What say ye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I'd be kinda pissed if I got passed on the right on the street in the same lane by some stranger depending on the situation. If I was way over to the left of the lane and they just kinda pulled up next to me and then a bit ahead I guess I wouldn't mind too much... I wouldn't like it but it wouldn't set me off. If they flew by me with very little distance that would be another matter, they would not be getting away without a talking-to. No comment about passing in corners because it would make me a hypocrite. Edited September 5, 2017 by what 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a derogatory term, and if the circumstances in this situation have been correctly described it is the proper term to use. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't be jelly and call it a crotch rocket because you ride a shitty BMW. BMW makes "Crotch Rockets" too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I would have a major problem with someone passing me like that. I'd probably have to talk it out with them. The only time I've passed strangers in the same lane is when I get behind large group of Harleys on a curvy road. I have no problem weaving through their rolling road block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I've passed on the shoulder. If I'm going too slow, go on by. I don't give a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 As with any circumstance of someone complaining on the internet, we are most likely not getting the entire story. Yes, I think it's a dick move to pass on the right. I also believe if someone or myself is holding up another group, it is common courtesy to let the faster riders by. I'm sure this altercation was very ego driven. I blasted past a couple cruisers on a double yellow a couple weeks ago. Then of course at the next stop, the guy comes up and starts running his mouth. I just smiled, waved, and kept riding. Not worth my time arguing with some jackass on a harley with no helmet who wants to critique my riding ediqutee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 1 hour ago, Isaac's Papa said: Damn. You butchered that last word. Brutal. I don't pass on the right on two-lane roads, but I'll use the shoulder to pass on the freeway. I don't care if you're doing 85 mph in a 55 zone. If I'm on the freeway, it's to make time. Now that I have a bike that will not give me a concussion at triple digit speed, all bets are off on the slab. Panniers and a tall windshield make you invisible to the fuzz, from what I've heard.
