Lanesplitting for fun?

[Winter]

Does anybody lanesplit for no other reason than its fun?

Ie, Get your kit on, hope on your bike at 5.pm and go in search of some congested motorways to get your concentration split thrill?

I was splitting home today quite comfortably, got to my exit and didn't want to get off! :scooter:

Yeah - sometimes I go 2 exits past mine just for the hell of it then turn round and come back.

[crashe]

I lanesplit cos I want to get home....... a lot faster than those sitting inside their vehicles...... and yeah it is fun to lane split.

Well, not exactly for fun, although it is a buzz sometimes. I just HATE sitting in traffic on the bike, and it gets hot pretty quickly.

That's one of my excuses too coz my bike is so old fashioned (air cooled).

FRIDAY NIGHTS AT TE RAPA, HAMILTON!!!

Lanesplitting between two boyracer cars as they start racing is lots of fun... it reminds me of one of those very few good parts from the movie Torque

[KoroJ]

My commute takes me from Ngaio to the Gym in Johnsonville, then back to Khandallah. (maybe 10km round trip per day)

I have, on occasions, managed to get back to Khandallah via the paremata round-about, or Ngauranga gorge.....just for the hell of it!

Yep! Been there, done that. Always amusing watching some ned in a baseball cap try to out-accelerate a 'Blade in a Honda Civic. Even if it is a modded (bean can silencer) Civic driven by a boy racer with mad skillz.

Yup, had that this week. Complete tosser who knew how to drive fast... in rush hour traffic - undertaking, 90k's in a 50 zone, etc...

A shame to hand him is arse on a platter(muzduh Vs bike)... not.

Was kind of surreal to see it attempted on the motorway, during peak hour traffic, coming up to an offramp.

Holy shit did I feel violent (note to self, join a gym).

While you admit to dragging off 1 car is fun, have you ever tried it between 2 of them? it really pisses 'em off :D

Ive come up to the lights as they go green (on queen st) between two cars that did that, as they were obviously trying to go fast a little tug on the bars just as i reached them made me laugh...

i took my mirrors off when i usta ride to uni, kept clipping them on peoples mirrors:dodge:

[Horney1]

Never for fun, would rather have some space around me but sometimes manage to squeeze a bit of fun out of it.

There were good parts in that movie?

[Puddlejumper]

Satisfying, definitely. Fun? Too much risk of a dick in a cage doing something stupid and wiping me to truly enjoy it. Give me an empty, twisty road anyday.

I'm in Krackerville... and work in Throndone... Sometimes cracking along the Hutt road and a little tickle on the throttle back along SH1 is a good blow out at the end of the day... but I only do that..... within the posted speed limits...

You'd be over the Valley by the time your old crate got past the speed limit :dodge:

I find I'm never in a hurry to leave the office early or I will miss the rush "hours" :)

Yes you get some dork cagers that never seem to look but at least I'm not stuck crawling in a queue of traffic. Besides given the number of rear enders I see on the motorway everyday I think splitting is far safer than potentially being in a cager sandwich :shit:

I have a sneaky suspicion that we might see Col on some thumping torquey big twin in the near future....just a funny feeling wot I got.

No one will be able to take the piss out of his old crate after that.

Gotta be carefull with that, seen a dickhead jump the gun and lost it and side swiped the other dickhead he was racing. Could be nasty, I normaly hang back for a few seconds then pass both at warp nine (100kpm...honest...).

I know what you mean, however these aren't 'checkered-flag drag-race' style starts... just random rolling starts, where they're heading down a nice wide 2-laner between 40 and 50km/h (speed limit is 60km/h), you hang behind them until you hear them drop down a few gears, and then you simply blast past them :)

They become real annoying cause they hold up traffic until they decide they wanna race...

Although burning of twats is one of great satisfactions of riding a bike, you may well be veering towards Playstation syndrome.
Get bumped lanesplitting or nudged by one of those boyracers on either side it may suddenly be a lot less fun.
