Nice looking Blade, not sure how long your license will last when you get it back if you lost it driving an Astra!!

Good point, but it's not the license I'm worried about. It's the decision making process that gives me pause.

Don't be scared. Well, maybe a little.

I have been behaving on the road for about 15 years, not sure what came over me when that Harley over took me on the highway but I hit the gas tried to get past him. We both floated around the 200k mark. And then came the flashing lights of a Chrysler 300c SRT8 and it was over. The bike was in front of me and got away.

Hmm, I'm surprised that the Harley would do 200 kph.

So, when a motorcycle passed you, something came over you that said that shouldn't happen and that you needed to speed way up to get back in front of him? That's the stuff that gets motorcyclists killed. Now that you will be the one on the bike, I hope people in cars don't do that to you. Please be safe out there, more than a license depends on good judgement.

I wasn't just looking to overtake the Harley, I wanted to race. As it was a windy day his bike was being thrown around a bit so gave him room and didn't drive directly behind him incase he came off.

It's worse than that it had raked forks a rigid **** end and ape hangers. That bloke had ***** and he stayed in front of me for 20 mins.
