Anything wrong in adding motorcycles to T2/T3/Bus lanes?
Shirley motorcycles are more economical/create less congestion than a single passenger vehicle?
well maybe not in Gore...

When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
When I read in that article that there is a different law on local roads to highways I realised it was a crock of shit. I also took from the headline that ten riders had been killed while lane splitting which surprised me. But then it said there were eight riders and two pillions killed so who knows how many crashes so I thought I would have a look.
As always, never good reading when you get in to the nitty gritty. So far only five crashes have made it on to the national database -
In one crash the rider overtook a number of cars and didn’t get back on his side in time so hit an oncoming car head on. That should get cassina going.
In another a bike hit a car head on a winding road, no fault given to the car driver. Not much information on that one.
In another the rider overtook a car in front as a ute in front of the car turned right.
And then another where the rider went wide on a right hand bend and left the road – riding with others but no evidence of being under pressure to keep up and not overtaking at the time.
Finally we have a truck failing to give way to a moped at a crossroads.
No crashes lane splitting but two as a result of overtaking, using the generally accepted term for overtaking which is passing on the right. This article just confuses the shit out of me because there is a massive difference between lane splitting between two lanes of traffic going the same way where you have to try quite hard to kill yourself and overtaking on the right with oncoming traffic where to be honest you could be wiped out at any moment.
Anyroad, confusing story with a confusing headline. Figured something was wrong when I found myself agreeing with that arse with the sideburns.
Again we cant have a half intelligent conversation about an article without stupid bitch Cassina turning it into a "Cassina Group riding stouch"
So the whole thread AGAIN becomes about her???
When the fuck are the Mods going to kick her the fuck outa here or you fuckheads going to ignore "everything" she posts incl the "you're a Fuckwit" responses.
Shes an attention slut, any attention is fine!

Rant over
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
I musta forgotten about that.
but WHY don’t they put that on the road signs?
i saw this out West AKL the other night, wondered about this.....
saw the thread.... guess I was too tired at 2400 to remember.
Bus only lanes, probably the reason why I haven’t used T2,T3 lanes.
i am one of those people if the did it once wrong, I would get nailed.

Funny you should write that.
i SHARED a lane the other night on a dead straight bit of road.
lucky I was on the left hand painted edge, the other bike took the rest of the lane, it was going in the OPPOSITE direction.
it was on my side of the road.
i have no idea how it missed me
so grateful I was keeping an eye out.
for quite a while after, I thought seriously about giving up riding it was that close.
i still have flashbacks whew.
