Red face another one

One day last week....whilst in boxster
i was visiting a very twisty section of pavement
that lots of the sportbikes frequent.
note....I too drive a sportbike..gsxr1000
So I am well aware of what they r capable of....
I noticed a red sportbike behind me by about 50 yards
Entering the twisty zone
I put the hammer down...glancing in mirror when I can
he is there...next turn...still there..
next turn....he is falling off the pace a little
A little more on the next turn...
by the time we get to the last turn ...I don't see him
till we straighten out and head for the intersection.
at the light he pulls up on his ducati 848..nice bike
gives me the thumbs up.
I turn to the female in passenger seat as she says
"Is that a fast bike? I say yes...but a slow rider"
she smiles.....
I was waiting for the ducati to close in on me
but I guess the same saying applies to bikes as it does to sportscars
its not the car/bike that is fast...its the driver/rider
oh yah....forgot to mention...top down
but I think everyone on this forum already assumed that .....LOL
cheers
Chris
