Hey John; in California they call it spliting lanes and people are used to
more motorcycle traffic . ie. all year riding weather .while in this neck of
the woods if its not a tractor trailor then they dont feel threatened . Just
ride your bike like you drive your Chevelle (El Camino) defensively. It's
funny how alot of us share the same interests other than our Chevelles :O)
stay safe. Jimmy C.

I brought home my 1981 Yamaha 650 twin today. The tank and covers are
freshly painted, new dual exhaust, new seat, and a new small windshield.
It
looks & rides great. It's fun to be on a bike again, although I did see a
piece of garbage tossed out a window in front of me, a couple of people
who
didn't realize that only one vehicle is allowed in the lane at a time and
mine is also a vehicle, and the usual impatient SUV drivers who also
terrorize regular cars, like the guy who tried to pass me on the right
while
I (we) was (were) making a left turn in busy traffic. An interesting thing
about motorcycles is that every little thing that is problematic about
driving a car is worse for a motorcycle. Proceed with caution everybody,
and
have a good time.

p.s. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
