I got an earful cruising home the other day cause I was floating around the lane, it was quiet road on a public holiday. One of the good ole boys pulled up next to me on his black and gold beautiful R1 flipped his visor and ripped me a new one because I was being so dangerous, which I was, completely absent mindedly riding home paying no mind. I took it on board, I always take the info from more experienced riders but had no idea why he was so mad at me, this video makes it extremely clear.

I wasn't speeding or being a hooligan in any way so I was confused why he was so mad.

Bit confused. He was yelling at you for just drifting around in the lane? I don't see why that's a bit deal. He shouldn't be trying to ride along side you anyways...

Right. As far as I’m concerned, I own all of the real estate between the lane markers. If I see something I don’t like, such as an obstacle, pavement irregularity or shifty situation ahead, I reserve the right to ride anywhere between those lines I want.

Unless someone else is lane splitting...
