...when you're making some ridge line runs in California and someone not a part of the group gets in the middle and then just works hard to slow up the whole group?

Can't see the second video but I assume you mean the pickup. That's lame.

I can imagine this is like those people driving 55 mph on the carpool lane during commute hours..

Great video Edgy01. How many cars in the group. I hate it when that happens.

You should try Milwaukee where stop signs and stop lights are optional. I have seen way to many crashes lately It also appears that if you are a female you are required to text while driving. It must be a new law around here

This is why I prefer toll roads here in TX... plus the benefit of a 75-85 mph speed limit. Would be perfect if we had some of the scenery Dan enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the vid.

We had a mix of about 30 cars from Ferrari to Corvette. Unfortunately, it's too easy to get split up when going 60 miles to your objective--and when you're unsure of the destination!

Try the second video now - I published the link before it was fully uploaded.

I undersatnd your frustration. This happens with regularity on my sportbike rides. It seems we always come up on slow traffic right at the beginning of a set of good twisties.

I'm just going to say it: That sucks.

It happens here too..... all the time.
I think it makes them feel like Deputy Barnie Fife when they really are little Timmy Nimrod.


The scenery sure makes me miss home.........

+1. As unpleasant as it is, this is not a private road or track, live and let live or drive and let drive..............
