I guess that everyone who thinks that they should not block traffic because it is illegal are also the ones who do the speed limit in the left lane?

I especially like how they get all animated and turn a nice shade of red as I zip by on the right.
We do it all the time when in groups. Never had a complaint yet.
Did you ever ask anyone or are you just assuming they didn't care because they didn't track you down to tell you what they think of your inconsideration?

(smirk) inconsideration. Is that like hanging out in the left lane, pacing vehicles in the right lane to intentionally prevent other people from passing?
Your choices in your poll are pointless. No one except law enforcement officers, DOT workers, or city/county workers have the authority to block intersections. To think otherwise is stupid, not to mention the liability that a "blocker" assumes.
You need to ride your own ride, obey the traffic laws and arrive alive. Groups of bikers have no more rights than any other motorist. Get use to it.
We're working to change that law in Illinois. ABATE of Illinois on the job. And, looks like there's a good chance of it passing this year.
Good thing for me that I don't G.A.S whether anyone likes me or not. And just to be clear, I will move over for someone that is going a couple MPH over the limit. I also stay right in states that have that law.
However, if someone comes up on my *** at warp speed....ain't happenin. In my opinion, they got no business on a public road if they can't stay within or close to the limits.
My view on this comes from a few years of helping to scrape people up off the pavement from accidents resulting from excessive speed. Don't expect you to understand that and don't care if you do or not. You do what you're gonna do and I'll do what I'm gonna do and we don't need to like each other regardless.
Little hard on the folks IronAss,I too see the results of humans being human in car/pole accidents all the time it will never change.
When someone comes up on me makes me smile cause it means Game On!.I have always tended to ride over the limit it just makes me happy and always go by everything when in the mood.The reason,cause I can!
The day is coming when age will dictate how I ride.In the meantime if you ever see a Satin Black Road King in your mirror with a smiling grey beard coming at you big time,plan on getting overtaken just because I can.

People pass me all day long. Does not bother me in the least. If however, I am doing the posted limit then they will need to pass me if they choose to run above the limit. Simple really.

Yeah, the second part. Been riding in my clubs packs for over 18 years and never one incident. Ask someone? WTF?
Plus its only inconsideration if i consider its a inconsideration. lol

That will also open the door for other groups/clubs (i.e, car clubs, scooter clubs, etc.) to use the same law. So, there will probably be others blocking your intersections also, not just motorcycles.
