Just because they may be faster than you doesn't mean you have to keep up.

Go at your own pace.

Remember: every car is a weapon and every driver intends to kill you.

If you're going to fly the finger, make sure you have: A) the skill to get away from the driver who is trying to kill you, and B) a bike fast enough to get away from the driver who is trying to kill you.
We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

I've ridden pillion on a number of friends Bikes. Several of them I've learned enough from being on their pillion seat to make my own riding better...

+1 to what CrimsonRider said about 4 balls!! Gives me this chills just thinking about it!! :laughing:

When we were kids, my dad didn't want us 2-up on a bicycle! He used to say "Barnum and Baily Circus and straw, two on a bike is against the law" so I don't want to ride anyone on my bike, and I won't ride on anyone else's "back seat".

I believe you should treat your bike like your tooth brush - don't let anyone else use it!!

What the homophobic red ranger is trying to say is that 2 men riding a motorcycle conveys an image of sexual orientation that he finds very humorous.

How about:

Keep your chin up and look through the corners."
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
