Did everyone see this video posted by OSP in another thread? The riders are passing cars with oncoming cars going on to the shoulder to avoid a head-on with the bikers. Nine times out of ten, the oncoming car will pull over. But that tenth vehicle, the three-ton Excursion with the soccer-mom on the phone, won't pull over.

I ride just as fast as the video riders, on much older bikes, on tighter roads, and with no shoulder. I lean off more than those riders, and I pass on the double yellow all the time. But only when I can see it's clear. It would be asinine for me to expect an oncoming vehicle to get out of my way. I like to be in control of everything that I can control. Especially my destiny. I hope nobody here rides like those idiots.
