Eh, I think it has less to do with the bike and more the type of personality bikers usually have.

I’d like to know his excuse for not being in the right lane.

1998 Chevy S10 Blazer. Replacing the rear-most driver side spark plug required you to mangle a socket and use an open end wrench on the socket to remove it. For whatever reason, GM decided that the steering shaft belonged exactly in front of that spark plug.

I dunno man, I’ve seen some pretty awful shit happen on the NYC subway. It takes a lot to get anyone to so much as wince there.

2012 Street Triple R.

I'm sure Blizzaks would grip better, but I've had extraordinary luck with my Conti ExtremeContact DWS all-seasons. Still not dedicated snow tires though...

Nice to see people coming together. That said, $25k in repairs and they couldn't straighten out the left headlight?

You know what would stop tailgating? Teaching people that the left lane is for passing. You bet your ass I'm going to be right behind you if you're hanging out in the left lane and I'm trying to get somewhere. I'd bet Germany doesn't have a tailgating problem.

So how far north did you guys get? I love seeing roads I recognize online. Used to cycle on the twisty road along the water with the hairpin in Fort Lee, what a blast.
