Once again Ryan, I'm starting to believe the idea that it's "blantantly aggresive, risky behavior" almost entirely depends on the "local culture" of both the cagers AND the riders.

Once again, here in what I can only now assume is still "Laid Back" L.A., there usually are 5 cagers who will actually move over "a schooch" within their lane to allow and actually somewhat assist you to pass between them and the car next to them(something I do BTW whenever I'm in my cage), to every 1 cager who won't!

And MAYBE that might be because there are more motorcycles registered in CA than any other state in The Union, and so cagers probably see more motorcycles here, AND all year long(due of course to our great weather all year long ) than they do anywhere else, and so they're used to seeing motorcycles everywhere AND every day!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
