Who flew by me last Sunday.
I was out for a ride on my motorcycle, cruising on a two lane country road at about the speed limit. These two fucktards blew by me one on my left and one on my RIGHT. They were going so fast that I didn’t even know they were coming till they were past me. Scared the hell out of me. If I had twitched to the right we would have traded a lot of paint.
Squid bastards!
That kind either hit wet/icy spots, or end up playing Truck Tag.
They will get theirs, & all too likely, more than they deserve.
I’m certainly not defending them, but unless they were coming down a hill, it should not have “until they were past” me. How drunk were you?
Wow. I’m going to subscribe to this puppy just to see what happens. 
If those bikes were doing a 150 mph and he was doing a liesurely speed limit , then ya I can see it happening.
I have seen bikes doing a hundred fifty plus on the highway and between the visual cross section of the bikes and the speed they do , its like watching a fighter plane zoom by .

I ride a ‘crotch rocket’. It’s my primary means of transportation. I was behind a rider recently who did not have a clue I was passing him until I did.
Of course, Harleys are much cooler if they don’t have rear-view mirrors. :rolleyes:
Is this the crotch rocket to which you refer?
I completely sympathize. I’ve had the exact same experience with those jerk-offs, only in dense, fast traffic - and there were probably two dozen of them, going between all three lanes. Simultaneously. Completely didn’t see them coming because the time between when they cleared the space between me and the car behind me was measured in milliseconds. They scared the living shit out of me and even the slightest twitch on anyone’s part would have killed four or five of them - and probably some innocent bystanders.
Assholes.

Winding road. And I was on a dual sport, with mirrors. I tend to watch the road ahead of me, looking for road kill, buzzards and dipshits like you.
You failed to answer:
“How drunk were you?”
Of course, Harleys are much cooler if they don’t have rear-view mirrors. :rolleyes:

Harley, what’s a Harley? Did I say anything about a Harley?
I lane split all the time. It’s not illegal here. However I do it at a reasonable speed. What makes me hit the throttle though, is when a cager doesn’t see me (on my bright red bike, with the high beams on, moving at a reasonable speed, and being in the same lane position for 20 miles) decides to drift over when I’m right there. Gotta get out of the situation quickly.
Nearly all of the motorcyclists I see splitting lanes are not on kamikaze runs. They’re maintaining a reasonable speed. The real assholes are the cagers who cross over double- or quadruple yellow lines, don’t pay attention to traffic, and make abrupt lane changes without looking.
I don’t drink and ride.
No. I’m saying I was stuck behind a Harley for a while, at a speed that barely allowed me to steer, who was unaware that I was there until I passed him. (I don’t like honking at people unless they’re about to hit me.)
This was not lane splitting. This was a two lane country road and he rode between me and the shoulder.
I wasn’t referring to you. FWIW, I do not pass on the right unless there is a lane there. Whether I split lanes or move into the next lane depends on the situation.
Posted speed 55, me going about 65 these guys flew by me. I can’t estimate their speed but it was a hell of lot faster than me.
I’m not a motorcycle rider, but I always thought cars were the big worry for motorcyclists.
No, these guys were bigger pricks!
I just wrote an estimate on a wrecked middleweight crotch rocket, ~$6000 plus labor - not including the deceased rider. He was racing a car on a poorly lit road and came up on a construction zone. There’s a difference between riding fast and taking stupid risks.
Ride like a knob and you’ll die! Haven’t I read that here somewhere before?
