You wont be such a "brilliant" rider when your cocky ass gets taken down by the car you overtook because you're being an absolute douche. Its idiots like you that i have the urge to take of their bike everytime they dangerousely zoom by me on their little 125 thinking they're hot shit. Being a good rider isn't being able to weave in and out of traffic or go round corners as fast as you can. Its about being considerate of other road users as well. I only have respect for one biker i've seen since i've been driving. On a single carriageway he was pulling in behind cars, waiting for an appropraite moment, then overtaking. Not going straight down the middle of the road. He even had the courtesy to lower his left hand down to his knee to say thank you to every car he passed. Thats what i call a decent rider, not you.
FYI: Cars > bikes round corners. Its been proven, and the cars you are overtaking aren't trying, my old fiesta was faster than any 125, and that was as slow as shit.
Internet personality and real life personality are not the same.. I like to be a different person on the internet.
I overtake when it's safe, I don't think I'm "hot shit", I'm a good rider because I stay to the speeds and I'm always observant, I wouldn't of passed my test otherwise. I even wear a high-vis jacket at night. So stop making such assumptions.
Obviously I know cars are better around corners, and I know the cars are not trying, but when they go 40mph on country roads with a 70mph limit, I will overtake when it is safe to do so 'cause I don't like them going so slow. >_>
