Thumbs down Unacceptable Behavior on the Dragon

This is 100% unacceptable and totally unnecessary . Driving across the yellow lines KILLS and gives our community a bad reputation. PLEASE DON'T DO IT AGAIN!

if you can't keep it on your side of the road you shouldn't be driving.

If I had decided to push it at one corner instead of just cruise, I could have killed a motorcyclist this weekend. He was passing a slow car in the opposite lane (my lane). These are blind freaking corners we're talking about with some people coming the opposite direction at fairly high speeds.

Maybe you should talk to them privately instead of publicly if you have a problem with their driving/road manners. Calling people out like that does nothing but piss people off.

it goes both ways; i don't excuse the motorcyclists from crossing the double either. at the beginning of all our sport group rides we do a walk through of rules and crossing the double yellow is verboten.

re calling qweef out, i actually toned down my verbage. i can apprecaite that he's just a kid (i was at least as much of an idiot when i was his age - i just had far less money to piss away on sh*t) and based on his actions he doesn't appear to have a maturing influence in his life (at least one to mature his attitude towards motorcycles.) looking back, i owe my life to the guy that straightened me out. qweef can think i'm a tool as much as he wants so long as my chiding embarrases him into not being such a dingleberry about bikes.

and if you're wondering who died and left me in charge, the son of the guy that pulled me back from being a statistic did when he was killed by a soccer mom that wasn't paying attention and cut him off, sending him down an embankment where he died. sorry - i'm irrationally emotional about this stuff...

Honestly, while I do agree they should be keeping it within their lane, I don't think the public call out was necessary.

And as for Quivers, I've known many people that drive like him, and they're so set in their ways that they won't do anything about it until its too late. If he can't tone his driving down then he'll learn the hard way, I don't see how it affects you.

And fyi, if you think a little lane crossing is bad, this is how people drive out in AZ:
