why should I have to sit in traffic with your dumb SUV gass guzzling ass..
If I can find a way through traffic on my bike Im gonna take it...
and in most states a cop isnt even gonna look 2x at me for doign it... unless im doign it at 100 mph..
Even if its dangerous and generally unsafe. You as much admittied it. "If I can find a way through traffic I'm going to take it"
Way to be concerned about safety. You didnt ONCE mention safety. So i assume your like all the other b1ker bois and just haul ass right between cars. Again, admittance since you said as much... "A cop isnt even gonna look....Unless its at 100MPH"
I hate you fvcking cage driving asshats... This is the only country in the world that has more cars than motocycles, bicycles and other modes of transportation..
Just straight out bullshyte. Nuff said.
you people piss me off.. you clog up the roads with your 3000 lb gas guzzing hunks of crap and pollute the world...
Your right. Traffic jams NEVER existed before SUV's hit the road did they? And Lord knows SUV's are the ONLY form of pollution. Power plants, cars, farm equipment, industires....THEY dont pollute....
bite me..
yes I speed alot.. but most of the time there are cars going faster than me...
Again, admittance of speed. But, why should you lane split if "most of the time.....cars going faster then me"? So, traffic generally is going faster then you but you need to lane split... Hmmm... Well, since you admit to lane splitting, you admit to speeding AND you admit most cars are going faster then you my belief is your once again like other b1ker bois and just flat out hauling ass and driving unsafely. But, when you get in a wreck driving like a dumbass its the cars fault.... Interesting logic.
BTW in several states lane splitting with bikes is 100% legal... we can use the same lane you are in and go past you...
and if you interfere YOU get the ticket...
not me...
Try that argument in court when your getting sued. If you lane split and cause an accident I seriously doubt ANYONE would find the car at fault. Its about driving safely, something you obviously have no clue about. You think the highway is your personal playground.
if you stupid a$$holes in cars would learn when you see bikes to no freak out when you see bikes coming and hold your lane straight and not flinch when we do come by there would be no accidents..
I need less than 1 foot space to get through safely... I will lane split and continue to lane split and weave through dumb ass "cages" till hell freezes over I have been doign it for 25 years and I dont plan on not doing it anymore...
Because having a biek come out of nowhere at 90 miles an hour and fly RIGHT past you at less then a foot away doesnt seem like we're freaking out when we see a bike. Its the fact the bike has complete disregard for even TRYING to be noticed. Because if they DID want to be noticed they wouldnt lane split while doing 90. Its hard enough to see a bike, even harder when his front end is glowing red from the speed and flying past you.
Fvcking cars.. just beacuse you cant do something safely that we can on a bike you guys cry and whine...
FINALLY a mention of safety!! But, lane splitting at 90 ISNT SAFE. You arent noticed till the last minute which can startle a driver, and frankly it has nothing to do about "cry and whine" it has to do about most bikers feeling because they CAN get around easier they SHOULD. Once again, throwing safety right to the wind.
riding a bike in traffic is dumb.. and unsafe... you idiots on your cell phones and listenign to your boom music while eating your breakfast or slapping the kids... all I can do when I rode my bike is concentrate on the road.. there is no doing my hair or talking on my cell.. its 100% concetration when I ride to make sure you fvcktards dont run my ass over...
Does that concentration mean your trying to be noticed and drive safely on the road? Not if your speeding and lane splitting. So while your full concentration is on driving, it probably should be because your driving unsafely!! When I'm driving 120MPH you can damn well bet I'm not chatting on the phone or eating either!!
getting past the traffic by using holes to get past traffic is a perfectly viable technique used by every biker I have ever met.. and backed up by law enforcement as long as blinkers/handsignals are used and we dont do it at mach 1...
But you usually have to be doing Mach 1 if your highway lane splitting. Most trafifc drives at speed limit, give or take 5 miles under and 10 over. So, to lane split much at all you HAVE to be hauling ass and driving unsafely.
I dont consider myself a reckless rider.. I have way more skill and control over my vehicle than 97% of the stupid ass sardine can drivers out there.. 15 years of race training and 25 years of riding bikes on the street.. Im used to being less than 2 inches from another bike at 150 mph..
Think we should turn Mike Schumaker loose with his race car? I mean... Hes a race driver and has experience, so he should get to go 200 on the highways right?? The highway ISNT a racetrack!! I would think a racer should be smart enough to know when to drive fast and when not. Not suprisingly,such is not the case. I'd re-evaluate your "I dont consider myself a reckless driver" statement. You HAVE to be by everything you've said previously. And your blaming the cars for causing such a problem
jsut casue you idiots are so distracted by your lives to look out for us doesnt make me the Darwin Winner... yes there are squids out there that ride wheelies through traffic... but that is a minority mostly the new wow bikes are trendy club...
We DO look out for you, but driving WAY over the speed limit like an asshat doesnt give us much chance to even see you before you go zooming by.
Your whole argument there points to the fact you drive unsafely. You speed, you lane split and have very little regard for the safety of yourself OR others. The only forgiving fact is you do it on a bike, so frankly I'd have no problems running or crazy biking driving butt right over and not giving a second thought to it. If YOUR endangering your life on a bike by driving wrecklessly, I have no regard for your safety. And a good majority of other ATOT'ers wont either based on the post of the guy who's neighbor ran a stop sign and hit a bike and killed him. Remember? No one had much regard for the guy because he didnt wear a helmet. Well, you wear a helmet but drive wrecklessly, which in essence means you have no regard for your own safety.
And the real money cincher? FURTHER proof you do INDEED drive wrecklessly...

my traffic infractions have all happened on open highway or small townships with very strict money grubbing cops...
yes I have been busted doing a 6 mile long 130 mph freeway wheelie at 4 in the morning (highway was empty except us bikes and a sleepy sherriff.. I coulda ran but i didint i took my lumps) but i learned my lesson i did my 3 days in jail and payed my 1400 dollar ticket and have not done another public wheelie since...
So, have you or havent you ever been cited......
I think what we have here is a b1ker boi who wants to be able to LEGALLY drive as unsafe as is humanly possible.
