They do that to me in any vehicle except my F350. No one cuts me off in that

I hate the new facebook format.

I hate the idiots that are going slow on the interstate and when you come up on them, it turns into their mission to keep you behind them. They will got 140 mph to keep you behind them, but slow back down to 65mph when they get far enough away and then as you catch back up, they cut you off and go 140 again....

And they get REALLY mad that you caught up to them even though you've just had your cruise set the whole time

Is it an asshole move to pass them then slow down in their lane?

Yep. That's why I do it when I am not in too huge a rush

not a fan of the japanese road system, the secondaries are crap up here, and the "highway" is a toll road that costs about $150 to get to tokyo. oh, and 95% of the drivers are asian, in cars with smaller motors than my bike. I also hate 40kph speed limits. And mandatory fun.

At least those people have a brain, unlike those who just set their cruise control to the speed limit, squat in the left lane, and refuse to interrupt their sense of peace and tranquility in order to appease the 10 people behind them who want to go faster. Have these people forgotten the concept of "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one?"

I hate that shit, and I'm waiting for someone to pull that shit on me one day when I'm in the wrong mood...and I have a strong suspicion I might just put one of them into the median with a PIT maneuver.

No one actually uses cruise control. They just drive their own perception of fast, then slack jaw and forget... costing slower until someone (you) get next to them to remind them they are going slow.
