I did consider that - until I read the reports that she had threatened others with the same fate. Documented. Not saying that this incident was prompted by splitting/filtering (since the dead mans isn't talking), but pointing out the aggressive attitude of many of those folk piloting these 2 ton hunks of steel. And this in a state that has 20+ years experience accommodating motorcycles in congested traffic.

BTW, put me on a Ducati and other than a Multistrada, I think I'd ergonomically have problems kicking anything.

Like I've said before, I don't have a problem with anybody splitting lanes. I'll even concede the reports that show the reduction in rear end collisions (though why a motorcyclist would stop directly behind a car in traffic eludes me). It's just that what works in Cali doesn't always work everywhere else. Maybe we're just stupider - that is what most Californians think isn't it? (I'd insert the obligatory redneck pickup truck joke here, but I know you have one in the garage.)

Be safe out there. People like this https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/image...E_MvxH5RyBSSmCA are out to get you. Push you and your motorcycle 300 feet and run you over. May she rot in prison.





Yep, even some of us ol' Californians know havin' a pickup truck comes in mighty handy a lot of the times!

(...liked your post here, Steve...stay safe out there yourself!)

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)
