Still haven't gotten into a serious situation yet, but I know how damn hard it is not to use the power of the busa when your stuck around cagers. I think commuting everyday on your bike is a good way to experience heaps of different situations. I know Max uses his bike virtually everyday and the man can RIDE.
To be honest though, fanging it hard away from cars has saved me from possibly tight situations on many occasions. I can attest to the frustration of when a 'high-power' (in their mind) car tries to give you a go and just becomes a pain in the ass. When your betting on the possibility that they might lose control, you want to get away from them!
One thing I will note though, I think most of us busa riders are fairly adept people to be riding such a fast bike and from my experience the only times I get into trouble nowadays is usually due to a lapse in concentration rather than skill (still constantly learning though). I remember reading an article by Jeremy Clarkson once that talked about "lack of concentration kills, NOT speed." Does have a point there.
Max gets my thumbs up though, he has taught me so much so far about riding, attitude in general. Much credit.
Oh and I can launch really hard now, so next time we drag should be interesting :-)
