I agree..that doucebag deserves an asswhopping for that move..coulda killed ya both..dumbass.

 

Same here.


Hell, I don't stop next to some riders I DO know because I don't want to be associated with them. Although, I'm pretty sure they've had the same thought about me.

 

I would not have expected someone to pass on my right in my lane. But I don't give them the opportunity. If I am passing I want to be where the cars can see me in their side mirror. It also gives room to the left if needed. After watching the video I can't imagine that you were going to change lanes any way. Over taking the semi that soon would have you making another lane change within seconds. I would have been increasing my speed to pass the semi and would have moved from the right side of the lane to the center to make the pass on the semi. I am sure many of us have had large trucks change lanes on us in ours cars or pickups to ride beside another truck for a few miles. Or pass someone pulling a camper.....

 

Here's the uncut unedited video.

1. Speed limit is 65. Cars I passed are doing around 65, I'm doing 70-73, I'm guessing.
2. You can hear my RPMs increase when I move into the passing lane.
3. After I pass both cars safely (this is a morning commute, not MotoGP), and the "dude" on the bike blows past me, notice how quickly I come upon the truck, and how slow it's moving. There's no need for me to change lanes until I pass that truck.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

It was a douche canoe move, in these circumstances.

 

"this is a morning commute, not MotoGP"

This. Exactly this. We're all guilty of thinking we're Rossi or Marquez from time to time; that in no way excuses the behavior.

 

Unedited video further confirms - right passer was, is and will probably always be a douche bag!
