Sketchy passing manuover in a charity motorcycle race.
To be honest we were racing honda 90’s (honda passports in NA) so every pass was sketchy, but this is high on my daft list.
Diceing with a pro rider for a couple of laps, huge fun, close racing, a long lefthander coming up, I knew he had a big advantage here, his skinny ass could lean more here (ground clearance is a problem on soggy commuter bikes) so each lap he’d gain a little lead here, this time i’d nailed the corner, got close, two back markers ahead, didn’t lift, passed the pro guy, dived between the backmarkers, over a greasy kerb, massive highside/slapper, kept it pinned and pulled away, I think I scared the pro because I didn’t see him until it was all over.
I had the biggest shit eating smile under my helmet the whole time.
