Faster Car...BAH!

Yeah, I must say, there's this one freeway onramp on the way to work which is very tempting to late-brake/sharp-turn-in/throttle-down when there's a VL on the rear fender.....

Lots of run-off, perfect visibility, but very tricky to get exactly right. VL boy has less chance, though, being on chopped springs, hitting bump-stops and with rock-hard rear tyres from doing burnouts.

However, I can't help but feel like a prat when I realise that some moron just goaded me into modifying my driving style simply by sitting on my arse.

Far better to go slower and slower as they get closer and closer.

It's so easy to lipread the impotent dummy-spit profanity when he's 1cm from your rear bumper!

Heh. Small world. Like when that guy Paul (Liberty RS) asked Leigh "Do you know that Richard guy with the FTO who does MC days?"... Leigh and I being in the same MC team, and two weeks ago driving in the same comp session as Paul!

Also, Leigh... Barbara and Daryl from MC's are in the aviation industry, and work(ed) at Jandakot/Perth airports. Karen's parents were also in the aviation industry, and worked at Jandakot. And they know each other. I had Daryl telling me about Karen's parents retiring, and I'm saying, "Yes, I know, coz I married their daughter!". hehe.

Perth. You gotta love it.
