Little fall chill in the air but I rode anyway. Headed down to Hardy Ar. for a cup of coffee. On the way back north in the little burg of Thayer Mo.-US 63-north end of town double and triple NO PASSING ZONE lines and runnin smack dab ON the speed limit-50 MPH-a-well i'll insert dufus BUT dat ain't WHAT I were thinkin-passes me in a cage and Not only a no passing zone but also what in fact IS the left turn lane!  tickedoff And just past Mo 19 on US 63 north the speed limit picks back up to 65 MPH. First passing zone north of Thayer I caught right back up with the dufus and did NOT break any laws gittin ahead of him AGAIN. Well I oughta be thankful I'm guessin he didn't run over.  crazy2 With the blacked out winders couldn't tell if a phone or eating or sex wuz involved.  Roll Eyes But I managed 137 miles today and no broken bones nor additional scratches in my paint or chrome or polished aluminum.  cooldude Light wind today bought the temp gage on my handlebars never got past 53 Degrees F. RIDE SAFE.

If you perceived the driver was an idiot why did you then pass them putting you in a position to get rear ended?

If there ahead of you they can't catch you and hit you.

After I passed the dufus he/she/it/they dropped off rather quickly. The short time I was following the weren't being erratic just when the passed me. It's like they had a set speed of approx. 56-57 MPH and that was it. Had there been an attempt to climb on the backside of the Phatt Ghurl there was enough traffic ahead of me to foil that BUT that was Never needed. As I also stated I could Not see inside the operators seat to actually discern What was going on. And this interaction did Not turn into a tragedy for me. RIDE SAFE.
