    you guys can blow by them in cars doing 120 and i can pass following you doing about 70 on the bike and guess who they're gonna tag? . they profile bikes like mad up there, seen it with my own eyes on more than a few weekends. i've watched as cars blow by doing 65-70mph down 129 and GSP/lumpkin will just sit there, but then a sportbike will pass a few minutes later coming down at around the same pace and they will immediately jump in behind them like it's a matter of national security. i fail to see how a 3000lb car isn't more dangerous at those speeds than a 400lb sportbike, but as truegiant said it's due to the influx of noobs who think they can go buy a 600ss bike and suddenly they are posessed by the spirit of Rossi himself. 2 turns later up the mountain they find out they don't know how to lean and either cross into the oncoming lane or send their pretty bike off a cliff. happens every damn weekend too .

    I feel sorry for the bikes on hwy. 180...that one freakin suches cop is always tagging them. I only took the 955i up late afternoon & night and never had problems...and it's seems to be ok early morning but once lunch rolls around the mountains are crawling with them out to get you.
