Yep, total putz for sure.
Is this not also called lane splitting? I know that is is legal only in california and every other state I believe its called reckless driving.
Hey Fellas... Wanted to see what the general opinion is about passing another bike in the same lane. Is it ok for another rider to pass in the same lane? Some dude screamed passed on a gixxer probably about 6-12" from my handlebar in the same lane. It scared the s%$t out of my fiancee(he had shorty pipes). This happened to me the other day while riding 2-up on the DC capital beltway. I was going about 85mph crusing along a little faster than traffic. I was pretty pissed but knew I'd have to ride pretty stupid to catch this fool and I'm just not willing to that riding 2-up. Thoughts???
Gpmo and i just got back from the Black Hills. we rode behind a group of 5-7 riders going 15-20 in a 45mph zone for 40min. we stopped 2 or 3 times to let them get ahead, i did almost everything i could to get them to wave me around. i crowded them a little, i flashed my lights, i did everything but lay on the horn and flip them off.
riding abreast in SD is legal! but i wont force a pass in the same lane when the rider ahead of me is swerving down the middle of the road at 15mph.
i finally found a spot that we could both get around, and well double yeller or not, i just couldn't take it any more!
i'd rather cross a double yellow to pass safely, than force a pass in the same lane on a rider that only puts 200mi a year on their bike!
