    Does anyone else hate when cagers...

    ....pull over to let you pass?
    Let me give you scenario. Cruising down Route 228 in Hingham on my boner stock ZX7. Going ~40 in 6th gear at like 2300rpm, 2 telephone poles behind the guy in front of me.
    He pulls over then immediately gets behind me....
    Couple minutes later another guy does the same thing


    WTF? I'm not making a ton of noise nor am I riding like a squid.

    Some Cagers also ride bikes when they arent between the doors. They understand how much guys on two wheels can enjoy curves in roads, and understand how much having a car infront of you can ruin that experience.

    I for one am pumped when a car lets me pass them. I pass, wave, and enjoy the open road they have just given me.

    Dont have to be a squid to enjoy the ride....

    This.

    If it's a nice road, I'm going to pass them anyway, but I appreciate it when someone lets me by voluntarily. I'm certainly not going to bitch about someone in a cage NOT being an asshole and actually paying attention.

    No, I love it. Not only is it a nice gesture since I'll be traveling faster than them, but it shows that there are in fact people who pay attention to their surroundings and put some thought into what they do. They were checking their mirrors, saw you, and took you into consideration....awesome. Great people in my book.

    You hate when they move out of the way as if you're moses and they're the sea?

    You fall down and bump your head?

    Your problem is that you were going too slow after you passed. I never let a car tail me.

    Re: Does anyone else hate when cagers...

    I wouldnt have waited for him to pull over. Its my duty to perpetuate the hatred cars have for bikes as I wheelie past the motherfucker over the double yellow at triple digit speeds.

    Or just waved and thanked him as he was probably just trying to allow me by to enjoy the day. Either way...

    I can enjoy the road at the speed limit just as much with a car in front of me or not.

    I think it is a very considerate thing to do. I always acknowledge that and thank the driver.

    I just blast past them while leaving a darkie so that they know they better pull over next time too.

    Re: Does anyone else hate when cagers...

    It bugs me when they don't signal that they're pulling over clearly. I don't want to pass only to realize too late that the car was only pulling to the right to make a left.

    OP is complaining about people letting him pass? I thought I've seen alot of weird stuff on BARF, but this ranks pretty high.

    If I'm behind you and there is no one in front of you, you're going too slow. Pull over and get the f@ck out of my way.

    Jealous? Seems so.

    But I can't take your posts serious due to your username.

    So I'll go back to complaining.
