The worst I ever encountered were in Sturgis, they get a bike and decide learning how to handle an 800 pound at a rally is a good idea, had a guy pass me on the left on a curve in spearfish, he almost got it, just plain stupid.

That guy riding in the left hand lane is really going to be hating it when some squids go past him wheeling it at 100 mph on the sportbikes.

If I'm riding 10 MPH over the speed limit and you fly up on my *** flashing your lights I'd flip you the bird too.
First off, I didn't run up his ***. Second, Texas is a left lane for passing only state. Please don't move here. We already have plenty of you here.

I usually ride 10 over in the left lane too. But I keep an eye on my mirrors. If I see someone who wants to go faster than me, I get out of their way. No skin off my butt.

I grew up in NY. If someone wanted to pass, flashing your lights was considered more courteous than tailgating. In the Midwest it's "Road Rage".

You guys got somewhere to be? gotta poop or something?
I like to put it on an indicated 75 (really about 71), stick to the left late and enjoy the scenery.

It's simple, the left lane is the fast lane or passing lane. If you're in the left lane (even going 10mph over the limit) and someone comes up behind you........get in the right or middle lane.

What are you, "Citizen On Patrol", a wannabe cop ?

If you are not passing someone slower, it doesn't matter how fast you are going. If someone comes up behind you, they are obviously driving faster than you are. Either complete your passing move, and when you are clear, move to the right to let the faster vehicle by....

Or show everyone what an A$$hole you really are by riding the left lane below the speed limit for no reason, even when the lane to your right is clear.
