2-up GSA chased by Tracer

[Rushy]

Agreed he's a quick rider, and quicker than me two up on a bike like a GS. I just didn't think he was 'that' quick, certainly not enough to warrant all the comments

Fookin hell Andrés if you think that isn't quick then remind me to never ride with you !?

Half of me wishes I could ride like that and the other is glad that I don't
( and so are my family , I imagine )

I was starting to think I was the only one who rated the Guy

It doesn't matter how fast you ride, if you are riding within your comfort zone you will be confident and in control and less likely to have an accident.
The guy on the Tracer looked less comfortable whilst the guy on the GS looked like he could ride like that all day.
It will always be the same for everyone,
anyone faster than you is a madman, anyone slower than you is an idiot.

anyone faster than you is a madman, anyone slower than you is an idiot.

That sums up the way a lot of people on here seem to think.

Lets be honest, the GS/GSA is capable of covering ground plenty fast enough on public roads.
I doubt I'm the only one here who has nearly come a cropper at the expense of another motorcyclist riding as if they have exclusive access to the road. Riding sensibly, maybe quickly is fine, having nearly been wiped out several times over many years by other bikers riding like complete twats
is a pain in the ass. It's easy to get carried away, but overtaking on blind bends has to be a no no for everyone.
Oh yeah leaning your bike over when in the centre of the road when you can't see what's coming the other way is also a recipe for extreme pain or worse, sorry to be a boring fart but please think of other road users.
Ride as fast as you want but ride to the conditions and never assume there won't be another bike or car/truck coming the other way, because one day there will be and if you have your wife/girlfriend on the back and things go pear shaped it won't be easy explaining
to their family that you were a total a**hole.
No I'm not a preacher, normally, but no one's ego is more important than someone else's life!
