He posted that because you said THERE paint, not THEIR. Not because he thinks they magically appear.

If I'm going up a hill and cant see whats on the other side...I'm not passing anyone.

Maybe your definition of a Hill and Mine are different...I dont have long uphill mountain roads here in jersey, its more like little humps in the road.

Cars/bikes that get stuck behind a slow truck? That's not uncommon on trucking routes.

I passed about 6 cars at once w/ a friend of mine while out riding up a long hill in NH.

Granted, some asshole cut out w/o looking to do the same thing we were doing & almost took my out my buddy.... but, ya know, other than that it wasn't an issue.

I think in most states it's illegal to pass more than one vehicle at a time. If so and your buddy was hit, he may have been ticketed on top of it.

Sounds like ya'lls day did suck. 3 of us went out New Year's Day in NC and then 4 of us went out this past weekend...so far...so good.

Well except for the fact that the threads started showing on my rear tire so now I need to buy rubber.

Replacing them before the vertical threads start showing is the coward's way out.

That's what I was thinking too...I guess the older I get the less I want to push it.
