My son and I were in my truck yesterday,traveling along a hiway that follows the shore of a small lake...its kinda twisty but not extremely so...speed limit is 45mph...we were within a couple MPH either direction of the limit...a couple of 'rocketeers' came up behind us and ,while entering a fairly steep curve,one of them,with a passenger 'perched' on the back,zipped past us on a double yellow and missed the frontend of my truck by about six inches...the other bike stayed behind....about a mile up the road,there sits the idiot,WTF?...damned near killed himself so he could pull over and watch me drive by?.....I also do quite a bit of pleasure boating and place the majority of sportbike riders in the same category as the majority of jetski riders...nothing but a friggin nuisance!!!

That's some good stuff. I pass a guy almost every morning on the way to work. Every morning he's going between 45 and 80 (speed limit is 65), I don't know how he has it attached, but he has a PSP on the center of the steering wheel and is feverishly pushing buttons playing a game.

Here's mine...stupid and frustrating. I was riding down the freeway doing about 70 and noticed in my mirror 2 bikes coming up on me fast. It ended up being 2 sportbikes and they split me in my lane.

The stupidest thing ive seen while riding? I pulled up next to a biker on a older softtail and he had a full size noose hanging from his left handle almost dragging on the road. (population of over 60,000 diverse people by the way
