Dwight,
What may not be generally known on your side of the pond is that many sports bike riders from the UK "pop" across the channel in order to "push it" a little on French roads (as was the case in this video and thousands of others) because the UK roads are too regulated.
The pace these guys were going at was pretty spirited and so the one guy finally "lost it".
Haven't we all?
I say 'let the children play' (Santana).
Besides, rumour (from reliable sources) has it that you ride at a somewhat spirited pace yourself (especially on your triple)... so skip the lecture will ya dude?
(my best Dwightlish)
