Don't be a DY DB!

Feel better?

 

To ME, this seems a little short sided of YOU. I'm sure they are not out to slow down your ride, probably just newer riders that don't know any better. I just hope your impatience and ego don't cause other (possibly new) riders any issues.

 

Just like if you are in a car: If a rider wants to pass me, I'll let them worry about that. Just like the track, worry about what is in front of you. If someone wants to go around, that is something they will have to figure out.

I'm not about to start waving people by, since you never know who it is, and if you are on a double yellow, they may take that as an "all clear" sign and head right into oncoming traffic. Especially with the morons in Portland. Those motherfuckers are stupid as shit.

 

Maybe with all the riders we have lost this year, the reality of riding too fast is setting in.

Don't think of it as were holding you back, think maybe we are trying to save your life.

Maybe what you really need is a few more track days......

 

Uh, that your right to ride fast (or at least faster then them) is somehow their responsibility to get out of your way, or wave you on. If NOT, you're gonna pass them like a douche, and possibly give them a one finger salute. Seems pretty egotistical to me.

 

In my experience, which includes just such an event last week, it's not a matter of riding too fast. Most of the time the cruiser rider (most often a Harley but they are the most common bike of the type so ...) is going way slower than most sportbikers can safely go. And no, I don't think of it as you holding us back because in my experience, which includes just such an event on Friday, the rider in front isn't even aware we're back there because they never look in their mirrors.

 

I'll bet dollars to donuts that the problem is that the riders in front don't even know someone is behind them in most cases. In the few cases I've seen where they _are_ aware but don't move over or wave me on they are just being douche canoes a la left lane bandits.

 

Final score from Seattle, Oregon 51, Washington State 26.

OOHH and no one in Oregon was stupid enough to get porked to death by a horse!!! Talk about a bunch of FUCKING morons!! Dont hate on my state!!

 

How about you showing a bit of consideration to the rider in front? If they are that much slower than you but you cannot pass them in a safe and legal manner, then perhaps you need to dial it back a bit and cool your heels. Furthermore, if that "inconsiderate" rider in front of you is actually running at or slightly above the posted limit he is well within his rights to maintain his speed and his line. That is not being a douche, no matter how you wish to mis-categorize his behavior, that is being responsible.

I will grant that you are correct in describing ripping past someone in an area where passing is neither authorized nor expected is a douche maneuver. While you may be more accepting of high risk when you ride, you have absolutely zero right to require an innocent rider to be exposed to that same level of risk.

 

I don't watch hockey.

 

Even if they are going below the speed limit, in most states they do not have any responsibility to pull over unless there is a specific number of vehicles behind them.

 

LOL Its was last nights collage football score. which is also not important. Try not to be a hater. I will too.

 

I totally agree with 1badhusky's position...
There just simply is no legitimate reason not be courteous and wave someone by and it looks like that's the point he's trying to make.
A majority of drivers (bike or car) are children who have issues with anyone trying to pass them and mentally just can't get beyond that. It's disgusting.
Bikes have enough trouble dealing with road conditions and tarded cagers...we should be smart enough to keep our own egos in check and let people be on their way.
Talk about 1badhusky's ego problem? It's your ego that makes your feel all threatened by someone wanting to get around your slow ass....
And don't give all those standard bikes such a bad rap, I get out of the way...IF you're behind me.

 

Whatever vehicle you are operating on the road, one should constantly be scanning and checking mirrors. With that said, if I see someone roll up on my ass, you will see me make an obvious move to the right side of the lane to let you by (or whatever position allows me to ride safe and the faster rider to pass more safely). I don't want you riding my ass.
