And you and some other people are acting like staying behind someone who is already speeding is a life altering event.

When that truck pulled over to let you pass, I thought you were going to clip his mirrors like a squid and kill everyone. Very dangerous!

Being in California, there are some roads that are popular for the squid riders who are pretty much what makes Angeles Crest Highway a place to avoid on weekends

This guy grew up in the area and not many can keep up with him.
maybe start at the 1 minute mark and see what the road looks like.
What you don't see is bumber to bumper bikes going both ways on moar days.

Good luck with your illegal activities trump legal activities campaign.

Glad to know a bit about "the dragon". Thanks. Maybe in NC folks outta medicate more...this is sort of legal in cali...enough medication and the urge to fight seems to pass away... it does depend on the brand tho...green medicine - not white powders...

'fraid I'm a westcoaster...It's pretty ordinary to have the N cali rural roads pretty much to yourself...fewer people I guess. Maybe they're all in LA speaking Spanish, Arabic, or whatever. Anyway they're not here...good.

I worry about gravel and deer and bear and rocks and trees, not so much cars and bikes and trucks - except on the main highway where it does suck, sometimes.

Rain today...boredom.

Tell us, though, about other twisties in NC... All new to me...

What the hell is so special about this Dragon? If I'm on a public road in a car and some ******* is tailgating me, I'm not gonna pull off to the side of the road to let him by. He'll just have to practice some patience, control himself, and follow the rules of the road dammit!

Same situation, but now I'm on a bike where I can safely move to the right of the lane: Let the faster bike go. I did that just today because I don't want him behind me anyway.

What is telling in this story is that when the 2 baggers DID pull off, the ninja ***** apparently wasn't as interested in going faster, as he was in stopping to explain to them how important he was, and that they were in his almighty way.

Screw him. That's one reason why I carry a gun.

I ride that area a lot. You should have let him pass but not everyone does that. He should have just passed you anyway. He sounds like a *****. He even left his helmet on lol
