this is some of the worst example of asshattery Ive ever seen. from BOTH sides. lets mess up the OP's spirit of his post and start endless name calling.
the OP wants people to be aware that MC's discuss the antics of fools who dance in and out of their formations like jerks, AND yes the MC's will also let you pass em up. DUH
good for you if you've passed the Boozefighters once upon a time. The punto of all this is to get home safe, and get the Boozefighters home safe too. am I wrong OP?

Of course it's wrong for some idiot to break into an MC formation riding at speed on a highway. I don't know how some morons on this forum can defend it. In my MC we ride tight and fast. We do ride staggered but not more than 1/2 bike length behind the bike that's in the opposite line. To have some moron break into a formation like that that's running 75-80 MPH is very dangerous. And we run tight like that exactly for the reason that we don't want cars and idiots breaking into the formation. And we do move over to let other's pass, but we move over together. And if we happen to be in a right lane when traffic has to merge we will let someone if it's neccessary. Usually we don't put ourselves in that situation but it happens. The idea is to get where we're going safely. And if someone doesn't ride well enough to handle the tight and fast pack riding, well that person is weeded out quickly in the hangaround phase or definitely in the prospect period.

All this other 1% crap being tossed around in the thread is just noise.

Well said.

While I think your living on borrowed time with the ******** on the road, I like your attitude.
