Met some wankers.

[Jonathan A]

So I went to a bike meet with my mate, then we met some people my mate knew, then went for a ride. They where all dickheads who where no older than me (18). All doing 90mph +. For a bit I kept up with them (up to the speed limit), until I had a very near miss with a car coming the other way, then I left them at the next town.

Still shaken up after the near miss, which was purely down to me thinking I had to keep up with the knobbers


What is the point of riding like this on the public road? I ride to feel the wind in my face, to avoid sitting in a car and because I like bikes. I don't get a kick out of risking my life like these people did.

So at least I now know why I ride, and who I like to ride with

sorry for the rant

Sounds more like pushing your limits and riding out of your riding capability's.

If they want to ride fast, leave them to it, they weren't doing it with you pillion, you didn't have to keep up, you chose to!

[J.M.]

So basically you rode faster than you're capable of safely riding and now it's their fault?

At least you learned with only a close call that you should ride to your own abilities, not any one else's.

[Jonathan A]

No I'm not blaming them, I am blaming myself for not realising sooner that I don't want to ride like that. And by their standards it probably wasn't a close call, but it was too much for me. I'm gonna do the Bike Plus soon. It was their cocky nature I didn't like

[Carvel]

90 isnt fast.

Stop being a little vagina.

[Nope.]

90? Is that it?

Jesus, 90 is just tootling... I think perhaps you should go back to a 125.

I do 90 daily, fuck I was doing 140 undertaking a Celica in the middle lane testing my TL.

Maaaan, please don't attempt a ride out with the South East lot...

Yep, nothing you said is justified, all on your own head. If it makes you feel any better someone stacked it at a meet down my way this eve, looked like no injury and minor damage but with how he did it ill bet he is feeling a little sting in his pride (Assuming he)

Well yes, I admit I am a wimp. I come from a family of wimps, and i'm the first person in my family ever to own bike. My parents don't even drive

I don't do sport, cant watch the moto gp without thinking someone is going to get smushed, and last and worst, I know how to knit.

Now people are going to say "so why do you ride a bike"

[Huambo81a]

We're all guilty of this at some point. Compared to some of you I'm probably slower. But I'm happy and don't step over my personal limits.

Some like to push it and find the limits of adhesion. Not a fan of that personally, seen too much road corn beef for that.
