Harley Davidson dream road right there...
Nah, they prefer putting along the Tail Of The Dragon at 5mph and not pulling over to let anyone by them, even when they have a mile of traffic stacked up behind them.
They think they're in a parade ride when that happens.
You're not allowed to pass the Road Captain you know...

All that road needs to do is give me a couple hundred feet of dotted line and berkeley those guys. It's not there though.

I was at the Tail Of The Dragon and I went for an evening/night drive and some guy was ahead of me in a big bagger Harley with running boards on it. And he thinks he's going to be Billy Bad Ass and keep ahead of me and he's riding like his life depends on it, dragging the running boards around every turn and throwing up showers of sparks. And I'm behind him in a Miata with a stock 1.6L and I'm driving at like 4/10ths. I was pretty amused by it. I guarantee he had holes through those running boards by the time he got Maryville. Might have taken some rubber off his soles too.
In all fariness. I was stuck behind a couple Milwakuee paint shakers while riding my LeMans. I figured "I'll show these guys a thing or two" and passed them, letting them hear the sweet bark of a pair of LaFranconi pipes.
As I pushed it into the next corner, I see a string of hardened concrete "plops" from a cement truck right in my line as I'm heading into the corner.
I messed up, stood the bike up trying to avoid them and nearly wound up in the ditch because of it. Thankfully the guys I passed were still around the corner and out of sight so they didn't see me eating my humble pie.
Once I calmed down and thought about what an idiot I had been, I turned around and went home for the rest of the day.
I clearly wasn't in the headspace to be riding that day.
