Stu's done 72mph drafting a motorbike... I've hit 90km/h behind a truck, it's not all that much. Fairly scary, but not too bad.0

A road bike can stop faster than an HGV.0

I was slipstreaming a golf on the way to work last week and a dog jumped up barking at the back window - causing unwated items in back of the lycra.................0

I clocked 57mph drafting on the commute last year
As Chris says, you can outbrake a HGV/Bus on a road bike (in the dry...). But you have to ride watching their brake lights. Really can't recommend anyone, who isn't 100% sure of their bike and their bike handling skills (so basically everyone on here ) from doing this.0 -
