Yesterday I was riding home from Ealing. I was weraing a mesh Alpinestar body protector as it was so hot. Anyhow I get to lights in Ealing and I see/hear a Honda CBR fireblade in the green repsol Race colours come up behind me in full leathers, knee sliders- the lot!
As we make my way towards perivale, loads of bendy roads and roundabouts. I notice he was still be behind me, or shall I say trying to stay with me
However, his positioning was awful. Wasnt on the nearside of the road for a right hand bend etc. Could not getthe best view ahead
Then we come up to the A40. He decides he will throttle it past me. I think “you twat”. As the reason I didnt throttle it is because there was a coach coming in lane 1 towards the on-slip! This caught him out and he had to slow down. I joined over took him and made him eat my dirt.
Moral of the story is…read the bloody road, and dont ride like a pro if you dont know how to ride.
He obviously had “all the gear and no idea”
