Default Squid alert

I was coming home tonight, running about 70 on the spedo (64 on the GPS) on a 4 lane 55 mph road. All of a sudden a 750 GIXXER comes flying by me, I think to myself, if I wasn't on the M50, I might be able to have some fun with this guy. The M50 is a nice bike, but definitely no competition for a 750 GIXXER, so I just let him go. Well, as soon as he gets by me, he just slows down, now were going about 60, and I stay behind, because I don't want this guy to think I want to race him. We come up to a left hand sweeper that's marked for 45 mph, and this guy starts showing brake lights, I think WTF, this is a easy 70 mph turn, even on the M50, so I change lanes, and pass him. That must have really pissed him off, because as soon as we got going straight again, he blows by me doing about 100, cutting in, and out of traffic. I think to myself, squid alert, and settle back down to the 70 that traffic is running. I hope he got home alright.
