Riding Annoyances

[Thaloc]

Bored and have some free time at work.... I was thinking about my ride yesteday up to one of the lakes close to me, about 30 minute ride one way. Anyhow, does it bother you guys when your about to pass a car and they pull over to the shoulder like you needed that extra 2 feet of room? I cant decide if its another rider in his/her car just being polite and giving me more room or..? either way for some reason it really aggrivates me, like they doubt my ability to pass them. Anyone else have any any annoyances on the road?

i appreciate it and wave to the cager as i pass.

just gotta be careful that they are being safe about using the shoulder, you dont want a nervous cage hitting gravel or whatever then yanking the wheel back into your path by accident/impulse.

I don't like it when another rider that I don't know wants to ride next to me in the same lane. 1. I may need that space for road debris or something unexpected 2. I don't know the skill of the other rider and don't want him/her to cause me to wreck by doing something stupid. I dont mind when Im stopped at a light or something but not while riding and especially in traffic.

I dont like riding side-by-side period. Ill take any lane position in a staggard formation, but I want free reign over my entire lane.

I ride side by side with my NCO, looks weird, a buell and a gixxer750 side by side. I only forgive the gixxer riding offense because he sees things the way we do, ride what you want to ride, for your own reasons. I only ride side by side with him because...

1. It's only about 2.5 miles from work to the turn in point for his neighborhood.

2. It really gets peoples attention.

3. We aren't side by side the whole trip, we stagger for a few hundred feet, then side by side....so on and so forth.

i have fun when one tries to come in my lane I have removed a couple of mirrors and put some nice dents in doors[cool]!!! But I hate when they slow down and stare at you in their side mirror that aggravates the crap out of me!!! cause their watching me and not the road making a great chance for a accident

I hate it when they wanna turn left and get WAY to the right side of the lane and almost off the damn road to keep you from passing them on the right
