I have noticed that people seem a bit more willing to pull over and let you pass (like they're supposed to) in recent years, at least if they see something that looks like a crotch rocket to them, in the rearview mirror. It's very handy on twisty roads, and, I suppose is based on the fear that you will do something REALLY stupid if they don't let you by. It's up to you young squids out there to keep the public just a teensy bit alarmed by your behavior, but not enough that they actually write their congressman, or something. Rule of thumb; don't do that stupid stuff on Hiway 80, especially withing forty minutes of Sacramento. Too many potential lobbyists
