Default Dedicated to 2 dicks!

This shout out goes to the 2 dicks that were lane splitting on the FL Turnpike this afternoon, who "shared" my lane without being invited. The first of you "surprised" me as you blasted by me. I was in stop and go traffic with everyone else, minding my own in the center of the lane. After the first of you passed me, I moved over to the right and waved your buddy to go by me and join you. THERE IS NO LANE SPLITTING IN FL! You give all riders a bad name. You aren't safe! That is all!

AND YES - They were riding Harleys!

Sometimes you just have to vent.

Thou expecteth intelligence or common sense in Florida?
Thou barketh up the wrong tree-eth!

Things I've learned NOT to expect in Florida:

Common sense
Intelligence
courtesy
integrity
calm demeanor
politeness

They do that long enough and they will eventually have to settle up.

I've never understood lane splitting, since I've watch a lot of videos of smaller bike doing it. I can't see where it's 100% safe. But I don't and won't do it, no matter the situation.
