you might never understand what he means .
in my teenage years I happened to mention to some friend of a friend that my Honda 250cc single cylinder bike could beat a Honda 400/4 cylinder on the twisty roads , the friend of a friend asked if I would like a cup of tea whilst I waited for a friend of his to arrive on his 400/4 to challenge my statement .
I agreed and 15 minutes later this (cock ) who would later become a multiple British and European sports bike champion showed up , looking me over in a condescending manner .
so the start / finish point was agreed and it was agreed that no suicidal riding would take place but that rule was soon forgotten by the (cock ) when he realised he was never going to beat me and despite him passing me in a suicidal fashion repeatedly after I had safely passed him , I still won .
