Me vs Bike Courier (DRZ400sm vs GSF1250SA)

This guy on a Suzuki GSF1250SA seemed really eager to be in front of me.
So I thought I would play his game until he pulled a dangerous overtake and tried to block me from passing.
What he never counted on was that in heavy traffic conditions the light and nimble supermoto did it's thing filtering forward leaving the litre bike courier behind.

This video isn't all about myself & a courier. Check out the London scenery. It's quite nice on sunny days.

I cant please everyone, but I please most. With 300+ subscribers and being top10 featured for a few times for the car&vehicles videos, I know I'm doing something right.

Perhaps I do see the most of the dangers and I am ready for them (hence why I never crash). I really dont mind keeping drivers on their toes. Hopefully they will learn from it and wont end up killing someone else.

Also for the record I couldn't give a damn what a bunch of internet guys on a bike forum speculate.

@paradoxo88 Ow sorry, it was your smelly dad!

[butcherbloke]

I don't think that he had any idea that the two of you were 'racing'...

You play with pigs you get covered in shit

@187Premises -- ha ha, courier or not a courier. The guy's a cock, he tried to block you and that's his attempt at a F.U. I try to stick up for fellow bikers but it smacks of my bike's bigger than yours therefore get out of the way, fair play Mr 187 :)

And now the devil follows me everywhere that I go

@187Premises i agree, that was the point i was trying to make, that you really should be getting away from this guy in town, your bike is much nimbler. that's the joy of a lightweight punchy little machine, they are great fun, especially round town. just don't need to make him out as being crap because of it. do that to the car drivers, not that they need any help looking stupid!

[187Premises]

@blackninja600r I feel a good point was made. Too many people brag about getting the biggest or the fastest bikes which is great... when your on a track or motorway! The litre GSF's are frequently seen on drag strips. This just shows how a little 400 can be more faster and more practical at other things. Both me and this rider were pulling away from the lights very quickly, so he wasn't just innocently riding as you are playing it down to be. He would of just held me up on certain traffic gaps.

[blackninja600r]

@187Premises to be honest mate, it's not about him being a courier, more you are making a big deal of leaving behind a guy on a big heavy bike, when you are on a light punchy nimble machine, it's no great feat. slag off the car drivers and dozy pedestrians who walk out in the street without looking, but no need to have a go at a fellow bike rider just because he was there.

@blackninja600r You say "just riding along" but the video shows otherwise.

[187Premises]

@blackninja600r Like I said in a prev comment he had a radio attached to the front of his hi-vis. Asking me to provide extra proof on a 1.5 year old video sounds a bit silly. I don't understand why such a trivial detail like "was he a courier" is so important. It just sounds to me like some motorcycle couriers are getting uptight by this video. Are couriers supposed to be the very best in traffic? Because in London we have plenty of L-plate couriers who don't even have full bike licence.

@187Premises and it's easy to put someones reg number on the internet and tell him he sucks just for riding along.
