I have had a number of issues with them now mainly to do with moving out to pass a stopped bus and whether the person in front on the cycle or the person behind on the motorbike has right of way. I have also experienced the 12000 revs method of making there presence felt. While it is nice to know they are there I associate the sound with a fast moving bike, and can't help feeling that they are trying to dominate other road users. Last night I had one of them revving madly to get me to move over so he could squeeze past me while I was passing a stopped bus on the left and stationary traffic on the right, there simply was not room for him to do this safely.
