Ah, the good old A507. A windy road, with two decent straights.
One of which I used to pass a smallish 'Onda being ridden patiently
behind a van. No fuss, no drama.
Except the smallish 'Onda then passes the van and sits tailgating me so
closely I couldn't see his headlight.
The second straight is used to dispatch the rather slow Mundano in
front, then smallish 'Onda goes for an overtake that the oncoming
headlights would suggest is not on.
I decided to let him live, so I backed off (hey, I'm all heart).
So then he decides to brake check me. Three times. At 80 (allegedly). I
wonder what I did that upset him?
Ho-hum. He'll not live long.

If you had been riding at a proper speed he would have been nowhere near
you!

Of course! That's why he was trying to get me to take him roughly from
behind.
It all makes sense now.

I expect so, if you ask nicely.
