I am new to this, but I was running the 35 mph speed limit in the curves, but most locals drive the road a lot faster than the speed limit. The name of the road is Gay Road, but it's nickname is "The 500" (which is better than Gay road LOL) .I was raised out there, and in a car ,I'm guilty of running faster than the posted speed. I would never tailgate anyone like I was being tailgated though.

There is something common EVERYWHERE, most of the people driving are as2hol2s that can't drive for good.
Sadly people tailgating motorcycles that are not going full speed is not uncommon.
If someone is tailgating you, then you have two options:
1)Outrun him/her
2)Lean to right and let them pass.
Things i would advise not to do when someone is tailgating you
1) Emergency stop
If you have to make an emergency stop because someone is tailgating you, then you are going to spend more time doing emergency stop than riding.
2)Arguing fighting with the tailgater.
It's just a waste of time and could escalated fast
