Wow don't they know who we are they better get out of the way. Oh wait the speed limit is the maximum speed it is legal to drive slower. I know sometimes it just isn't fun to go slow but what the heck you could be in Afghanistan or Iraq. This traffic problem is not a real problem is it. Don over and out>>>>

What's worse then being stuck by a bunch of riders on the road is coming here and letting more riders blast you for complaining about it. ***** them..I can't stand being stuck behind a single or bunch of a-holes. And neither can anyone in here if they are being honest with themselves.... I was driving 3 hours yesterday (in my truck) with my dog and no a/c (gotta get it fixed) and was behind about 20 cars and trucks..all of us driving 10 below the speed limit because of one idiot who was "enjoying the countryside" or wtf ever. About 20 miles of this ****. Unable to pass. I understand what the op is saying. So do all of you. Get honest with your self, ya pc, flower waving, tie dyed, Prius driving,sandle wearing,hippie throwback liberals..lol
There ain't no freedom of the road if yer stuck in traffic..

Yeah, I can't believe how many weenies got off their bikes (without stopping because they were going so damn slow they just got off at a walking pace) to get on their computer and complain about someone complaining about slowpokes blocking the highway. I've ridden a lot of places where the speed limit is 55 or 60, and if you actually go that speed, you're a rolling roadblock.
It's supposed to be government by and for the people and the people are voting while they're going down the road what the speed limit should be.
One other thing; if you need to ride so slow you're not leaning in the curves, you're not safe on a motorcycle anyway.

we all learned it, when we learned how to drive - SLOW MOVING VEHICLES TO THE RIGHT

Actually you can get a ticket for impeeding the flow of traffic

sounds like these guys didn't give a sheet about anyone else

So Bob, how do you _really_ feel about slowpokes?

Yep, I vote for Bob on this one.

I had a cop tell me back in the 70's that if 5 or more get behind you, you should pull
over since they will give you a ticket for it.

Ever since then I just open it up all the way so I dont have to worry about pulling over

I bet if you do a search on the forum, you could find where one of those guys in the group has posted up a bitch about being tailgated and how much he f-ing hates cagers for doing it.

If you want to go faster, wait for a safe place and Pass.
Not here in Va. Whether it is city, county or interstate, 5 over MAY be with the flow of traffic. 10 over is normal, I keep it at about 7-8 over and haven't had a moving violation in nearly 20 years. But who's counting?
