On the way to Paisley today, I was just past a set of lights on the inside, and this d1ckhead was itchin to overtake/undertake, I was on the inside just doddling along more/less level with them, then mr Alpha decided he'd had enough and went to undertake the car in front, narrowly (and I mean about 5 inch's) missing my right side.

It happened to quick to get a kick at him, I just looked at my side and him getting closer closer, and thought "fck this, I'm out o here". Mind you, I now realise just how quick R1's are, my god ooh2.gif he ended up literally just a dot lbhh.gif .

It "lifted" in 3rd and 4th yee haa grin.gif

It was 2.0 TS (twin spark) saloon thingy...a 51 or 52 I think, so if you should be unfortunate to meet this rs hole, watch him....he IS dangerous...

Glad you didn't get squished, matey.

Depending on traffic to the rear and speed of each vehicle, it might have been better to have braked to a stop and just let the fecker blast past. Overtake him a bit later on, if you like.

However fast you are, he might also have decided to put the hammer down at the same time as you, resulting in two vehicles blasting toward the same small roadspace.
I see that happen far too regularly.


Either way, it worked though!!
Stay safe,

There wasnt anyone behind me or him that I know of, I was beside the car in front of him after pulling away from the lights, but just about let him go then maybe overtake them both when they pulled in. We were all doing about 40, its as I was "letting" the car in front of him go by me thats when he (Mr Alpha) decided to undertake him therefore nearly hitting me.

How didnt see a blue bike with its lights on I'll never bloody know.....cagers eh veryangry.gif

I'd bet he did see you, after all, he missed you. It seems that that's all that counts to cagers. The number of times I'm almost clipped by people pulling out to overtake without leaving a gap or whatever...

It's the same old story - if it's not caught on a Gatso nobody cares sad1.gif
