It was about the third time that evening I overheard a group of "yoofs" say how nice the car was as I drove by.....and I hadn't taken the bait at all...
(unlike me 
).
However on coming to a T- junction where I was turning right, another group of said "yoofs" shouted "go on then, give it some"
Hmmm car infront of me....
that car pulls off, so I wait just a fraction of a second longer, so he's out the way, no other cars about.
handfull of right hand lock and a good stab on the thottle and we're out of the junction sideways
all looks well....
till I see the car that had pulled out in front of me, now indicates right, to turn into his driveway....:eek
on the brakes and the car slews to a rather ungracefull stop, sideways, behind him...(he's still not turned in his driveway, although nothing was coming!!!) think I frightened him
perhaps he thought I was going to overtake..
must of looked a right Wayne Kerr
sorry for letting the side down

At least you observed the golden rule....
Being able to stop in the distance yoo can see to be clear. Just. Let's be careful out there.

LOL I usually get this from kids on my bike (Go on mister, show us a wheelie). Never take the bait though, It never works out right when i'm in front of a crowd. That said I was trying out a new set of sparking kneesliders on the M5 roundabout last year and these lads (who'd broken down under the flyover were giving me the Mexican Wave as I went past them. First thing they said when I stopped to ask them if they were actually sparking was 'how much was the bike' and I gotta get one of those'.
