Scalp or no scalp?

I hope this means I've done the holy grail of SCR.
Waiting at the lights at the end of Broad Quay in Yokel Land and I was passed just as I left them by a moped/scooter thing, saw him hit the brakes going round the bend and just had to do it. No room to scalp/overtake on the righthand side so had to go on the left. As he passed me back he tooted the horn as he revved the engine harder so he was trying, I wasn't.

I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    This was after the junction by about 50 foot, he took me and the target was too big to not to try and scalp.

    To be honest, he was probably trying to rev the engine to get out of the road of the twit on the bike who was undertaking him on a junction, leaving him with bugger all room if his wheels had slid out (the reason he probably slowed right down in the first place).

    This is the area, http://tinyurl.com/7kssw5, with the TLs being where the wording Broad Quay starts.

    I thought I was about to this evening but it turned out to be a bicycle with really bright lights :lol:
