Foremost important thing - *Flame suits on* *ignore fail ratings* *FC potential*

Well, I find it a bit annoying and paranoid as in how to pass a bike (both sports bike and harleys) without pissing them off ! As most of you might have experienced the high rate of acceleration of bikes, you know how fast it can be. But, when the bike is riding the left passing lane at wee hours like 11-12 pm, driving at 60-80 km/h. What would you do?

Usually, when I speed up, they speed up too. But when I'm on normal speed, they just ride beside you. Sometimes, I hate the noise the bike creates and tried to speed up, and you knew it, they catch up too. So.....

Shift down 2 gears, hit VTAKK, change lanes.

Get yourself a car with some balls that can pass bikes. Either that or make an ATTEMPT to pass them so they can see your trying to get ahead. They will either speed up or slow down, once you do pass get in front of them so they dont have the option to roll up beside you again without changing lanes.
Most "performance" oriented cars can easily hang with bikes in corners tho so easy way to lose them.

FYI - I'd usually pass them with my slow pos bmw m3 or down shift 2 gears in my B16 civic and hit vtekkkkk and still fall behind....

Then I guess you cant beat them. Its just the same with some cars not letting you pass/get ahead of them.

Just slow down. let them ride off. Trust me bikers don't like to get cut off by anyone even civic with b18 vtakk.

It is normal for a motorcycle to act that way. We are taught in riding schools to stay in front of cars or beside them for the car driver to notice us especially at night.

Usually, if I see a car coming up behind me that is going faster than me, I will change langes when safe to do so. Please don't tailgate bikes. If they are being a dick and don't change lanes even when it's safe, feel free to downshift and blow pass him. But if he's a dick, like you said, he will probably accelerate too, lol

if its at night, ive seen a few people who actually try to notify me that they're trying to pass me. what some have done is when they're behind me, they'll flash their high beams on and off a few times to grab my attention, once i see that i have no problem if they wanna pass me.

however...to those that jut blow past me when im already doing a good 140+....guess whos comming right up on your ass at double the speed....ME!

You really have no business trying to pass bikes if you can't pass an rsx-s on the highway.

I always get a pack of bikes on my ass at night on the highway, I'll be going like 120 and all of a sudden they're pretty much kissing my car when i can't move to the right lane, and when i can move into the right lane, I don't get the chance to because they just zoom around me using the right lane. I believe bikers like that are called squids?

no, squids are riders who dont wear any gear. Riding around in T-shirts, shorts etc.

Bikers always complain about how cars don't respect them on the road, but honestly, out of all the stupid things I've seen drivers do, I've seen bikers do FAR worse.

Oh, i read somewhere that squids were riders who drove beyond their abilities and had big ego's.

coming from a rider = i hate getting passed on the highway / street just because as said before we hate getting passed ..getting passed usually means we get cut off because people think that they have a lot more room infront of us than they actually do ...its really bad for riders who have just started to ride too they are quite nervous

Simple....just flash the highbeam a few times to let them know to move over for you to pass and for the love of god, don't tailgate. Which btw is illegal and so is passing on the right. And don't complain about riders doing that, cause there sure is a hell of a lot of cars that does the EXACT SAME!! I swear ICBC, needs to address this to the general public more to let people know not to cruise in the left lane. I swear, almost everyone thinks they own the road.

And for any newbie riders, for the love of god, stay on the right lane if you plan on riding slow. One of the most important rules in school was not to hold up traffic and learn to blend in.

^^^^ Might be nice if they taught that in traffic school. But since they didn't enjoy the moms in the landrovers doing make up while talking on the phone in the fast lane. ;)

Squids also are bikers who can only go fast in a straight line, like a squid, and then have to slow down to a stop to make turn, and then they squeeze the throttle and take off in a straight line, like a squid. (in addition to not having any protective gear, and being dumb as a rock)

Heh, another thing i read was that paramedics called bikers squids because sometimes when they got into a accident with another car, without saftey gear, their intestines would come out and it would look like a squid when they arrived on scene.

i actually thought the term squid meant you don't wear any gear besides a helmet. because when you crash your head is in tact but the rest of your body get's GG'd and turns all limp - like that of a squid lol.
