Thanks jerks for blocking road
I realize the chance of any of the riders being on here are slim but what the hell. Got off interstate onto the Prince William Parkway (4 lanes) in Manassas. For several miles a group ride of Harleys decided to stay in the left lane the entire time and not moving for anyone. Had you been passing vehicles that were in the right lane it would have been all good. But no, you had to drag your asses in the left lane pissing off many people yesterday. Yes, I was in my cage and pissed that it was a nice day and I couldn't ride but still, get the eff out of the left lane.
I finally made a left turn while your group continued on in the left lane. Jerks.

Here`s my take on this , as long as I am doing the speed limit I feel I can ride in any lane I want to, Call it the fast lane but does not give you the right to Speed over the posted speed limit... Emergency vehicles I merge but just because someone wants to go faster than the posted speed limit does not constitute me moving around just so he can go faster...

Hopefully you get ticketed in one of the states where the left lane is for passing only, not for people who think they're going the speed limit and feel like hanging out in whatever lane they want.

Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
Glad to see its the car drivers pissed off for once! As a motorcycle rider, folks in cars try and kill me on a weekly basis and it tends to get me just a bit edgy every now and then.
Pitcher of beer for the riders. I'm buying!

VA Law...did you signal (horn/flash) so they would move over???
