I got out for a little ride this morning..it was a beautiful day..
I fell in behind a Ford Focus ST and idled along minding my own business with just this car and I on the road. He was speeding up a little and slowing down on the long straights...I took it that he wanted me to go around him but I was back around 6 bike lengths enjoying the day.
I pulled off into a spot to look over the river and the car turned around and came back...there were two men in their late '20s early '30s and they had big smiles when they pulled in beside me. They asked what kind of bike it was and how big it was, how much power-you know the usual stuff...
The driver was hoping I'd pass him on one of the straights and he could have a go at my bike and I... I told him I was just out enjoying the day but if I had wanted to go around him and disappear into the distance, this bike is more than capable of doing that.
He said he didn't know as his car was pretty fast....I said you have to believe whatever you do to help you sleep at night, I have nothing to prove out here.
I waited around the pull off area looking at the river until they had left and had been gone for a while before I left...
I hadn't gone down the road 2 minutes when I came across a cop doing speed control...I waved as I passed by him...and he waved back with a big smile...
