Yeah, the operative words here are "safe and sane"! Which doesn't describe a whole lot of the nut cases in cars(especially pretty young women in new cars ) who are also a "passive" part of this road technique. I did some lane splitting while I was in Cali a couple of years ago, saved a TON of time. But I was scared sheetless the whole time I was doin it!



What bike of yours were you riding at the time, Rich?

'Cause to be honest with ya here, if I were riding my Indian Springfield with those crash bars and hard saddlebags sticking out the sides of it, I doubt I'd be lane-splitting with that one, either.

(...except maybe if there were room between cars that were lined up and stopped at some red-lighted intersection...but on the freeways?...probably not, as that bike is too wide to do it, I'd think)

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)
