Crossword Genius

Motorcyclist, British one, meeting king with hesitation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

biker

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'motorcyclist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'british one meeting king with hesitation' is the wordplay.
'british one meeting king' becomes 'bik' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er).
'bik'+'er'='BIKER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for biker that I've seen before include "Rider" , "Hell's Angel?" , "Motorcycist" , "Motorcyclist" .)
