I just think its odd to finally see a harley try and pass..they are usually the ones being passed or holding up traffic.

I can't for the life of me understand what fun driving the dragon on a cruiser can be. Its slow, hardly turnes and all you do is hold up traffic. Thats another thing too..... with all the places to pull off, why do Harley drivers insist on owning the road? Hell, even if another S2000 gets behind me and is running faster, I pull off......... sport bikes too. A Harley... forget it.. they just cruise along...15-20mph...

I say we all buy paint ball guns and start blasting when they don't get out of the way...

Good idea except that some of them are likely to shoot back.... with live ammo.

No thats a really good idea........ they can't shoot back because they need both hands to control thier "hogs" on the dragon... our passengers are free to fire at will.. and they'll never catch up with us!

I think they don't pull off because they often lack the skill necessary to manage those very hefty bikes in gravel, I have seen several just 'flop' over as soon as they left clean pavement. I don't think it's the experienced riders that are the problem, it's the weekend warriors and wannabees that tend to exhibit the most "Harley" attitude. At least until you get to the other extreme, the so-called "1%ers" I just give those guys a wide berth.

I suggest all future S2000 Dragon t-stirts have "I hate Harleys" printed on the back.
