So does mine here in NC on the bike and in the cage.

I'm pretty easy to get along with but some people just do some dumb chit while out on the road.

That was the first thing I noticed when I rode from Augusta, GA(Which mainly consists of Indians(From Asia not America) who are all over the damn place. To Deal's Gap for the first time was how the NC drivers where. I went to Highlands to check out that waterfall on US64. Once I left the Waterfall everyone and I mean literally everyone all the way to Franklin got out of my way. I wasn't even riding fast. They'd pull over if they could or wave me on.

Georgia is nothing like that. They'll take up 2 lanes if they see a bike behind them in the twisties.

We split pass those fancy boys when they're stuck in traffic around Santa Monica Beach going to and from Malibu (the Santa Monica Mountains twisties) all the times. Give'em a little blip of throttles and flirt with their bitches.

"Hey, your Italian stallion is stuck in traffic and my Italian stallion isn't. Haha!"
