I happened to pass another biker when coming off the motorway.
After exiting Sandygate roundabout I approached a car following a slow truck moving past the rugby ground. I move to the right-hand lane, hang for a second to give the car a chance to see me incase he may also wish to overtake, then make a fast overtake to minimise risk of the car pulling out on top of me having still not seen me.
So, I clear both the car and truck. Check speed. Too fast now for wet roads in the dark. Just about to check left ready to move into left lane and slow when WHAMMO! That biker I passed on the motorway slams past me on my right hand side.
Was that you? If so, just what the hell were you trying to prove huh? Jeez, at least wait for me to move over before you pass me! Everyone on this site knows how much room there is on the outside of an SV1000S sitting in the right-hand lane and I can tell you what, it isn't enough bluddy room for another bike to squeeze safely through at high speed!
I've got no problems with playing silly buggars when the time is right. But that was just plain dangerous. You ride how you like fella, but don't take me down with you please. Christ only knows that we've got enough car drivers trying to run us off the road. Lets not turn on each other eh?!
If it was you, I don't know you. I'm not about to slag you off, but you must be aware of just how stupid your riding was. Take it easy.
And just to prove there's no hard feelings, here's a tip; That left hander onto Rydon Lane that you took at such speed? Be careful. If traffic's heavy then you'll come flying around that one to find stationary traffic queued up onto the bypass and you've got about 100yds to get upright and on the anchors for some mega-heavy unplanned braking. I know this from experience.
Ride safe, and calm down!
I am on slip road going towards sandygate off M5, you flew past out in the 1st lane undertaking a car and then chopping the nose off the one in front of me so you could get onto the slip road for the exit
