I am chugging along a winding road, with high hedges each side, waiting in line for my turn to overtake a meandering cyclist safely. I hear a buzzing in my ears from some way back. A superbike overhauls me and darts in to occupy a good portion of my piece of crumbling black-top. I move closer into the verge so that we don't tangle handlebars (clearly this guy doesn't understand the concept of personal space).
My motor's goin' flobba flobba flob, his is goin' wheeeeeeoow, and we're making 18 miles per hour.
As we approach an absolutely blind bend he down-shifts. His motor puts on an octave (or two) as he overtakes the car in front and the wobbly cyclist all in one go, disappearing around the curve on the wrong side of the road!
How do they get away with it? Can they see through solid objects?
