Third is always my go too gear. Any back road ridding or passing is in this gear. I'm always in third from 40-80mph (unless on the highway) and the bike pulls hard. Should not be a problem making a pass if your in the power band.
Edit: Try 3rd gear at 75mph to make your pass, that will bring you up to 105 in a heart beat, AND SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR PASSENGER
