Re: Lane Splitting

Brilliant !! 2 Darwin Award contenders wearing T-shirts and sneakers. I can't imagine the idea of crossing an intersection at high speed when there just might be a red light runner coming through. These 2 squids ride like the road is their personal property and everyone else better cooperate. I have very little pity when the likes of these riders get mowed down. I do feel for the other folks involved through no fault of their own and abiding by the rules that should keep them safe.

Re: Lane Splitting

You see at the end he reduces his speed and tucks himself in behind the pickup. On his right you see a cruiser passing him. It's a cop. He got pulled over and he says that the cop was cool talking about how fast the sport bikes accellerate. I wonder if that was while he was writing a ticket for speeding. That cop must have had a thrill splitting to catch him. Not my cup of tea.

I'll bet the cop was giving him enough rope to hang himself. Too bad there isn't a law against being stupid on wheels.

Re: Lane Splitting

Eek, that made my stomach hurt. I felt the pain of the one biker they zipped by in his/her lane. I hate when inconsiderate riders do that to me because I often move around in a lane. When I see a rider approaching, I will usually wave them through in my lane, letting them know I won't be moving over into them.
