Title: Captain Slow
Post by: dogshome on May 17, 2025, 12:54:06 PM
They are all out tonight  :(

Harley with rider wearing a very large patch decided he would follow me round the island, but wanted to go faster on the straight bit. I'm doing 35 indicated in a built up area with clear 30 limit signs. He zooms past, has a bit of a wobble on the gravel in the middle of the road doing about 50-60  ::)

I pull up 500 yards later behind an adventure bike. He zooms off at about 45 (in a 30) before spotting the jam sandwich who'd just pulled over a speeding car  ::)

1 minute later, a young knob in a small car is right up my number plate, fails to see my brakes and indicator ( as expected), then suddenly realises and swerves to the kerb. I'm well in advance of the juction and can see this plonker in my mirror. Now he's seen me, plenty of time to actually slow down and make the turn.

Final insult, bloody mozzie in my helmet buzzing at my ear. I guess he wanted to get out and and go faster too!  :D
