The reason I ride is to get away from all the hustles and bustles. Good article, good advice.

Great advice. Part of the problem is the mindset of people who buy crotch rockets, their bikes haul azz, and it's not fun to ride 'em slow, I got passed by some jerk doing 100+ on one wheel as he zoomed past, 2 sec later his buddy flies past(this is in a 55 zone) Here I am putting along at 55 and they go past like I'm standing still, startled the hell out of me. Peace.

Yep, this is my mindset too. Sometimes when on a country hwy I'll slow to a stop for left turning cagers. Sometimes you just get that feeling.

Yep yep,,,been saying that for years....

ORIGINAL: Mac57

That article mirrors my attitude perfectly. I've adopted the same "never be in a hurry" attitude while driving my car as well. My commute is on some pretty crowded roads here in North Jersey, and every day I see some jerk driving as if everybody else on the road is just in his (or her) way. I believe that if you are in a hurry everyday, you need to get your a$$ out if bed earlier in the morning and start your commute ten to fifteen minutes earlier. These days I never arrive at work or at home stessed out from driving. Who the hell needs it? And for all those drivers who make the road a dangerous place, all I can say is GROW UP. You're not impressing anybody.
