I met the "Blocker", he was sweaty and exhausted, we spoke. He told me fascinating stories of how other bikers repeatedly tried to pass him. "I held my line" he proclaimed while continually wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Did you see all the marvelous spring flowers?" I asked. "What flowers?" he replied.

My thoughts are the same, that this appeared to an inexperienced rider who simply looked out of his depth but who was guilty of not being honest about that - he was probably speeding up out of wanting to convince you of his ability, more than blocking you. That said, lots of nuances that you pick up in 'real-time' that might tell you differently. Either way, "Nothing to Prove" should be the first rule of motorcycling.

ˋNothing to Prové is the best riding Mantra . Everytime something annoys me or makes me aggressive, i think of this and the family back home. Regarding the ˋblocker´, if he didn’t see you it’s poor riding technique and if he did see you and didn’t let you by, it’s even worse. Two thumbs down for the blocker! I tend not to ride fast and always let fellow motorcyclist by. Also, with regards to this theme, i have friends who can ride faster and when i ride with them, i have the feeling ìm chasing them. Also stressful. That is why i prefer mostly to ride alone. Two thumbs up for Scott... love your videos!!

I'm a new biker and ironically I ride a CB1000R (learned on a CB650R). I can handle it very well, but of course I'm not yet as fast as some other riders out there. Sometimes I'm in the same situation of riding in front of faster approaching bikes/cars (most of all locals who know the roads very well!). When the road's free I just give them a hand signal showing that they can overtake me. They usually greet by sticking out their right foot when overtaking. (not the car drivers!) Some of them will stay behind you for a while just to check your riding abilities and maybe hoping for a little race, especially when you're on a powerful bike. I think this is the moment when many slower riders don't manage to shut their ego off. They start riding way out of their comfort zone just to impress the other riders/drivers behind them. I think this is what happened in the video. Since you are driving in Germany, the guy in the video must at least be 24 years old or - if younger - have been riding for two years (Class A2) to get the driving licence that is needed to ride a CB1000R (Class A). Therefore he should have some riding/traffic experience. I think he just focused on both of you too much and got nervous, which made him screw up his lines, breaking and accelerating. Instead of just crossing the line for a second or two, you could just have indicated (I also heard the term "blinker" / "to blink", which is actually the german noun/verb for indicator/indicating) to show him that you want to overtake and kept a little more distance, which may had been a more de-escalating move - just for the safety of all of you in this very situation - no offense! Even if it feels unfair and you did nothing wrong, but especially as a biker you sometimes have to hold back a little for you own safety and the safety of others. For me this is a very nice side effect of riding and a good mental training, but of course it's not always that easy... Thank you for your videos, I enjoy your calm way of presenting! Be safe and always ride your own ride!

I don't understand why people act like that sometimes. We were all new riders at some point. I remember the week after I passed my test I picked up my first bike. I was nervous. It was my first ride without an instructor and I was holding on way too tight and I was on unfamiliar roads. A sports bike rider came speeding up behind me, really close. As soon as it was safe to do so I indicated in and waved him by. It made me feel better as I wasn't under pressure. So why make yourself feel uncomfortable by holding someone else up? Just let them past. Likewise now I have more experience I will give new / nervous riders space and time so they don't go too fast for their skill level and have an accident. I would hate it if another biker got hurt because I was putting pressure on them. We're all on two wheels to have fun. So let's make sure we do have fun. Love your attitude to riding, it's spot on. And thank-you for all your videos on the F900XR. They really helped me make the decision to buy one.

I was behind 2 guys on the 1 up by Bodega Bay last year, while riding my s1000r. These guys were riding a first gen R1 and a Ducati 919 in jeans and loafers. Choppy stabbing at the brakes through corners, clearly not knowing what they’re doing. I am directly behind them for miles, and instead of letting me pass, I’m getting brake checks and hand signals of get off my ass. Finally got an open and safe stretch of road to let the s1k sing. I agree... there’s absolutely no excuse for this behavior. If someone is clearly ready to pass or exceeds your riding ability, just let them by. Nothing to prove indeed!

