'Fraid I am the hated one...Over here in England we are allowed to filter through stopped and slow moving traffic...its our right...if someone deliberatley tries to cut me off and stop me just because they are stuck in traffic they lose their mirror, lane changers get reminded I am there-did I mention I have one of the loudest Harley's in London...If they are talking on a cellfone I pull alongside and rev loud enough they cant continue their call...we filter when WE want to and nobody can stop us...the ones who try get varying degrees of damage according to the attempt.....
Now Then, Over in USA when riding.....Because everyone is so polite on the roads with us it makes a total difference, I ride in a polite manner, oh sure, if someone comes up on me I hold my line, keeping steady in a lane is the best I have found over there as then if you ride direct and steady they can go round when safe, I will however wave them through when safe so it makes no difference to my own safety, I guess on the smaller roads or single track roads then its a wise move to let jerks pass, as yeah, keep them where you can see them...I have found that the crotch rocket brigade have a mentality all their own and if I am in a lane I will move far enough right so they can go kill themselves somewhere else...
Now could you imagine what would happen if I rode "ENGLAND" style over there.....lol.....
I put the politeness in USA down to one thing mainly...lol...you never know who is packing and who aint...lol...
Just a quick one...Over there one time, dressed in leathers with a longcoat on...just off the bike and the politeness seemed to be more so...confused? sure was - until, I realised that as I was walking toward a crowd of young people I had just slipped my hand into my "gun" pocket in my vest...lol...it gave me a whole new insight into how you come across by your demeanor...lol...I have played on it a few times...I got a better table in a restaurant, I got left totally unmolested by the freaks in a sports bar I went in one time...just by sliding my hand into my vest pocket on the way in the door...lol...hey, dont knock it...lol...I had fun with it.....Just Wait Until You MEET ME!!!!!
.....oh yeah.....lol.....and I like Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park!!!!!
