What I despise are the riders of them who refuse to let anyone by come hell or high water. They will even speed up to the point of almost crashing their Hardley just to keep you behind. Get a few of them together & the problems are that much worse. If I come up on a herd of them I'll take plan B. On the Dragon plan B doesn't exist.
Disclaimer... I know not all riders of those things behave that way, but my experience tells me a heck of a lot do.

I've been fortunate on the dragon. Never had one of those hold me up. Been passed by many crotch rockets & a few fast cars. I use the pull offs. Many folks are nice & use the pull offs, but not all.
My worst experience was with a MINI, yes one of us. He flew up on me on the Foothills parkway at one heck of a speed so I moved over & pointed him by, thought I'd never see him again. On the Dragon I caught him, who'd a thunk it & no way was he going to move over. I pulled over 3 times to wait him out & caught him 3 more times. Maybe the fact he was wearing some fancy driving gloves made him think he was much faster than he was.ut:

I hate those big Harley RV's with the big bags on the Dragon. (Sorry Rick)

I have had a couple pull off for me but that is the exception, most of the time it just make my BP rise.
The camera used in this is a new Garmin cam, pretty wicked with telemetry will even track rider/driver heart rate. -

Yup when I roll up on the Harley RV's I just pullover and let them drive ahead for a few minutes since they never pull over.
When I see someone coming up behind me (a while back) I pull out and see how long it takes me to catch the bikers again. :lol: -

I have no intention of outing this person. If someone knows him they should have a talk with him about road etiquette.

I pull off for the high speed Crotch Rockets and that's about it.
No one has ever really rode my bumper on the Dragon in anything except a friend in Blue R53 and we were having FUN. :ihih: -

Doesn't matter who is behind me, if they caught me they are faster than I. I will pull over.
Wonder who had that fast blue R53. I knows it ain't me. -
