I love George Carlin. +1 on his thoughts. Not that I have not been known to get just as frustrated and blow the mirros off half the group I was riding with on a certain occasion, after riding behind a farkled out harley that could not take curves at even their rated speeds.
But I do not blame the rider for going at his speed, and if he is not part of a group or my group, he certainly has no obligation to give up the road he paid taxes on just like me to make my ride more enjoyable. If it is botheirng you that badly, pull over and wait ten or fifteen minutes to let them get ahead of you enough you can travel at your speed.
Obviously, there is not excuse for the one that clipped Ivan.

Explain this to me.....
Went riding around Talihina, Ok this weekend and had a blast. Went up and down Talimena drive a couple of times and did a few side roads. Had to be careful though because every idiot who could afford a shiney noise maker was out there either acting as a rolling road block by riding under the speed limit or riding faster than thier ability and endangering others. One of them crossed the center line and clipped my friend on a blind curve and another flipped us all off because we passed the rolling road block he was with. I have a question for all you Harley riders out there. Why do you get pissed when someone who wants to ride at a faster pace than 10 or 15 UNDER the speed limit passes you? If you want to ride #ucking slow pull over and let people by when you see them stacking up behind you. Either that or speed up and enjoy a spirited ride. Don't get pissed because someone wants to enjoy the ride THIER way. here's a pic of Ivan's Muffler on his FJR where the HARDLEY rider crossed the center line and clipped him. he didn't have the hard bag attached at the time or it would have destroyed it he did however have his wife on the back and luckily it missed her leg. I think there are a lot of riders out there who need to spend less on chrome and the "in" clothes to ride with and MORE on riding lessons.
