I dislike Left Lane Bandits as much as the next guy, but that guy was hardly "parked" in the fast lane. In those 50 or seconds, he passed at least 3 or 4 cars that were on his right, and he himself was passed by a total of zero cars.

At the speed he was traveling, if you expect him to go to the right lane, then pull to the left to pass, then go back to the right, etc. he would be swerving all over the road. He'd be changing lanes every 12 seconds.

Anyways, that video was funny. I've been on a sport bike forum since last fall, and a shockingly high number of riders are really dumb and do really dumb things. Nice guys, but not very smart. Resulting in lots of accidents, metal rod implants, and at least 3 dead forum participants in the 6 months I've been there.
But here's the thing: If there is a driver (or rider) in your rear view mirror, you pull over, as that person is going faster than you. Doesn't matter if you are on the street or on the track; it's just the way it is. Left lane bandits piss me off too, which is why I don't drive in the left lane unless to pass.

That being said, the motorcycle driver was an idiot. Hopefully he lived.
