I just got spanked by a jaguar

Is that acceptable or a reflection on my riding? :-(

 

Was it wet? If so we'll let you off ...if not coffee's on you at the next meet!

 

Reflection on riding me thinks !!!!!

But still trying to work out if it's acceptable !!!!! Lol

 

Depends what jag and who's driving now if you said Arthur daily then
Shame on youu!

 

all depends did you know the road or did he know it better.

 

just as long as he didn't leave any scratch marks...or was it a her...?

 

In a drag, from a standstill? I'm taking your man(girl)-card!

 

From standstill up the m271 which I have never ridden before and then it turns into country lanes but this guy was so determined that you know when you start to get the feeling of the situation starting to turn dangerous that I just completely backed off and accepted my whipping graciously

 

Well, given you didn't mount (ahem) any roadside furniture I guess it's okay you took the safe option.

 

Fair play glad u accepted having your arse handed to you & are here to tell the tail

 

Good decision I reckon. I'd like to have seen your face though (?)

 

Similar thing happened to me on the A2/M2 this guy was in a Scooby WRC i was on a Busa tailing him at 150 and he was so determined i should not pass he would have quite happily run me off the road, thats when you know it's time to back off.
To this day i know i could've stuffed him, but i had to let him have it to stay safe and ride another day, so you did the right thing letting them have there moment of glory

 

A fast car (in the right hands) is always gonna be quicker if your moving especially around the twisties...
You should thrash any car of the mark up till 100+, ive beaten porche's and Astons (to the next lights) on my Harley.
But your sensible to ''let it go'' as soon as it feels dangerous, the car driver is much less at risk in many ways in such an encounter. As long as you got a good buzz for a while.. job done..

 

It was from a standstill though, so you should have been well in front by the time the road got awkward

Don't worry though, we all know who'd win an air-time contest!

 

That's the thing, it was only the 2nd time from standstill I've been whipped and I didn't expect it from that car. The other time was on my zx6r against a suped up suburu. I don't think I'm gear shifting properly on this bike

 

Are you using the clutch?

Then you're doing it wrong. Also, your shift light is set way too early. I'll fix that at the same time when I get hold of your oily bits (the gasket!)

 

Yep, I believe we established me using the clutch is the key to my downfall. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

 

Shift Light?????? Who's got time to look down for a shift light when the engine should be screaming like a banshee and the trees begining to blur.. Whatever next launch control....
