What would you have done (R1 wanted a piece of me today)

I'd be afraid if I raced him he might beat me, then, hanging my head in shame I'd have to start a thread and confess that I was beaten by an R1.

Too old and too mediocre of a rider to chance it!

Agreed. And this line of reasoning is also why I never hit girls.

I guess I'm getting old, but I have absolutely zero desire to race anybody and truly couldn't care less whether or not they think their bike is "faster" or not. I like to enjoy the ride, period, not to prove anything to anybody. And that enjoyment usually comes from trying to execute my best curvie turns, often below 40mph. Besides, any monkey can hit the throttle and go fast. I doubt I'd just "ignore" him, as I would takes steps to get far away from him, to avoid the accident he will cause and/or be in, and that squids like that lessen my enjoyment of my own ride. But again, that's just me.

This just about sums me up too, although I do still enjoy the curves at a lick, where possible. Not that I have lost my competitive nature, I just leave it at home when on the road, irrespective of what I am riding or driving.
