Billy Bobs in their pick-um-up trucks

[Duki09]

I'm riding on a back road in  which I never rode on before. Speed limit is 55, I'm doing around 65mph. Not extremely fast, but I'm already over the limit and possibly pushing for a ticket if there was a cop with a radar gun hiding somewhere.  I shouldn't of even been going as fast as I was.

Billy Bob with his big bad pick-up truck thinks I'm going too slow for him, even though I'm at least 10mph over the limit,  so he gets into the oncoming lane to pass me up while rocks and dirt is flying off his truck are hitting me and takes off doing what had to be 80-90mph.

Then some kid on his street legal dirt bike passes me up and rides through a red light while I patiently sat at the light waiting it to change like any civilized person.

Friggin hicks need to grow up.   Small town bubbas are more dangerous than city people, because there is a lack of of authority in those areas.

Everytime I see these guys, I imagine them squealing like a pig and pretending they are in a NASCAR race.

Pfft. Sounds like a standard day on Houston freeways.

nice thing about a narrow bike is the ability to move over a little and wave on faster traffic past without forcing them far into the opposing lane.... like any civilized (non NASCAR watching) person.

It is actually pronounced NAYSC'R.  If your gonna poke fun at the hillbillies, at least get the terminology correct.

Btw, that "big city" superiority complex is really charming

Commoners!  Poor Muffy almost spilled her G&T in shock upon hearing your tale of roadside barbarism.  If you keep having these unpleasant interactions, you *really* should talk to your driver about the routes he takes to the marina.  <sigh>  Good help is so hard to find.

Wow...Really?  Classifying irresponsible drivers as rednecks or rednecks the only ones that enjoy Nascar...friggin hicks...what would you call a Duc rider going through a red light or going 80-90 mph...

Not a sermon...just a thought.

This same thing happened to a few of us last year in eastern AZ. We were doing a solid 10 over on a rural highway that had a speed limit somewhere around 65. A diesel pickup (ford F250 sized) came up behind us and apparently we were holding him up. He passed us safely but when he ended up in front of us, he thought he would show us just how fast his silly truck was. He was flooring in and puffing huge clouds of black smoke out for us to ride though. Then slowly but surely his truck would accelerate away. Man was I impressed. 

(for those who are sensitive about there truck driving status and size of resident township, I definitely see more jackasses in cars here in the city than I do in small town trucks)

NASCAR is still about as entertaining as watching the billboards pass by while driving down the freeway.

I gots a big Jeep.  It doesn't do much more than the speed limit.  I usually let people pass.  I also live in Texas, am I a backwoods hillbilly?

Lets not go bashing NASCAR. Ill give that a good portion of the following may be in-bread, but there is also quite a few law abiding citizens who enjoy the sport. Yes sport.
