If they didn't put a hand out immediately acknowledging that they hosed up then that would warrant a chit-chat in B-group. Since it's C-group that's way too close for most org's rules on ~6ft passing and probably still requires a chit-chat regardless of acknowledgement. Now, this is a little victim-blamey, and every rider is fully within their right to use the entire track, but I generally don't use the entire track on straightaways for this exact reason. There's plenty of times a faster rider behind has made the decision to pass and I don't want to put myself in their way. Again it would be entirely that other person's fault if an incident happened but it could help prevent it from happening.

Oh I mistook the hand signal as him saying I did something wrong, that makes more sense. I was looking at the video afterward and trying to figure out why he was getting on me but if that's not the case I feel better. I've been working on using more of the track lately, as someone who did a lot of street riding for the first years of motorcycling, I found myself not doing that well. On straights with my bike's top speed though, sections like that I can just hold the line I had once I finished the exit, good idea. Other than that and a dumb mechanical issue that cut it short and was totally my fault, drama free day, except the guy later on in B group who managed to somehow crash in the pit exit out to the track and slide down almost the entire length of the pit lane.

Yeah he's definitely throwing his hand up to say sorry. I think he just misjudged your speed. Your look riding looks predictable, at least based on the video. No passing in the corners is stupid and just ensures stuff like this to happen. Anyone faster could have easily hung out it around the outside through that corner.

A leg out or arm out after a dodgy pass is the universal sign for "sorry dawg that was messed up of me and I want you to know that I know that". It is extremely lovely/rare that someone would make a sign of 'what the gently caress' at you and it would be unmistakable (Like they full on turn around and look at you with a finger pinching motion)

I've always thought no passing on the corners is a combination of insufficient vetting/supervision and legal paranoia that just ends up making it harder for people to learn. You end up with people who can ride reasonably fast but have no idea how to execute a pass and they end up colliding midcorner.

All motorcycle seats should have a key /quick release mechanism, god drat do I hate digging out a wrench to take out two bolts every single time I want to take the seat off the vanvan. What if I wanted to put my weed in there or something?

Yeah I wasn't sure how rare it was, the other two bikes I had were keyed. It's got me pondering hacks to make it quick-release.

The CBR600RR needs an allen key to remove two hex heads also, it's annoying. They stick them under the padding on the rear of the seat you have to pry back to access.

Yeah I guess if there's quite a few R's in the name they're not going to make it convenient because there's no R's in convenient.

You need an allen key, a socket, and a pick to punch out two plastic trim tabs to get under the rider seat, where the battery is of course. It's stupid.

Same on my cbr300r. Key gets you under the pillion where there's a smidge of room next to the factory tool pouch. You need the Allen key inside the pouch to get under the seat where the battery lives. There's no room there for storage to speak of though so I don't see it as a problem. Under the pillion I keep a disc brake lock, a visor cleaning kit and some earplugs and then its full.

The Ninja 400 has a little pull cable release under the pillion that lets you remove the main seat, it's nice. Unlock the pillion with the key, pull the cable and lift the main seat off.

Yeah this is such a sensible arrangement and it makes me mad that every bike with separate rider/pillion seats doesn’t do it this way.

On a Monster 696, you need to remove 13 screws, three fairings, and lift off the gas tank in order to get to the battery. Take a wild guess how I discovered this.

Similar for the CB300R. 15 screws or something like that and you have to loosen the tank and remove both seats plus take off the battery cover.

I'm honestly surprised at all that work; my old GSXR had the battery right under the seat, it was a two Allen screw job. Changing the oil wasn't even that bad once you figure out which plastic rivets to take out in which order.
