Not sure why motorcyclists of all people get their pants in a wad about lane splitting. It affects no one else whatsoever and is safer for the rider. What the hell is the issue??? I'd much rather get through traffic than sit in traffic overheating and being rear ended by some idiot not paying attention.
It's a normal thing in California where people are used to it. I cannot understand why people are against lane splitting. Seems pretty whiny to bitch about it. Take your tampon out.

In California, where lane splitting is allowed, the Rider Safety Courses teach that its safer than sitting. Your biggest danger in stop-and-go traffic is being rear-ended.
BUT... you're only supposed to do it when traffic is completely stopped or moving very slowly, and at no more than 5 - 10 mph over the speed of traffic if traffic is moving.
I'd hate to have to schlep the King down between lanes with all the bumpy dots and stuff. Between the top-heavy and the crash bars being wide, I'll take the shoulder (illegal) or the high-occupancy lane (usually legal).

There is currently a bill that would allow splitting at a higher speed (50 mph flow of traffic?) Which I am totally against. I have witnessed bikes doing 78 or 80 splitting on busy freeways in the rain -- asking for trouble.
I think lane splitting should be allowed at the lower speeds and I do it when necessary on a full bagger.

For the left shoulder only during stopped traffic correct? Maybe that was here for CA.
No kidding. I can't stand when I'm sitting behind someone with exhaust on both sides, there's no escape.
I still haven't come up with a good gesture in my full face helmet to let someone know when I pass them that their car REEKS.