It's not only about skill level but about the way how you feel at the particular moment on the bike or just of the way you ride.

Sometimes they rush cause they go home from work or late to somewhere. I'm not doing that, I'm riding to enjoy... So I let them pass.

This is just FYI, not trying to start a discussion with you or anything like that. I saw his visor in his mirror when he crossed from the right tire track into the left tire track. And then his erratic behavior really increased...meaning he was pissed that I wanted to pass him. So the gopro does not pick up every thing that the human eye does in real time. So try not to come to a quick judgement based on one camera lens. I saw this playing out in real time with two good human eyes, you only see with one eye and that camera eye is less than half the resolution of the human eye. :) I could have acted way different and just cut him off at the next corner entrance and let him deal with it (and probably would have crashed) but I was kind and nice and waited for a nice long sweeper to pass.

Cars do this to me often on twisty roads. Also groups of Cruiser riders who are in my way far too often. Getting around a group of cruisers is far more annoying. I don't have a lot of HP but my bike is only 330# so I corner well and it never fails that I catch up to group of cruisers and then they want to not let me pass on the straights and suffocate my fun in the corners. I've pulled over and spent a few minutes drinking water to get back on the road and catch back up with the same group that wont let me pass. Southern California is plagued with bad drivers.

@NothingToProve
2 жыл бұрын
Sure, when the rear tire is under a lot of load/force from the engine the tire will compress slightly and then slip/spin but before the wheel slip, traction control kicks in and prevents slipping or spinning. It's this action of TC working several times a second, adding & taking away power, very very quickly that causes this. And really only noticeable on bikes that have the license plate attached to the rear tire hub like this bike. On bikes where the plate is attached to the tail of the bike, sub-frame, you won't notice it, at least I don't. Hope this helps, Scott

Hard to tell if it was inexperience or ego, but not uncommon. Most rides, and some drives, I come up on a slower rider or motorist and they do similar to what your vid depicts. I do not want to race just want to continue on at the pace that resulted in me catching the person. Almost without exception the other vehicle will pick up 15-30kph, but after I pass they drop back to their previous speed. Perhaps they are fearful of being overtaken, or it is ego? Most time I think it is the former, because often as I pass I see a person gripping the bar or wheel tightly.

But on the street and with his low level of skill, I might have scared him so bad that it put him into the guard rail and I didn't want to possibly put him in a life threatening situation just because he was being stubborn and I wanted to pass him. Keep it simple and safe on the street, wait for the right safe moment when you can see all the way through a curve, then pass. Ride safe, Scott

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (or simple lack of experience) applies. I'd like to think the Honda rider just was inexperienced and lost his cool, there is no reason he should have tried to block you. You and your friend were not riding aggressively. It appears to me that the Honda rider tried to ride over his ability and it could have ended badly for him should you have let it continue. You were 100% within your rights to quickly pass him out of concern for his safety. I would guess he was not aware you guys were behind him and he was startled when your friend first passed him and he lost his cool. Red flags were screaming to me especially in the longer sweeper to the left where he was braking so aggressively and then when he crossed the center line and went wide... I'd have done exactly what you did and looked for any opportunity to remove pressure from the situation. A lesson for newer riders for sure - check your mirrors as a matter of course and if being overtaken, have the common courtesy to let the other people pass you. Ride YOUR ride. Leave the ego at home.

Inexperienced and skill level not there...I don’t think it was personal

I suspect his ego was at stake! Still he should have risen above that and allowed you to pass. Thanks

Yea, seems like the rider got a lil butt hurt when the 1290 A passed him and unfortunately took it out on nothing to prove.

Just an inexperienced rider. Looks like he panicked a little trying not to slown you down so he tried playing keep up.
