A new Aesop's Fable

freaking genius.
But that was a very bad and dangerous overtake from the "fanny".
And all of that for maybe 2 mins...

 

[O8ride]

Much much less than two mins Meifesto. When the traffic bunches up and with all the lights and roundabouts, you make maybe 5 car lengths in the end.

On two wheels and you beat the lot hands down 99 times out of a 100, just by travelling within the speed limit.

But I could have smacked the fanny from pillar to post. Good job I don't have a big bike and I get the time to calm down on my little one, then just take the piss by filtering past. Didn't even bother flicking the Vs, couldn't be bothered with the twerps

 

[TriumfAnt]

If they timed their commute time with the dangerous driving, to driving without those overtakes, I bet it'd be almost identical. I had to commute on the A59 in a car for a while, and even getting stuck behind a lorry or tractor for 5 mins only made about a minute difference in getting to work. People still took risky overtakes.

It is almost identical Triumfant.

But sometimes, just sometimes, in a car or on a bike you just want to overtake, you want to feel the power underneath you, you want to have a little blast, it's not about the time you make. I know I do it sometimes too - but I am careful when doing it.

But these two were careless and wilfully reckless. And solley interested in getting somewhere faster - didn't work though.

I've never gone three abreast like that to screw over a bike, but to then carry on and go three abreast with a bus on your inside and a large car coming straight at you is just nuts!

Ha! Awesome.

You should make a sticker with a link back to that video. Then every time you get one of those drivers, you just pop one on the back passenger window as you pass. :lol:

Cheers Miggs. I don't know what it is about Autumn, but I got another fable just coming up

Applies to us too

I have had a dodgy clutch for about 2 weeks (just needed the cable reset I know easy job but meh) and I found I was getting to and from work faster riding at a how can one put it, respectable pace. Once I reset the cable and had full power back I found all that hard riding was lost at the lights etc.

BUT we all still do it some times as its fun!

BTW nice video
