Although I fell out of love with the SH300, it was always fun to blast past bikers on the dual carriageway whilst doing 90mph in the outside lane on something that looked like a Pizza delivery scoot!

Re: Bless
The other day I was filtering through traffic and came up to the light that's just before the overpass where the road goes up, over the freeway. I'm between lanes 1 and 2, and at the light, waiting, was a Sport Bike between lanes 2 and 3, on the other side of the car to my right. Suddenly, I heard rumbling behind us, and two more Sport Bikes filtered through, one now next to me and one next to that other guy. 
Great. Now what? Do I just take off at my normal speed, or NAIL IT? Let's see what happens...
The light changes, we all go while I give it my usual throttle. Holy crap, I'm actually ahead of one guy, and one bike to my right is starting to pull ahead, as he's pushing it harder through the gears. I go to full throttle and catch and pass him.
We all get caught at the next light down the road, and that faster bike pulls up next to me, opens his visor and says "What the hell IS that thing??"
I answer, "A Tmax, Yamaha's Automatic Supersport". Then I pull out my bottle of cold water and have a drink...

If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.
