I was doing some errands today in my Jeep when I saw four sport bikes coming up behind me. 99% of the time when this happens, I'm usually passed on a double yellow line or on a curve, the riders usually trying to "knee drag" or some such antic. Of course there's always some stunt involved with engines screaming at 10,000 RPM. Last week I was passed by some "dude" at probably 100 mph while his untucked t-shirt was flapping in the wind.
Today these guys all stayed back, didn't tailgate etc etc. Once we all got onto a 4 lane, they all passed by, obeying the speed limit and riding very respectably and responsibly. Obviously just four friends out for a nice ride. I thought to myself "here I am, a sport bike rider and I find myself biased toward my beloved past time". It's no wonder the general public looks down on us most of the time. Not one of the bikes was a Kawi and I'm sure they're not on the forum, but just want to say "thank you" for all of us who try to promote a positive image.
