Did I miss something in the bikers/riders code? 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Is there some unwritten law that says you shouldn’t pass another rider? I have heard that ex-members of biker gangs can’t pass a patched member but is there more to it? Maybe it’s because of my size that other riders find me intimidating and just don’t want to upset me I don’t know. I am 6'5" 300lbs and I make most big bikes look small. All too often when I’m riding around town and another bike all brands and styles turns onto the same street going the same direction as me they will not pass me in the other lane. I have even noticed them driving like mad men up till they get behind me then they slow down and stay back even at stop lights. Anyone else notice this?

I'm a big dude and bikes pass me all the time.

I haven't noticed it I am 5'8" 160 lbs and wrinkled so I guess I don't intimidate any one. HD guys love to pass me....if they only knew what my R* will do. HE HE

Sometimes other bikes pass me and sometimes not. Don't bother me either way. If their is a code I don't know anything of it.

I go the speed limit and most the time and i get passed by every bike that comes up from behind me on state highways or big wide two lanes. Never on county roads around here they are way to dangerous with all the weeds and missing asphalt.

I smoked a pack of Bandidos one day on I-35 who were doing the "rolling roadblock" crap. I split 'em open with my SV. 2 gave chase, and I gave them the finger, and the top of 5th gear, and they were spent. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. 1 percent or not, I've got crap to do when I get home. Besides, the faster you ride when it's hot, the faster you get to the next A/C unit.

I have no problem steaming around anyone.
