This couple really impressed me and I think many drivers were curious and respectful.

However, I don't think I'm treated with disrespect because I have a road bike without a rack or panniers or because I have lycra bib shorts with a cycling jersey.

I show consideration for other road users and in the main it is reciprocated.

I've been very disappointed a few times when European motorcyclists have behaved ignorantly.

To get a bit more respect I've got some panniers.  Partly for the respect, mainly for putting beer in.

Enthusiasm; over-enthusiasm, combined with steep and curvy descents and an over-extended premature beer stop. I doubt the full moon helped, either. 25 kph into the bushes on the road approaching the golf course, with no-one to blame but myself and the Tigers
