I have both. Different bikes for different rides.
I suspect, when passing a bunch of 1%ers, a friendly wave when I went by would be more acceptable, than say, pulling a wheelie and shooting a bird as I went by....
Oh yeah, left lane is for passing; treat others as you want to be treated. I sometimes hang out in the left lane, especially when the road surface is better, but if I see someone coming that wants to go faster than me, he can have it (let him pick up the ticket for you). Passing in the right lane, while sometimes necessary, is more dangerous because the field of view is more limited and more unexpected to most drivers.
Go ahead and stomp it up to 100, then get over and slow down; that's exactly what may get in you trouble with someone who a) might easily have road rage b) drugged out c) looking for an opportunity to show how much of a tough guy he is...
