"driving" in the left lane. YES it's illegal.

If riding my FZ1000, I'd bump up to 115-120 mph, see if he'd take the bait, and how fast is he willing to go. If he is willing to go past 150 mph, which is MY new personal limit, not the bikes, then I'd get out of his way, let him proceed.

If I were riding a motorcycle at 150mph, the guy behind me would drop off pretty quick, because I'd pee my pants, if not more!

To folks not familiar with this type of motorcycle, high speed sounds death defying. They do not feel like you are going as fast as you are. They are designed to handle speeds up to 200 mph, which the tires are rated for also. Some years back, as many different brands were nearing 200 mph capability, the Fed Gov stepped in, not allowing new models to be sold, that were capable of more than 186 mph. Mine is geared to only go 175 mph, but I have never pushed past 160 mph, and did not involve other traffic. Injuries, accidents, and high cost of insurance, have made these models less popular than they once were.
