I was at the vista on the north end of Beartooth Pass getting ready to leave. A rider next to me asked if we were going up or down. We were going up. He asked if you could go first as he liked to "ride the corners hard." He was riding a CVO Roadking and my wife and I were on our Ultra classic, packed for a couple weeks. I told him that we wouldn't hold him up, but he insisted, so I let him go first. I blew by him about a mile later and didn't see him again that day. Even my wife was wondering why he was taking it easy. The next day I saw him at a gas station and he walked the other way!
Now I like to roll through the corners and I know I am not the best or the fastest rider out there, perhaps better than the average, but I have yet to go up to a stranger and insist that I needed to go first as my ego was faster than his!
