a stock gearing set up.

I know motorbikes perform quite well (I ride a gixxer 600 SRAD) . But if its rush hour there still isn't gonna be enough room to easily hit 120.
