[Ducati] rude people lane splitting

[mike major]

I know what you mean and it is hard to not fly into a rage at the disrespect
if nothing else.  I was cruising down I-680 doing about 80 when two
sportbike riders bracketed me, in my lane, going at over 100 MPH.  IF I had
seen one of them coming I would have probably moved over and taken out the
other.  I admit I flew into a rage and cranked up my R100RT with ramming in
mind, fortunatly I couldn't possibly catch them and cooled off befoere long
but it was the disrespect that so pissed me off.  I'm fairly used to Harley
riders passing full throttle so as to impress with their loud pipes bt these
clowns were a whole new catagory of moron.  Moonbeam
