Honestly, I don't even see the point of debate here. If you want to split lanes, do it. If you're gonna whine about how dangerous it is, don't do it.



Mark(and I suppose Moe too here, seein' as how with his earlier "tree/sound/in forest" LEO metaphor which got you goin' here)...the ISSUE here IS...WHY should ANYONE chance gettin' a friggin' "reckless driving" violation(or whatever a cop who WILL SEE your "tree" splitting lanes" in whatever location you may be riding where it is illegal to split lanes will wish to charge you with....WHEN, in ACTUALITY it is NOT "RECKLESS" to lane split! Once AGAIN folks, it can ACTUALLY be SAFER to DO SO!!!

THAT is the issue here and WHY there's a "debate" goin' on here, Mark. I mean, don't we ALL here at least TRY to be "law-abiding citizens" as MUCH as we can??? Or, at least SHOULD BE, I would hope! I mean, I THINK we are "debating" the MISCONCEPTIONS that so much of the REST of this country's states' lawmakers and the people who live in all those states SEEM to have about this practice of lane splitting, because THEY don't have any EXPERIENCE in doing it on a regular basis, BECAUSE, for some stupid reasons such as, "It'll p*ss off Guido in Joisey, Farmer Fanny in Iowa OR Clem in Alabama who're drivin' in their cages, AND I'll get a friggin' ticket IF I do it in my state, to boot!"


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)
