Ah, another tuff guy.....

I've always wondered if there were rules to passing slower traffic on the highway. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to watch out for ball bearings, screws and the like from now on.

We get a lot of big clubs around here during the Boogie (Outlaws, Black Pistons, SOS), and I have passed them on the highway and have never gotten any grief over it. as a matter of fact most of the guys have been nothing but cool when I have had the chance to stop and talk to them.

Your boss/Ride Captain might want to reconsider the security assignments, and put a grown-up in that position before you cause real damage.

I don't know if he did or didn't do it but you veiled threat guys.. Just come out and say in the unlikely event I am in your area behind you and some cage has their bumper close to your rear wheel and you toss out a bearing to back them off. I am going to force your group to stop and then I am going to walk up to you and say put up your dukes whilst your club watches me stomp your ***.

Is the veiled threat because you know you aren't really packing the gear to do it or is it because you realize how utterly stupid it sounds?

Anyhow, you seem to be missing the point where he said the cage had his bumper close to his rear wheel or something like that. If that doesn't require some direct action I don't know what does. So save the veiled threats they look silly.

Thanks

Kinda hard to answer the OP's question without more info.
How many bikes in your group is the main question and what lane were you guys in?
If you were in the left lane and were a large group? I would run right through your asses too.
If you were just a few bikes and you saw other bikes trying to enter the highway, then I don't see why the other riders did what you say they did, they would have had time to adjust speed so as to not enter the lane at the same time you guys did. Just like if it were an 18 wheeler, the law in most states says the left lane belongs to the motorist already in it. If you are entering the interstate, you must yield to the left lane.

That said, that lane was yours if you were in it but if you were in a LARGE group of bikes? I would plow right through your asses! I sure as hell am not going to STOP on the onramp and wait till you pass!
And I don't care what club it is. There is no such thing as respect, there is only dis-respect. Entering the highway when a large group of bikes is blocking the left lane is NOT disrespect so get over it.

The RESPECTFUL thing to do would have been to let them thru and not bitch about it.
