OP posted:

Long story short..
Left the house at 7 am yesterday,
went from Calgary to RADIUM, Cranbrook, Castlegar- This morning I got to Nelson, Kaslo, New Denver, Nakusp, Revelstoke, Golden and back to CALGARY. All in 1530 km on my ODO( 932miles )
-riding in 38C weather definitely put things into perspective. Beautiful country though.
Here is the catch: Going through Rogers Pass between Revelstoke and Golden- eternal construction-traffic speed is 50km/h really busy , even though its a tuesday., two dudes on harleys are behind me -all of the sudden one guy passes me on the left-double yellow and forces me to brake so I dont rear end him and his buddy goes around on the right. I shake my head and slow down and they both turn off into rogers Pass rest area right AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER! I still dont understand the point of all this... Here is the catch... I stopped in Golden to get fuel and upon leaving town realized the two douchebags were 2 cars behind me -Here is where Payback's a bitch. I let them both pass me on the next passing zone and rode their rear end as if I was an annoying mosquito-harleys cant outrun a strom and when they sped up I was there and when they slowed down I was there....always in and out of the assholes blindspot.....I could see him checking his mirrors everytime I would get almost close enough to pass..... I know its petty but it it made my day to "ruin" their ride. finally by Lake Louise I think they had enough...thry slowed down to 80 and waved me on as if "you go ahead...." I repeated the gesture - still had another 200 km on the same highway- all of the sudden turn signals came on and both tough guys turned off at another rest area... I Think I "won " that one. Assholes.
******EDIT~ I used wrong words “rode their rear end” - what i was trying to say was following behind them- not tailgating- almost as if we are riding in a pack - I did not tailgate, but I know they were annoyed by me

He got dragged pretty good.

Because they get told to shut the gently caress up by their family when they talk like that in person, and think doing it on the internet makes them sound like a cool dude.

The crazy thing is; I've done way worse to groups of harley riders than those riders did to him. It's a lovely thing to do to a rider to pass them like that, because you don't want to spook the horses.

But I (and a friend) have leapfrogged up a group of 50 slow harleys on mountain roads. Just jumping up 10 riders at a time when there is a gap and lane sharing until the next gap. gently caress em.

That’s fine though. Passing someone on both sides and the immediately exiting is dumb. The guy in that quote is also dumb so I guess all is right in the world.

My bikes too slow to pass on most twisty roads. One time I was stuck behind an Aston Martin and two Harleys going sooooo slowly. Like maybe 20mph on a road with a 50mph speed limit. Luckily it was only for like 5 minutes.

You gotta read between the lines of that article a bit because it's specifically about crime rates, but put "Lead exposure in childhood leads anger problems, impulse control issues, lower intelligence" and "Lead was in literally everything until the late 70 / early 80s" together and yeah.

Between leaded gas and CFCs, Thomas Midgely is one of history's biggest rat-bastards.

(If we're being honest with ourselves, while he was a willing part of the process, in his absence somebody else would have figured out the bad chemistry in his place, and more to blame is the entire capitalist culture that preferentially values stock values going up right now over innumerable casualties down the line due to dumping astonishing amounts of weird poo poo into the atmosphere)

From a thread whining about not liking how other people do motorcycles, we get a double dose of dog-whistle sexism and complaining about a younger generation.

quote:

Driving up a major highway to see one of my daughters yesterday taking another one of my daughters with me. 1.5-2 hours each way so we have a chance to talk about this and that. She doesn't ride but likes bikes and was thinking one day she may get one. She used to come riding with me when she was much younger. I spotted a couple of riders riding retro bikes ahead of us and said "look honey, there's a couple of girls over there, lets see what they're on..." So the girls were wearing open faced 3/4 retro helmets with goggles, leather satchels draped over their shoulders, short black leather jackets and tight fitting black jeans with high top sneakers, riding TR Bonnie variants,. The problem was they weren't girls. They were hipster dudes. :-) We both had a good chuckle because they were doing maybe 55 mph.

How do you pronounce pannier?

quote:

Guys I cycled with all called them pan-yers.

Hard to mispronounce boxes or bags. It's like ordering #7 on a menu at an ethnic restaurant. Or in my case pointing at it and saying I'll have this.

quote:

The ugly sounding Anglo pronunciation is correct. The nice-sounding way is only for douche bags trying to sound French, or is it "do-shay" bags? :lol3

The same dingus who constantly starts threads to whine about what other people do with their motorcycles posted:

EXACTLY! Another of my pet peeves is someone saying "I was driving my motorcycle", really? Your motorcycle is enclosed, has upright seating side by side which you lean back onto with your feet in front, a foot controlled throttle and a steering wheel? Never seen anyone "drive" a motorcycle like that.

When I was in highschool an instructor went on a tangent once about how you don't ride a bicycle, you drive it, because riding is a passive activity and driving implies control.

Anyway I'm not sure what people who have pet peeves about proper terminology hope to achieve by pointing it out. That's somehow worse than the dudes that come out of nowhere to correct people on using the word clip when they mean magazine.

But I guess if any time you posted anything anywhere you got a popup that said "hey, who gives a poo poo?" half the internet would disappear.

My 1920 edition of practical motorcycling calls it driving for this exact reason, the author is presumably very dead now but he'd fit right in on both forums I think.
