I think you guys up north must have nicer cruiser/Harley riders than the typical ones down here. I'm not trying to stereotype & say all are pissy/stubborn about not 'waving by', but many will simply flat-out ignore you as they potato-potato along in their rolling road-block. I've seen some very bad reactions to being passed also - startled/pissed/freaking-out.

Heck we had some guy in a Ford Contour try not to let us pass at the Gap! It's an individual thing - most folks are cool with it but some folks just need therapy!!

QFT! me and the gf were riding out in the country a few days ago and some guy on a full dresser actually sped up and tried to race me as I passed him. As it was I had laid back and waited a mile or so for a legal/safe passing zone before I made my move. It pissed me off because it forced me to step out of my comfort zone with a passenger.

I know. I never took it as that.

I was thinking the same thing. They ride just spread out enough around here that it makes it impossible to pass unless you have a long straight stretch. Pisses me off!!
