....you just have to be straight up and tell him you are uncomfortable with it and for your and his safety to remain behind your and give you your space.

It happens, on the other hand, its a good feeling when u run into other riders and they imediately fallin formation! Depending on what streets i ride back home i team up with different riders, and theres some whos name i dont know but we always ride home in good formation and respect.

I only ride side by side at slow speeds, but thats only when I am withsomeone I knowand we usually are just talking at that time, otherwise its starggered riding.

that is kind of a tough one. But if the guy is a decent guy, he will respect your wishes and back off.

For some reason, if its just me and a friend, we ride side by side. In a group, we ride staggered... Or, if my wife is riding with me, I ride staggered.. I just realized that...

dont forget the universal cop ahead sign.....

Mate.... unless you are used to and comfortable with side by side riding ... DO NOT do it!!!

It is a skilled ( and yer I know, that sounds up myself or something ) but it is a practiced way of moving along...usually only done when both riders know each other quite well....[8D]

Yer I know you will get the occassional ***** every now and then that wants to play the easy rider ****...but most of the time it is bull ****, that should be left at the movies mate ...

I do not think it matters how you tell the bugger!! .... bugger the polite way!! mate ..just stop , pullover or hand signal , do what ever it takes ...

He may like the easy rider movie style of side by side **** ..., but we ride sport bikes and I dunno about you , but I like plenty of room to move and maneuver...

So just tell the twit any way you have too.... !!

I would rather put a guys nose outta shape(upset) by telling him ...that put my own body and my ride outta shape by having a crash ...!!!
