Sorry can't resist my 2 cents worth on the double line thing (which I do on virtually every ride).
A bike with the 1050 motor can accelerate in 2-3 seconds from 60-80k to 120-140. That means you're on the other side of the road only for that whole 2-3 seconds. If you've got 20-30secs visibility there's PLENTY of time to overtake safely.
Just because it's the law, don't make it right. Hanging over the centreline (broken or unbroken) DURING a corner and taking out another biker is the worst sin but just crossing the line with good visibility is not a big deal if done as per the vid - in an experienced and controlled manner.
