Honestly, I don't really care if it pisses off someone when I roll by. It's their choice to sit in traffic, and their choice to get bent out of shape if I don't want to.

I've been told that Oregon has joined California in making lane sharing legal. Those are the only two states where it is legal as far as I know. The biker who told me said that in Oregon they put a provision in the law that said if there is an accident between a car and a bike who is lane sharing, legally the biker will be considered to ALWAYS be at fault.

Dang! So much hate. I don't lane split in Virginia, even though many a brother does. I had the dealer activate my EITMS, and I just deal with traffic as it comes. I guess I am just too "chicken" to ride a Road King with apes and the most precious thing I have, sitting on the back seat, between motionless cars. But dear Lord, I don't give a crap if someone else wants to. It's their ticket, their life, and their choice. Live and let live.

I see A LOT of lane splitting when I go to Costa Rica and London. I also see a lot of bikes clipped and clipping, tumbling, and squished in those places. What he said about lane splitting is not for me...

Lane splitting is not for pussies.

I've split more miles than most have ridden.

Now living in a non splitting state and I find little pleasure riding in town anymore.

The first dry day I am going to get out and split some lanes with no helmet on to see if I can reclaim the joy of riding!

Get stuffed if you don't like it and catch me if you can.....

I keep my bike as lean and mean as I can because I split lanes everywhere and I'm always getting somewhere faster than everyone else.

I don't see myself enjoying riding nearly as much if I was going to be stuck in traffic. I'd just take a car. I mean you add a windshield, bags, radio, gps, bluetooth, can't split.... why not just drive car? I don't see the point of a motorcycle if you can't let it move around freely. See guys talk real big about freedom on here, but most seem ok with being confined in traffic, sitting on a hot chunk of metal. I don't get it. I'm more free in CA splitting lanes in my full-face than the helmetless stuck behind stinky SUVs in other states.

You can ride any way you like UNTIL it effects my safety. I was somewhere in the 30-40 MPH range when this happened. If I had to guess, I'd say that the first rider thought it would be cute/cool to buzz me like that. Passing me at that speed, within inches of MY bars is stupid. I'm the dick? It's bad enough that we have to constantly be on the watch for cagers who don't know the difference, let alone fellow bikers who do! Were you the lead biker with the red backpack?
