..................... but it's my assumption that slower traffic/drivers should allow faster traffic to pass when possible. ................. However, he ignored several opps to just stop in corners w/sufficient sight line for us and let us by.....so why shouldn't I be irritated w/him? ......................................
...................................................................
There are 2 sides to this..................of course I understand what you are saying.
I also hate the flaming anoids that "make it difficult".............
They clog the corners then speed up when there is a passing op.
But I just don't know about the semi trucker on the Dragon............
First of all,,,,,what the hell is he doing on that road? Maybe he has a good reason, maybe not.
Whether he has a reason or not, he's there and it's clearly double yellow the whole way.
Should he take the responsibility to encourage someone to make an illegal pass?
He doesn't know the skill level of the biker behind him!
What if he stopped to let bikes pass and they head on into a knee-dragger coming the other way??!!
I think a semi on the Dragon should do what this one did and if the rider(s) decide to risk a illegal pass,
it's all their responsibility.

On a road with substantial shoulders, a slow vehicle can pull off the lane and let faster traffic by
without them having to cross the double yellows.............that's great.
Many states have places for slow moving vehicles to pull off in curvy or hilly sections.
And some states even have a law against holding up more than a couple vehicles.

This is another pet peeve of mine that is sort of the opposite of the above............
I get behind drivers that ride half way onto the shoulder but don't slow down,
I assume so that if I want to make an illegal pass, they are giving me room?
I don't like them to do that..........especially if it is unpaved.
The dirt they throw up forces me to back off or make the illegal pass.
But even if it's paved........I want them to drive properly between the lines.
I will decide when and if I want to pass without their frickin help!
