Wouldn't matter if I'm on the Busa. I'll just roll over to the stripe, look and shake my head, and move back over into the lane like we did in California.

I'm telling you.... your bike needs flags, blinking lights, and "WIDE LOAD" stickers on the back.

I said it on CF when this came up and it bears repeating here...
Regardless of the law, I doubt I'd feel any safer trying to lane split due to the fact that so many Billy-Bob-Joe-Vern-Earls might suddenly and violently oppose my doing so with the quarter panel of their 6000 lb. diamond plate adorned conveyance.

Legal allowance does not guarantee civil acceptance.

He probably could have pulled it off if he didn't have the hard bags.

He probably could've done that too... but would've definitely taken out some mirrors and scraped up some doors in the process.

Thumbs up

kind of nice... but then again, maybe not. in heavy traffic cagers lane change frequently and don't take in enough of what's behind/beside them before moving into another lane. i mostly blame cell phones.
