No way I would do it. Legal or not. Too many crazy drivers out there dying to show their road rage. 
Paul, as you may remember, for years at this website I've tried to explain to so many of you who live in other parts of the country how this native Californian for decades found lane-splitting to be in many cases not only a safer alternative than strict adherence to "lane discipline" in that state but that ALSO how the idea of pissing cagers off because of it is a very VERY rare occurrence in California and because of its decades and decades of acceptance by the general population of Californians, and unlike an apparent mindset in most other parts of the country where cagers and motorcyclists with no "historical culture" of this practice happening seem to think it's somehow "rude" and/or "dangerous".
You know, now that I think about it I have tried lane splitting.
On the way to the Ga. rally a couple of years ago there was a line of traffic about 20 miles or more long before you get to Memphis due to construction. It was pretty warm and some of the truckers were kind of waving me on. So at a bout 10-15 mph I started going between the traffic in the far right two lanes. There were a few truckers that tried to block me but it was easy to out-maneuver them. I was pretty nervous about it because I am pretty sure it was illegal in AR. I was also going on the burm and pulled in just in time before a trooper came down the wrong way going back west. I finally got off at an exit and I think I headed south. I vowed to find another way back home but on the way back there was no traffic like that. I think it had to do with the time of day. It was midday going east and 8 or 9 pm coming back. So see Dwight I am not as much of a rookie at the above subject as I originally thought.
