Splitting lanes is legal in CA jackass...:roll:
The last thing you should do is crowd a motorcyclist trying to ride legally.
Check and see if I live in CA?
And just because it's legal in CA doesn't meant it's not STUPID!
Either way, try it around me
OK tough guy, I'd like to see you do it to a HA or another 1%er. You better hope you injure them enough so they don't pull your punk ass out of your Van and beat the living crap out of you
Are you a "hang-a-round" or are you fully-patched, RD?
Don't know any personally outside of the gym I go too and I don't associate with them socially if I can help it. Too much drama for my liking.
Seriously, the bulk of HA's and 1%ers are about 65
Maybe in Alabama but that's not the case in CA or MA. Anyway those guys who are 65 didn't get to be that old by letting inverted anuses like chrisg22 fsck with their lives in the roads.
I'd take their colors and burn it in a trash bin, and then spit on them.
Just kidding.
I hope so. That said I'd actually pay good money to see you go up to one and joke about doing it.
A lot of them and Bikers in particluar have this image of themselves as bad asses. Some are and some aren't and I'd bet money that even those that aren't still would make chrisg22 their bitch if he fscked with them on the road. In addition if a cop ever sees him pull a stunt like that even if lane splitting isn't legal he could get arrested for attempted vehicular manslaughter or assualt with a deadly weapon.
Red Dawn, I am convinced that you just don't know how to read posts. Firstly, I don't know what you are talking about with HA and 1%er, and don't really care. You also have an image of yourself as a badass. You are such a hardcore, ass kicking biker with 38k posts..... right....go spread your online trash talk somewhere else.
Secondly, I never said that I run people off the road, where is the manslaughter there? A cop will not have a problem if I block a biker from LANE SPLITTING WHEN IT IS ILLEGAL when he is many car lengths back and has PLENTY of time to slow down. the only way a biker would be hurt is if he is too stupid (which i can understand if he is doing excessive speeds lane splitting) to slow down. I don't do anything to hurt anyone and if I felt like it would hurt the biker I wouldn't do it.
I don't care if someone is lane splitting when we are at a dead stop or in low, safe speeds. I said that previously. Are you paying attention, or just reading what you WANT to read?
JulesMaximus:
BTW-I think that motorcyclists who tear through crowded freeways at 80mph are dangerous as hell. That is not what I'm debating here. This is normal lane splitting in slow or stopped traffic.
All I have to say is you can't read either...That is what I WAS debating. my previous post:
I've seen accidents caused by morons splitting lanes while doing excessive speeds (80+ mph) in HEAVY traffic in northern VA. An accident during rush hour ruins traffic for EVERYONE.
I never said I was trying to run someone off the road, I said I would block them. If I don't see them in time, I don't swerve at them. If anyone is being crowded by a motorcyclist splitting lanes, it is me, and every other driver on the road. Now if a guy was splitting lanes in traffic at a stop, I could care less. It's when he is putting other people and their vehicles at risk in heavy traffic that I care.
So you are telling me that splitting lanes in heavy traffic is not dangerous for a motorcyclist? I think that is what the OP originally had a problem with, and what I am responding to.
And once again, I don't care if motorcycles split lanes when traffic is at a stop, not one bit. The whole issue was HEAVY TRAFFIC and EXCESSIVE SPEED.
Read the original post as well, he used the term "flowing traffic" and also said it was fine when cars were at a stop.
