Actually, it's been my impression that cage drivers tend to give me plenty of room. Must be the HOG patch.

this happens to me pretty often. i ride aggressively usually about 10-15 over and people still tend to pass me. i don't know if its the pipes, or if they get some sort of power trip from passing a motorcycle, but then again maybe they just drive aggressively like i do.

You're more likely to be passed on a bike because the passer knows you'll be glad to share your lane if he encounters oncoming traffic. It's common sense.

You have offended me with the your flag.

Maybe it's just here locally but I tend to pass guys on Harley's when I'm stuck in the cage because they can't seem to hold a steady speed better than +/- 5mph. The constant yo-yo-ing of their speed, and having to constantly hit the brakes/gas/brakes/gas so I'm not riding their tire is INCREDIBLY annoying!


When I'm on the bike I don't really get passed any more than when I'm in the car though. I drive them both kinda slow so I expect it.

I don't mind getting passed. I hate the ones that ride your *ss, like one car length behind you on the freeway.
