On Monday, I came up behind a stock transport that was carrying a load of hogs and couldn't get around it because of the twisties. I could smell that SOB three miles before I came up on him. [:@]

Yup, there's that and sometimes the a h speeds up and fool you into thinking you don't need to pass. Then they slow down again when there's a long line of oncoming. Usually ends with them turning left, having to stop for the oncoming. Off you go with a new attitude, and it starts all over again.

...or when your on this same road and you come to a point that it opens up into two lanes, the cagers in front of you that are going slower then cruising speed will block both lanes now ride along side each other and not even pass one another to open the passing lane! [:@]
