Trip was the oncoming guy that passed the van...:lol:

I'm with some of you, I avoid passing on a double yellow and have a severe aversion to passing in blind corners in general. I kills me at the Gap but oh well...:idk:

1. Karma for the guy who crashed. Cross the double yellow and eventually double yellow crosses you.
2. Asshole on the cruiser probably told his buddies that some whackjob on a dirt bike almost crashed into him.

The guy passing the van deserves a punch in the face. Yep an ignorant reaction to an ignorant action but yep...he deserves it. :lol:

That's my greatest fear at the Gap...well, my second greatest, my GREATEST is being the dumbass that makes a pass like that and causes someone else to crash! That guy probably couldn't sleep for a while wondering if the guy lived or was severely injured.:panic:

Agreed....

I would have had a lot more sympathy for him had he not done the exact same thing a corner or two earlier. Van or no van, STAY IN YOUR FUCKING LANE BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE!!

I hear ya. You could be right about how he felt afterwards too. Yeah my big fear is someone in my lane...especially a cager since they take up so mush room. My other fear is running off of the mountain. :lol: I have passed on a double yellow (not at the Gap) BUT when I had more clearance than that and have never almost hit someone or forced them to take evasive action.

I am sure 99% of the people on this board would cross the double yellow at the gap. Mainly to pass slow cagers and harleys.

Maybe but if they caused a close call or worse they would deserve the punch in the face I mentioned...me included. :lol:

Oh I am sure you would get extremely bored with some of the speeds cagers do through there. 10 mph in summer heat isn't fun.
