Well, I don't know nothing about no lane splitting, but I don't need a
car nosing up my a** or trying to pull up next to me in my lane
because it compromises my ability to do what I gotta do. You also
never know when the person on the bike is a guy like me who hasn't
ridden in years and needs a little more space. I try to ride
defensively. That's all you can do.
Quoting "Jimmy C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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.
