A lot of folks ask me, when they find out I ride "What do I do if I see a biker overtaking in my lane at (name a godawful speed)"
"Nothing, you can't out accelerate, out brake, or out maneuver him, hold your position and let him figure it out"
Good advice, I'd rather they do nothing then suddenly veer away. (Please don't hit the wall)
Usually, you can tell when they are looking at you as they slightly veer towards you. Then straighten out when they look back.

If you are driving and you see them coming , turn your head and look at them in the mirror they look for the head turning try eye contact then they know your looking. If your are splitting then just think every car is out to kill you and stay focused no day dreaming. I drive in the fast lane and try to stay left. See. Too many car/truck vs bike accidents and the bike always loses , Always !

This is all scary stuff to a hayseed. I road 15 miles of i-state this AM and was passed 3 times by cages. That's it!

In Dallas you can usually get away with slowly rolling up the shoulder when it's 100deg and four lanes of parking lot. Just enough to get some air over the cooling fins. It sucks... bike hot as a poker and riding through glass, nuts n bolts and every other kind of FOD.
Rural Montana or Idaho starts sounding pretty good.

. I've had bikers go round each side of me on two lane black top just to show what men they are and what a girly bike an S40 is. They will also do this to people riding GN 250'S
Happens to me all the time. And especially on my Enfield cafe racer. Even L platers (learner riders) on crappy hyosungs and ninjas have to show the "hipster" on the cafe racer how to ride. Until the corners start. Then it's game on
