Thanks for that Sling Blade. I spent 10 year in Tokyo and lane splitting was the only way to travel!

Those guys in the video are in the suburbs somewhere. The city streets are far more hectic. The thing is, the drivers knew to look out for bikers.

Yeah a couple...nobody has the h-bars on their bike though, so that makes me the Guinea Pig for this situation in particular.

Yeah, no kiddin' it seems I kicked a hornet's nest with this one!

There's no speed limit there, and very few traffic laws. There's also very few traffic lights. Police don't pull you over for things you're doing while driving unless they're doing a shakedown or you're part of two men on a motorcycle (outlawed due to drive-by shootings). Traffic is ridiculous there, plain and simple. Motorcycles are the most effective way to get around, and quite often that means lane splitting or passing on the shoulder, etc.

Exactly, thank you for providing context!

Sling, thanks for the vid, and the tip on shoulder width bars.
