...chase each other on the freeway? I was on my way to class the other day and this guy on an 899 Panigale flew by me. As if by uncontrollable instinct I downshifted and floored it, staying right on his tail for a while until he decided to go on the shoulder at 100+ mph (I have bad luck riding on shoulders). Is this normal? Do strangers on sport bikes typically play chase like this?
Only the morons :D
Only if they fear that the person passing may actually have a larger dick or balls then there own and feel that they need to catch up to have a side by side comparison....or they both have a I.Q so low that they want to meet up to try to add there scores together to see if that number will exceed 50, before they almost certainly die from a accidental death by motor vehicle crash....or they have already signed there organ donor card and figure "**** it" its worth it to show that guy that I can act like a hoonigan in public too and endanger other people's life's and it's ok cuz I'm a organ donor and I'm bored with life anyways and I want some asshole to have my eye's.
Since you asked I'll give you an honest answer. Hell no! One, I have no clue what that persons riding ability is, the last thing I want to have happen is be on his ass at a high speed when he puts the bike down. Two, I'd much rather he get the ticket that way I can do my normal 10 or so over and not have a worry about being the target. Three, this seems to be basic common sense to not do this but I guess that is different for everyone, Lastly I don't feel I have anything to prove to a stranger. This is why us as bikers get a bad reputation. Just my thoughts though......
No. I'm quite secure with my own masculinity.
Nope.... If they go flying by at 100 splitting cars and shoulder riding I let them because it's their own funeral.
Guilty.... you are not alone. I really try to restrain myself though, and I have been pretty good. Don't let anyone else fool you though, they've all done it to some extent, at some time or another, whether they admit it or not. We are all human after all. Especially when you are riding a roaring bike, and the only thing between you and temptation is a flick of a wrist away.
The important thing is you recognize you are doing it, and make better decisions.
but if it gets your adrenaline going then I can see why it would be hard to resist. Sometimes someone wants to race, I can't help but saying yes. following a stranger who is riding dangerously, or me chasing him is causing him to ride dangerously.... no I can't relate on that matter.because it's their own funeral
Anyone who tells says this isnt normal is a liar.
Everytime i see a motorcyclist regardless or type, i wonder do they wanna play?! I dont always shoot past 100mph, but sometimes. Its fun, its reckless **** um if they shun you.
Would do stuff like that occasionally on my CBR, when I was 18...... Never bothered with freeway chases on the Buell.
Canyons can be a different story....... I tend to go around the speed limit on straights and speed through the corners. So when someone goes blowing by me on a straight and then is slowing down to cage speed on the corners.They will sometimes get passed, either when slowing down way to much for a corner or coming out of a corner.
