Don't get me wrong, I could have passed him anytime I wanted IF I wanted to go screaming by him! The parkway isn't somewhere I want to be strafing other riders! Especially with a personalized tag like mine! Had it been the Gap, I would have passed him immediately but, not on the parkway.

Doing it this way will also allow you to suggest to the KLR that it might be time to slow down if there is a vehicle in the oncoming traffic lane.
