I'm on a very busy stretch of I-40, mindin my own jon brown business in thinning evening commute. I'm doing ~80mph in cool position (half leaning on the tank with the left arm folded across the tank). Out of no where here comes an R1 (03' model) blowin by me like I'm sitting still.
Here is the kicker, the dude was wearing ankle socks, tennis shoes, shorts and a T-shirt. Initially I was like what a bung hole. I contimplated catching him to do a lil smack down, but two things slowed my decision.
1. Heavy traffic
2. Plug in rear tire (fixed now by the way)
Anyway, after a minute of so I figured what the hay I'm goin to go and get him, CAUTIOUSLY. Withing a few seconds I'm coming up behind him and he's in the far left lane boxed in with 3 cars in the lane to his immediate right. So I've got him now right....wrong he cuts between two cars into a space barely big enough for his bike goes into the far right lane accelarates and passes a line of cars and cuts back across the lanes to the far left.
So I'm left with all the brake lights and horns as he weaves carelessly through traffic half naked.
No I'm no hyprocrit because I'm guilty of less than safe riding on more than one occassion. However, it seemed like this bung hold had something to prove. This is exactly the kind of rider that makes cops treat everyone like criminals. Had this guy lost it and gone down, there would have been at least a 5 car pile up, with possibly some casualties.
Initially I was a lil pissed at him, then it occurred to me, it's lonely at the top LOL LOL LOL. Guess he was out to prove he could pass a laid back busa rider in evening traffic on one of the busiest highways in America. Poor fella, I'm glad he came out of it unscathed. I pray next time will be the same for him and all around him.
