there has to be some sort of etiquette ....
my thoughts are, if I am coming up behind another rider, hence I am quicker , generally most do nothing when I pass. Some tag on, few ever pass though ( :lol ).
I think if someone passes me and I am riding at the pace I want , I let them go.
You never quite know who they might be either !
I have encountered a few knobbers in my time though , idiots who let you pass, then want to race , even though you dont want to. It happened to me years ago when I had my son on pillion in a tight twisty area of wales. Thought at the time , you pair of cretins. Sad locals who will do anything to try and improve their low self esteem. To me they aint bikers at all.
Overtaking is always best done on a straight simply because you never know what an inexperienced rider can do in a corner.I generally look for a cleaner exit from the corner and take them there if sheer speed alone isnt possible on the straight..
