I was confronted by three morons on a 200 mile roundtrip trip yesterday blocking the fast lane with no one in front of them. Every time I gave a signal and attempted to go around they sped up. Being in my Diesel Silverado and having balls the size of Texas I ended up using the shoulder to pass them "carefully" and of course immediately after the high beams and the honking started as if they had leased Interstate 5 for the day. Once in front, I dropped the duramax in low gear manually to put out a ton of black smoke and proceeded to spray wash my windshield repeatedly. The funny part came when they tried to pass me up and did not realize that Kendall had worked on performance upgrades for my truck - all they saw was a smile on my face and a wave goodbye.

While riding my CBX on I-5 several years ago, I did EXACTLY the same thing for EXACTLY the same reason - and got EXACTLY the same results!
Isn't it amazing how those pukes ALWAYS seem to be able to find their acclerator as your doing that (...not that it does 'em any good)?
(The WSP supposedly was going to crack down on passing lane perchers. Ya, right. I haven't seen it.)

You rode a CBX? That is amazing giving you rarely drive a car. A CBX shouldn't have any problems passing any yo-yo no matter if they are blocking the road or not.

Yeeew can shuddup, too! :lol
You're right about the CBX though. In their day, they were THEE end all & be all in the 2 wheel world. (I believe it was 'Cycle World'(?) that discribed 'em back then as, "an engine...with just enough connected to it to allow it to get down the road"...or something darn close to that.)
Still to this day, those 6, transverse, in-line cylinders & chromed header pipes are darned impressive looking when they're coming straight atcha...or you look up and see 'em in your rv mirror! :biggrin

I knew a guy that always passed doing a wheelie with his CBX. Amazing seeing that huge engine up in the air! That always got the attention of the slower driver.
Couldn't have done anything good for the frame or forks though.

I was on a road trip and came upon 7 cars behind an idiot in the fast lane going about 60 with someone in the right doing the same. It went on for miles and I thought somebody was going to pull a gun for a minute(there would have been if I had carried that day) I was in a Z06 and after a while I was able to squeeze up front and I immediatly got on the brakes and slowed him to about 40 and all the people started passing and every one of them were waving and saying thank you.

You seem to be correct in that the engine is a structure member and can be considered part of the frame. But note where the triple clampes attach to some black frame members.

You have a CBX ??? Wow,, Know I know why I like you,,,

That's EXACTLY the one I had. It was the (gulp) candy red color (in ICE's photo). (Well? They didn't OFFER midnite blue, dang it!)
The '79 model was the last of the 'high h.p.' units. 'Power was bumped down a tad from '80 'til that model was discontinued.

This is a serious problem up here. They are called left lane campers. They tend to be self righteous citizen law enforcers. They are the # 1 cause of road rage.
In my area south of Seattle, they are commonly driving a Prius or Subaru. The Subaru will be plastered with John Kerry stickers and there is a Kayak on the roof.

Much of the problem would go away if cruise control devices would be banned.
Enforcement by the WSP is not so obvious. I read a few months ago they issued something like 14,000 warnings AND 5,000 TICKETS FOR REPEAT OFFENDERS.
I seem to be behind most of them one time or another. So I usually pass them on the right....beats getting a ticket for agressive driving caused by flashing the
lights ....which does no good as those perp's ahead of me only use their mirrors for backing up or putting on their make-up.
