But it wasn't worth the increase in my insurance.
Really, Chris? It's perfectly legal in standstill traffic, in California.

Also, you'd be charged with murder.

I don't get what the problem is with laning.

Its the bike to the front and traffic moving faster. If they're at the front they easily out accel most cars and will be on their way without slowing anyone down. If anything for every bike that does it, it takes a full spot out of the line of traffic, making traffic lines shorter and more efficient?

I don't get mad at all when I see it.

When I was stationed in San Diego, the cycle riders there were bad. Every weekend some drunk Sailor was killed trying to navigate back to the naval station crossing the Coronado Bay Bridge at 130MPH. Other times, it was other guys zipping through the stalled traffic on I-5 and eventually someone wouldn't see them and they change lanes abruptly only to send the cyclist careening over their hood.

The first time I saw it I laughed hard. Then I realized he was probably busted up inside as a result. Then he stood up and ran to his bike, bitched at the car driver and proceeded to zip off before the cops came, busted bike and all.

the only problem in one of those is you'd be hit with every type of flying debris known and unknown to mankind. I spoke to an Aerial Atom owner at Katie's Coffee meet. He had the windscreen as well and said you absolutely must have the helmet with full faceshield and then you still catch stuff coming up into your face/body as was the case on I-495. He said, semi trucks were very bad. That would just suck. But it would be hell of a lot of fun to have for the track!

Its even more pronounced due to your face being much lower to the ground. The windscreen and side panels do help a lot though. Here is one with them installed:
