I can't seem to go slowly?

I've been gaylording around for a few weeks on my "summer cruiser" - a Ducati Sport Classic 1000. It's been fun, and I've enjoyed gurgling around in jeans and trainers with a half face lid on, and even surprising a few people with it's handling and midrange - but - it was time to get the proper "duke" out again, so this week I've been back to black and orange... and OMFG.

In just two short weeks I had literally forgotten how bonkers the Superduke R is. It won't let me go slowly. I can't help racing everyone, chucking it on it's ear at every opportunity, and coasting to a gentle stop just isn't in this bike's DNA. How the fook did I keep a clean licenense so long! Why are these bikes allowed on the road? I'm sending cars and bicycles scattering ahead of me at the bark of the open Akras - which is very helpful for filtering through Camden. (...it's a safety accessory, Officer)

If you know anyone who was on the road in Islington, Camden or the West End between 8.45 and 9.15 this morning (especillay on a bicycle) please pass on my sincere apologies. Sorry.

Never apologise for being a Hooligan Dutch.

Wish I had a clean licence but after a run in with a VOSA station on my way to The Dirty Weekend I'm now up to 6 points. Amazingly none of them are for speeding on the SD

I go cycling most weeks, just to keep fit. There are a lot cycle clubs in my area and I've gotta say they are the most stand-offish, stuck up bunch of pricks you would ever wish to meet out on the roads. Even when I'm on my bicycle they ignore me, becuase I'm on a cheapo mountain bike and not wearing "the proper gear". They like to pretend they're doing the tour de France and ride around in big lycra-clad packs at least three abreast holding up other traffic. They exude an air evironmental righteousness and if you should dare pass them at any speed on motorcycle, you can feel the hatred emanating from them. They're not my favorites...

You just shot his credibility as a Cock down in flames

Which also means the title of his post is wrong, it should be `I cant seem to go quickly`
