I just had to vent here but how many of you had the displeasure of meeting
with someone who lane splits at high rates of speed and passes you by
suprise as your lane splitting yourself?
Anyway I'm located in San Francisco traveling southbound on 101 when some
asshole on an SV600 or SV1000 passes me. I was traveling in the fast lane
and going between cars never going more then 10mph faster then the cars
I'm passing. This guy without warning passes me on my right hand side and
scared the heck out of me. I could have easily hit him if it were not for
the fact I was holding a straight line going through traffic and I drive
fairly consistently.
I've been riding for a long time and I don't scare easily on my bike so
when something like this happens I get pretty pissed. So I did what no
person should ever do, I accelerated, passed him, stomped on my brakes
while I was in front of him, and gave him the birdy. Did that 2 times and
I just slowed down and went back to cruise mode. Good thing I have more
horses over him to be able to take him easily.
Anyway if he's out there, I hope you clip a car one day and end up
breaking your kneck or at the very minimum your legs. Atleast you'll be
off a bike and out of my way.
