most bikes ??, i have owned plenty of bikes in my time and lost two very good friends due to them so am more than qualified to know the speeds they can do ??,and i was refering to the initial pull away which is all down to the drivers reaction ,and in responce to your second question wot has that got to do with it ,it aint about people passing me its about people jumping queues ,if you was in tescos getting your shopping i am sure you would get ****** if someone came up the outside and went to the front ,at the end of the day its all about manners and respect for others and if i am at a set of lights right up against the white line why should a bike be able to just go in front ,most of the time they cross the lights to do this then just sit in front of you ,just out of curiousity what would you do if you was on your big powerfull machine and someone in a mini metro pulled in front of you at the lights and blocked your way.
