That is legal in California. I hate it, but apparently there have been few accidents because of it, and no fatalities. On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 11:51 AM, Scott Stewart wrote: > > I think he means riding between lanes of stopped traffic.. which on > the east coast may introduce a motorcyclist to t

Re: Moving to DC

That is of course if they allow for any transportation funding at all. Given the current state government's hostility to this area, and the power of the Richmond and Tidewater legislators, I really doubt that this region will get anything more than a trickle of DOT project money for a while. On M

You've never seen Beltway traffic.. there are very long stretches of not moving, or moving at 5 MPH... same holds true for 95 South during the summer.. I have ridden and I wouldn't dare try splitting in DC traffic your're too busy making sure that the cars around you are actually paying attentio

Re: Moving to DC

You mean to Vienna.. Omniride is OK but we've timed it and taking OmniRide to Vienna, then the Orange Line to MetroCenter, then the Red Line to Bethesda takes about 2 hours. The VRE is about the same maybe a bit shorter. Driving averages about an hour and a quarter. OmniRide works pretty good no

There would also be a rather large contingency of riders that will be more than happy to remove the door opener's head from their torso. That should be deterrent enough... On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 3:22 PM, RobG wrote: > > On 11/8/10 11:51 AM, Scott Stewart wrote: > > > > I think he means riding

unfortunately I don't think that would fly on the East Coast... There's too much "If I can't go he can't either" hence my comment about a rider being introduced to the inside of a door. I'll caveat this by saying I've recently moved out of an area with the worst drivers in the US (North Carolina)

Re: Moving to DC

Knowing what drivers are like on I-66 I wouldn't be surprised. Actually in this area its almost a guarantee of a near (if not) fatal accident. Those drivers are dangerous. I drive a MIni and in this area I have to be very alert to all those over-sized SUVs whose drivers are usually talking on the

HOV regulations in Virginia allow motorcycles to use the HOV lanes and I-66 inside the beltway during rush hour. On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 1:04 PM, RobG wrote: > > On 11/8/10 8:35 AM, Jacob wrote: >> >> Metro is the only way to get around in DC. Forget about driving, let alone >> finding a place to
