There are some people that are terrified of changing lanes, so once they get in a lane, they won't change lanes except to take the off-ramp. The problem is, for some reason they pick the fast lane and act like they own it.

My 17 RT with 23K miles is just not cornering well as it used to. I do the majority of my riding on country roads.
