You are out riding with another person (about the same riding experence as you and normal type roads). They take the lead. You are traveling two lane back rodes with speed limits of 55 mph and they are constantly going 45 to 50 with traffic backing up behind you some flashing their lights and passing both of you when allowed. I have to say some of the people that got behind me made me worry for my safety a little bit(tail gating). It's not that I mind going that speed, I did not feel it was safe for him or me. How should one handle this as to not offend the other person? On the way back in I led. I ended up pulling over because I loss sight of the person. Four cars and another motorcycle later I pull out in front again.

i would definitly talk to him.when i'm riding 2 lane back roads i'm always overly cautious of the freakin deer!they are everywhere!so in a 55 doing 45-50 is just being cautious,now when i'm on the highway or main roads i'm always doing a little above the limit,but i know when i'm cruising the country the first thing on my mind is what's gonna jump out in front of me.
