California was horrible for it in the areas I was in. That's where the emergency lane riders and the super weavers would be. Traffic was at a standstill but I could see these guys coming in between the lanes for miles. I had a good mind to just open my door and let them go over it...

But it wasn't worth the increase in my insurance.

While arguably ill-advised, I believe lane-splitting is legal in California; however, it is not legal here. You can usually spot the a-holes a mile away, though - if you think riding on interstates in shorts and flip-flops is a good idea, you clearly possess no sense whatsoever.

Oh yeah, it's legal there. That's what blew my mind...

HATER!!! Just cuz you don't have motorcycle fashion sense...

My favorite one was the guy that was stuck behind the truck. Well I blipped out and passed him and the truck. Next thing I know he blippes out from behind the truck and gets in front of me.

Then he slows down to 50 miles an hour and proceeds to pull a wheelie in front of me and ride it for a mile while accelerating away.

I just though please don't Fcuk this up because you will be a red smear on my nice clean undercarriage.

What a Tool...

And he was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops...

I look like I'm ready to play in the snow when I'm all geared up. Totally dorky, but I'm not taking any chances. What you wear when you get on the bike is what you'll be wearing when you come off the bike...

Edit: Just realize that kid looks like you in the face too... even better!

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.

If it's legal, I don't mind it. If it's illegal, I do. Simple as that.

At least in California it's part of the norm, so drivers know bikes might be splitting lanes in traffic.

Here in NOVA it's just flat out dangerous.

Even in KA people still don't look for motorcycles. My buddy got run of the road and he was not even lane splitting...

I wish it was legal in MD but then again people here really can't drive...

it's actually surprising how few people in LA understand that it's legal. You still see people opening their car doors and parking across lanes to prevent it.


Splitting lanes in VA is suicide. I've seen all sorts of bad things happen to people that tried it
