Years ago I was following a dawdling French-registered 2CV along some narrow roads in Scotland on my Honda CBX. Rather than nip past I waited until the road opened up so I could show the Frenchies how an Englishman overtakes.
Indicate right, 3rd gear, plenty of space, indicate left, pull in, no problem
I was going a bit too fast for the upcoming left-hander and at that precise moment I was distracted by a submarine surfacing in the adjacent loch. I braked while leaned over and of course the bike slid out and across the road in an expensive shower of alloy and plastic.
I sat up in the road and the 2CV came past still doing about 25 mph.
