The part that is shed is referred to an an 'alligator' in the US. It's 
best to avoid them. 

Many of the big touring bikes like Gold Wings have cruise control as do 
most big trucks. I've had riders who apparently had theirs set to 65.4 
pass me when mine was set at 65, taking forever. I wanted to yell out the

are in the best of shape. Get your ass in gear and pass!'
