Is it just me, or do a lot of bikers (hogs, mainly) seem to putt along at 15-20mph under the speed limit and not let anybody pass? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)
I just had it happen twice on a canyon run. Just about every car pulled over so I could pass (these are super narrow twisty roads) but a number of the bikes would not. I mean these guys were going SO slow it was hard not to run into the back of them...the car practically wanted to stall (2nd gear). Arghh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Incredibly frustrating. Of course then on the way home I got behind a large bike, maybe one of those new Nortons (?) that was absolutely hauling ass on Mulholland. I was hammering it pretty hard and could not keep up. No cops, fortunately (90+ indicated in a 45 zone). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Don't try this at home, kiddies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

i usually drive roads that i know. such as when to pass safely. keep a short distance, and when you know there is a passing lane or a broken yellow, drop a gear and haul @$$! very therapeutic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I wrecked my 67 Mustang Convertable on Mulholland! 3 days later I bought my first 914 and went around the corner twice as fast!!

There is a long curve here, you can scare the passenger near death, until they get used to that one curve, then you have to find a new passenger, or get stiffer bars, a bigger engine, better tires..
New passengers are cheap. M |
