I love ditching them on the KLR, but it sure isn't very hard. No challenge. Couple of weeks ago one of the new gaudy orange and black Screamin Eagle things with the saddlebags ($24,000) thought he was going to smoke me at a stoplight. He didn't think it for very long. You have got to give these idiots the credit they deserve, for thinking they are on a fast bike to begin with. I've also outrun Harleys over the long passes in Eastern Oregon during Sturgis week. One was blowing so much oil I had to go around him, it was getting all over my faceshield. I am having new stickers made up...."Loud Pipes Make Noise".

Yesterday, riding home, splitting lanes as I normally do, I happened upon a situation I will present to you for your comment. I will split lanes and come to rest with my front wheel at the limit line. Yesterday I did just that. As I was waiting to bolt across the intersection, a bump came from behind on the back tire, not a steel twisting, bone crunching ordeal, but the kind of bump you would get from a soccer player shooting for the goal. I looked in the mirror and placed squarely behind me was a Levi vested, Nazi helmeted pilot of a HD Fat Boy with a collection of chrome lights lined up across the front of the bike looking like a parade of metallic turtles. I pulled deeply into the crosswalk and motioned to my right to allow my brother biker to pull ahead of the car on our right, so s not to tangle with side mirrors on the green-light launch. Again, Nazi-Fat Boy smacks my back tire with his white walled balloon front roller. I said to myself Self, what is he wanting? Does he have brake problems? Maybe a little short on the eye sight? Light turns green, I slingshot myself across the intersection and ease over to the lane that is NOT disappearing and merging into one. To my surprise Nazi-Fat Boy has the hog at full steam, wanting to go around me in the now single lane with double solid lines to my left (a no passing zone here). I open the KLR up and strike third with a wheel lift. Moving slowly away from the road funnel and the parading turtles. The lanes once again open to two in my direction. By now we are approaching the next traffic light with a string of cars, 80 MPH, Nazi-Fat Boy at my 7 o clock position. I am getting within the KLR-brake red zone from the cars now sitting in formation ahead. I perform a wanna-be-stoppie-rear-brake-near-lock-up maneuver; guide the now 10 MPH KLR between the strings of stopped traffic and glance in the mirror. Nazi-Fat Boy is smoking the locked-up rear balloon in the frozen position, not even daring to split at speed. My query I pose to you with the above knowledge: Did I do wrong by the basic code of this group or riders in general? I could have caused an accident, but am I responsible for the missing skill set of others on the road? Or did the Id of that rider, with the Nazi-Fat Boy extension of the lackluster ego and parading chrome turtles, need humbling? == Rev.
