Two different types of bikes with two different styles of riding. If you dont want to be behind guys on cruisers, pass them. Trust me, they wont mind, they arent out there for the same reason you are, and they are having just as much fun.

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!!
