eggyolk posted:Passing other motorcyclists in the same lane, even if it's doable, is a very very dick move. How do you move through large formations (20+) of Harleys? I'll be goddamned if I am going to sit behind a pack of those guys going down my favorite canyon or a one lane road in the middle of nowhere.

Z3n posted:.. wave me through. HAHA wow that notion never seems to cross the mind of most cruisers in the mountains here, especially if it is a group. A single rider usually does, two it's 50/50, three or more good luck. What about passing in the shoulder/ditch. I may have done this

I don't know when it happened, but Triumph of Detroit appears to be off the respirator and no longer located in a hellhole between Tony's Transmission and Lee Ho Fook's on the east side of town where only the uber-faithful dared to tread. Then again, perhaps they over-corrected: Snazzy new digs and signage:  Apologies for the lame-o through the window shots, but they was closed.  Raw meat for the sporty crowd:  Someone's ultra-rare Daytona 1200 Special Edition. I think I wet myself...  Yes, the ubiquitous photo of Steve from Great Escape, right before he outfoxed the Germans and jumped the fence into a Burger King to enjoy a delicious Whopper with Richard Attenborough:

Ghetto setup with some shoestring and a cord trigger. The first 50 pictures or so were all of the gas tank, but then I sort of figured out how to aim it properly. It would be more awesome with a <15mm wide angle lens.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Big argument about this on a Guzzi forum once. The best option I heard was to pull over to the side and sit and enjoy the view for a while until they're gone far ahead. They're not going to wave you through and cutting in between them is probably unsafe and probably going to make them very mad. I don't really get why they have to go reeeeal slow and get in the way. I actually got held up by about 40 of these people in a car the other week. Actually, answered my own question - the average harley owner is a car driver except for 200 dry miles a year, so it's just like any other day for them really. Tailgating the vehicle in front and doing 40 in a 60 for no apparent reason. British drivers...
