What a coincidence. Today I had a "dueling banjo's" experience with a chap on a Goldwing.
We were on country roads, with a good mix of bends & straight road's.
Going into & out of bends, the Goldwing came 2nd.
On the straight bit's, he almost caught up with me.
Then again, due to running in constraints, I was limited 5K revs.
After 25 mins of "dueling banjo's" I pulled in for a coffee & lo & behold, the
Goldwing rider followed me in.
We had a chat, he said he tried to keep up, but was unable to do so.
Conclusion:-
The guy on the Goldwing was not a experienced rider.
OR
Maybe I was riding a better bike than a Goldwing.
