Do you find when riding your SD you get boy racers in cars trying to race...

I haven't had my bike that long and and I have had a couple of GTI's, TT, and M3 in the last couple of days trying to play, I love letting them past on the street because they have to nudge well over the limit then they shit them selfs in case of the police.

I had a muppet in a GTI over take me in the suburbs because I blasted him off the lights and then he lost it in a corner with too much over steer, he showed himself up.

Not really, But some douchebag trying to show off on the freeway literally almost ran me over as he tried to look cool speeding by me. He lost a bit of control and swerved right at me (maybe it was on purpose?) He got at least a foot away from me, but I was able to swerve out of the way.

It's always geezers in corvettes that want to race off the stop light during my morning commutes. I've lost respect for corvettes now. Prius'es on the other hand haul ass off the line. Goddamn grandma in the prius takes everyone down.

I let them win to the other side of the lights then floor it, they dont usually bother at the next set.
Here its young guys in Commodore/Falcon utes that pump out 300kw, love demoralising them.
Harleys are by and far the best fun though.

I dunno - seems no matter what I'm riding, with some regularity there's some idiot who thinks they can out-accelerate me from a light. Seriously, what are they thinking? Every thing from Lotus 7s to late model Lambos. Mostly ricers/BMWs operated by young guys, <= 25. There's the occasional middle-aged guy too. Usually Vettes, Cobras, or some kind of vintage muscle. The rarest and most amusing is the 30-something yo guy - in a 4-dr. M- or S- of Munich or Ingolstadt fame - with significant other in the passenger seat and baby seat in back. So sad ...

And BTW - it's always guys. Never a girl/woman.

Everyone talking about cars racing you off the lights... No one mentioning the M3 right up your arse going round the twisties...

Wouldn't call myself a boy racer, way too old! But bikers in Surrey want to learn how to go around corners!
