I may be a little passed, but doubt I could catch him on my KLR to say anything.

how angry would it make you if other rider passed you in your own lane?
- Thread starter rashidme
- Start date
Isn't a haiku 5-7-5?
read the entire post before making any judgments and when did I say I was in the left side of the left lane?? I was passing another vehicle and it doesn't take that long to wait a bit for me to clear the way for you.
1) I don't hog the left lane, it is left for champions like you to go fast and sorry i don't have the balls like you to wear an armor vest and do stupid 180+ on the hwy.
2) I know my lane positions so please.
3) I do check my mirrors regularly. I didn't started riding yesterday, buddy.
I am a very careful rider which is why (knock on wood) I have a clean record for 12 years and will keep it this way.

Similar thing happened to me coming home from an L&L meet at 2am. I was in the far right lane on an empty 427 doing a healthy speed.
I heard bikes for 10 seconds before they blew past me in my lane... both of them between me and the guardrail. They were doing at least 180-200 ..and they had 3 other WIDE OPEN lanes to do it in..
If i had just moved over a bit or didn't hear them, it probably wouldn't have gone well for any of us...stupid
So let me get this right, you are saying that riding flat out at 299 km/hr on a HWY through traffic takes no skill whatsoever? It was just pure luck?
I am just trying to understand what is it that you are trying to say - Did they get lucky that non of what you mentioned came across their path? damn right they did! you and I get lucky every day when we go out there and ride to work or a weekend outing, is your luck probably going to run out sooner at 300 than at speed limit? most likely it will, but my point that your obtuse self fails to see, is that to ride at that speed (at a track or HWY) requires not just skill but good skill.
But you have probably never been close to that speed so I can see why it is so hard for you to understand what it takes to maneuver a vehicle at that kind of pace.
And if you want to continue in this stupid argument at least answer the question and stop the straw arguments. This is ridiculous

Well clearly you weren't going fast enough...
I hate ****ers who cruise at or below the flow of traffic in the left lane...not saying its what you were doing.
Most people don't realize at normal highway speeds your brain is processing and functioning like a Pentium 4, when you're going lightspeed you need a quadcore at the least...

Your lack of maturity and reason is getting comical. But for your sake, I'll indulge you a wee bit: For one thing, I actually do know what it's like to ride at speed, on a track. This isn't my first rodeo little man, I've been riding well over 20 years, ridden some pretty sick fast bikes, and I know first hand what asphalt feels like after a highside on a track. I've raced enough to know how much worse things get when the unpredictable happens at speed.
To specifically answer your question.....holding the throttle open and dodge "pylons" (pretty much what cars are with that big of a speed difference) is not in of itself tricky. If they were to avoid some of the aforementioned perils that commonly arise on the street, then yeah I would bow and say they were good. The point, that YOU are too limited intellectually to acknowledge, is that the skill part was never actually tested, and my contention is that if it was, there would be no glorious video to enjoy, but rather the aftermath of their spectacular death. I recognize that you're still too butt-hurt to know that not everyone wants to suck the cock of every fast rider out there, and that these stunts are in no way a measure of skill, but simply a measure of carelessness and stupidity. I'm just calling you out on it
. As many a great racer has acknowledged, real skill is demonstrated my measuring and mitigating risk. You're the one balls deep in a straw man, not me. This whole conversation has little or nothing to do with how one sees a skilled rider, it's really about people failing to see just how much risk they add by lane splitting at speed. Sorry if that was too much for you to grasp.

That was a fun read:glasses7:
So your answer is "no" - those guys have no skill, they are just lucky!Your lack of maturity and reason is getting comical.

Ok sounds good pro!

Dodging cars at 300 isn't tricky? Hear that noobs? ? You can all go do this! That right there is the fail. It is absolutely tricky "dodging" things at enormous rates of speed. I still don't condone said video but to say they're lucky and unskilled is ridiculous. I guess if it's so easy we can all go race the Isle of Man? I'm at a loss of words. Wow.
Yep, you and your pal are both at a loss alright, lol. Did your parents get extra food stamps for not sending you to school?

Why is you so angry (most of you)?
It has happened to me many times. The only reason to get angry is if it was done unsafely... otherwise, c'est la vie.

yes.. I started counting them before poster said it was a haiku and determined it wasn't
It's not an exact science. I took liberties in not counting "s" as a syllable so I counted "lights" as 1 rather than 2. Close enough for GTAM!
Very fast street riding is a skill developed over time on top of a natural disposition for that type of thing. Once that's in place you'd be part of a group that would number in the millions. It's a much rarer combination of having that developed skill and and the stupidity to ride like that regularly. Smart people understand the dangers they have no control over.
