Man v machine

[PJ79LIZARD]

This morning I was overtaken by a motorcyclist, large bike 600cc, we were approaching a set of lights which are generally red when I get there, I filter to the front where the guy is sat on his bike. I pull along side him, we don't make eye contact, but the air is electric with anticipation. We both know it's on. The light sequence starts green..... Boom my front wheels off the floor with the power I'm putting in. I'm away like a bullet.... 15 feet later the roar of the Suzuki passed me, into the distance he rides with his hand jauntily resting on his thigh, as if to say no contest...ha but the fool didn't realise the race was first away from the lights, you lose sucker! In your face shiny red bike and your carbon footprint

Brilliant! There are normally loads of bikers around here when summer comes because they stay in hotels on the coast and then head down through the valley. So I will probably have the chance to do this at some point too!

Ha Ha, I pulled up next to 2 motorcyclists at the weekend in traffic, I told them "ill have you on the next straight", they laughed, and I did because the bus infront was being held up by another cyclist. "bloody cycists holding us up" i muttered to the motorcyclist they laughed again. Turned up church Lane at hebden bridge, they blasted past me, bye!

Race a Harley next time. You'll have him gubbed for miles.

It's more fun to chase them down twisty descents. They don't like that !

 

[bicyclos]

You must have been wearing your hondapants that morning !

I see motovloggers on YT doing that all the time on group rides. TBH I am surprised that noone on a club cycle ride has let down other peoples tires at traffic lights. Although I am sure you wouldnt make people very happy.
