cautionary tale of cycle drafting truck almost kaput
I was in the right lane in the 911s, doing the speed limit. as i began decending a long hill on I70, a 40 footer in a hurry was passing me directly behind him was a motorcycle rider and he was using the draft I assume.
Seeing an opening between me and the truck (about 2 car lengths), he decided to pass the truck on the right. When he pulled into the right lane, the air stream slowed his bike down I estimate 5 mph or so, . I caught him out of the corner of my eye, i let off of the throttle, he missed my fender by inches and he poured on the throttle and took off. I think he had to get to a bathroom to wipe.
Wonder how often this occurs and an accident happens. I rode bikes moons ago and never was aware of that happening.
