It must have been "my" day yesterday. Between US 101, CA 118 and CA 23, all highway.
I encountered three frickin soccer moms on a 30 mile route. The first, in her Mercedes E class cruising along at 65 until I moved to pass her and then she would accelerate. As soon as I moved back behind her she would slow down again.
The second, in an Audi did the same thing.
The third, in a Honda Accord as we descended a long grade she slowed down to 60, I moved to pass on the left and she started speeding up. I dropped back behind her and she slowed to 60 again. I moved to pass on the left and she started speeding up again. Now I'm starting to get a bit heated. I dropped behind her, again, and she slowed back to 60. WTF! For the third time she slowed down to 60. Once again I moved to pass on the left and she sped up. I decided to see how far she would go and when we got up to 80 I decided it wasn't worth a ticket or worse and just dropped behind her....again. Wouldn't you know it, she slowed down to 60. I got tired of this game and just stayed behind her.
She let cars go by without changing her speed. I decided she either didn't like motorcycles, or didn't like blondes. Finally, she exited and I had to resist the urge of following her and warming up the bitchslapper.

Or do cagers make more of an effort to pass someone on a bike then they do to pass a person going the same speed in a cage? I just always seem to be passed more on highways when I am on my bike then I do when I am in my truck even though I am going the same speed in either machine
Oh and Sarah next time don't telegraph your gonna pass when you come across one of those just drop a gear and grab a handful ,usually scares the **** out of them and they settle down.
