Slower Traffic Keep Right !!
This rule of the road is supposed to apply to everyone, yes, even motorcycles, including cool ones like Harleys. I was riding shotgun in my buddy's Expedition from Atlanta to Bristol and back Saturday and Sunday for the NASCAR race. There was a HOG event in Knoxville so we encountered many groups of from 3 to 5 Harleys cruising on the interstates. At least half a dozen times, these bikes were in the far left lane going barely 5MPH over the speed limit causing traffic to back up behind them and make passes on the right. Even when there was plenty of opportunity, they wouldn't move over and looked at us with plenty of attitude when we finally moved around them on the right. I love to ride but they were even pissing me off. C'mon guys and gals - enjoy the ride but follow the rules of the road and think about how you represent all motorcyclists when you're out riding. I've read plenty of rants about "cagers" doing this same thing on these forums so it ought to apply to bikers as well.

I agree. It did nothing but create anxious drivers behind them. But, when it comes down to it....follow the rules of the road? Them already going 5 over wasn't fast enuff for ya??

They probably think they're being "kool".
Azzholes can ride what ever they want and Harleys aren't exempt from their ownership.!!!

I pretty sure when taking the driver test,,,one answer was Keep right except to pass......Camping in the left lane is just down right lazy....also passing on the right is against the law....its only gonna get worse....

Oh yeah,when I leave space between myself and the next car, this is NOT an invitation for some inpatient a-holeto jamHIS car in between mine and the guy in front of me.
All I ask is a tiny bit of patience from other drivers. When I'm in my Superduty, and I get a tailgater, I slow down, period. I will not trip over myself to get out of someones way if it isn't safe to do so. If I am in the left lane, I am there for a reason. I'll get over immediately when it is safe to do so.

RE: Slower Traffic Keep Right !!
One of my pet peeves regardless of what type of vehicle is doing it. Personally, I would rather pull over into the right lane than block traffic on my bike, causing impatient drivers to swing around me as soon as there is an opening - not too safe or too bright.
