Didnt say that, now did I. Two wrongs dont make a right. So the flying crotch rockets dont justify glacial cruisers.
Just throwing out another possible scenario.

They caught two of them on Broomes Island yesterday for over 100 in a 45 and running from cops. Also a guy crashed and died on a Hayabusa in Chaptico.

When did the Chaptico accident happen?
Or it could have been a combine traveling the roads. :shrug:

Thank you, old guy Harley Riders..... Just a note, this was not intended to be a bash on Harley riders or HArleys, just these two guys. Nothing against them, even looked them over when I was bike shopping, I did look at Harleys, but I just cant get past the cruiser riding position, I need to be upright, I suppose I imprinted that way on my first bike
So you're picking on "Old guy riders"?,
I happen to be a senior citizen who rides a Harley, what's wrong with that?

I don't see the two wrongs, only one. Motorcycles speeding is a wrong. Motorcycle going 5mph or 10 mph under the speed limit.....a pain in the butt if you're in a hurry to go nowhere, but not illegal. :shrug:

True but a pack of bikes 200 yards long putting along is irritating as hell.
I've read about more than one fatal accident that occured because a following vehicle got frustrated from being 'stuck' behind what they they perceived to be a 'slow' group of riders and attempted an ill-fated passing maneuver. Even though this is clearly the legal fault of the vehicle and not the group of riders, it is something that has always given me pause; I much prefer to be riding with a group that is clipping along nicely and not so likely to 'tempt' an idiot in to an idiotic passing maneuver.
Its a jungle out there.

Like I said, "a pain in the butt." I probably would have turned around and found another route or gone home....or just rode with them.

Exaclty, if you are dead because someone was frustrated following for 10miles going 15 under tried a pass, it does not make you less dead because it was their fault.

Nope, just those two. Nothing wrong with being an older rider. Wrong and illegal are two different things, I never said what they did was illegal, just wrong, under the heading of a discourteous wrong. I didnt tailgate them, that would be wrong and illegal. And there was no safe place to pass, or even legal ones, not on that stretch. So, I moseyed along behind them, and vented here in a safe manner. If I felt the need to travel consistently below the speed limit, I would pull over and let folks by. No very liely, I'll grant, but it could happen
