So after lunch today I was out for my Sunday ride. My buddy hasn't got his ride on the road yet so I was doing another solo. I had some chores to do so I figured I'd have a quick scoot down my favourite road and head from home in an hour or so.
The road is on an escarpment overlooking Lake Ontario and goes in the direction of Niagara Falls. Beautiful day. Warm but not hot. Dry and clear with fluffy clouds.Spring is definitely here and in the air.
I'm riding along and passing a few riders as this is a popular route. I check my mirrors and I see a bike coming up rapidly. A cruiser by the looks.
He zooms up to me but then quickly drops back about 100 feet. I wick it up a bit and he follows, never getting any closer than 100 feet. Fine I think and get back into my ride.
There are not many stops on that stretch and I'm not thinking about the dude as I pull up to the first 4 way stop. I look in my mirrors and he's not there but then I glance to my right and he's sitting next to me. WTF?????
He's not looking at me just sitting and blipping his throttle like he wants to dance.
When clear I pin it thinking he's going to go but no he just comes off slow and easy. Zooms right up to me and then drops back that 100 feet.
The next stop comes up and its a repeat. I flip the visor and yell "What can I do for you?" Nothing. doesn't even look at me. WTF?????
I wait a bit thinking he'll go. He doesn't. He's waiting for me?? When clear I pin it again but this time I take her up to 10Gs in 4 gears and I'm flying. I look for buddy and sure enough he's coming like a freight train. WTF gives????
There is one final stop at a T intersection but just before it is a sweeping "S". I blast it and do my best impression of Valentino Rossi. I arrive at the T and look back for buddy. Nobody. I wait a couple of minutes. Nobody.
Now there is no turn off before this stop other than a driveway or two. So I ride on and assume he turned off at a house. I wonder, though, if he dumped it trying to keep up.
I'm not sure what happened or why he was riding weird. Kinda spooked me.
Boy I don't like sh!tte like that, put a bit of a damper on a fine day.
Ride safe all.
