And newbie riders tend to drift towards the outside in bends - do you really want to be on their outside when they do? Newbies need MORE space, not less.

a lot of this should be common sense, and we should respect each other on the road, not be a threat them.

in my defense i never took the riders course and dont usually ride in a group. nonetheless i do have my endorsement and consider myself a safe rider. dont know all the rules of the road obviously, if i thought before hand it would be a problem id of never made that move... its been said u live u learn... for now no harm, no foul.

Just a story but once I was riding down the highway at about 65 in the right lane and had someone pass me on a v max going over 120 on my right side racing someone on a V rod in the left lane. I didn't see them coming and it scared the sheet out of me.
