Lane splitting/filtering: the legal and commonsense answers

There are people in this world that hate (insert preferred racial stereotype here). Are you suggesting that people of that people of that race need to step lightly so as not to offend said haters?

Fwark guys, go for a ride tomorrow and blow this bullshit our your asses....
Its life, get on with it!

And I suppose you have no problem with people who can't push a supermarket trolley through a carpark without playing Pinball with the parked cars?

To clip a wing mirror while filtering shows a distinct lack of skill.

But to then defend the action as something of no consequence is morally repugnant.

I have removed a mirror from one car as it pushed me into a van, but clipping a mirror as slow speed does nothing other than bend mine out of the way. I have vet to accidentally break a mirror. Read the post ..clipping verses breaking....

Come back Skippy, this thread's not the same without you.

Your tender comments are quite touching in a kiddy fiddler kind of way

Congratulations! You've figured out how to manipulate a quote. That wans't hard was it? Now see if you can master the art of lane splitting without clipping wing mirrors belonging to innocent motorists.

By the way, I never eat breakfast. Maybe you should have a feed though, seems your blood sugars might be a tad low again today.

So you're an ignorant kiddy fiddler who lacks the neccessary skill to control your motorcycle then. I'm so glad we got that established.

No wonder motorcycling is seen in such a poor light by so many.

No, actually I was thinking of a motorist who may have had the ~~pleasure~~ experience of you splitting past them on your Victory, clippity-clip-clip. I wasn't going to mention you personally though, I know how sensitive you can be when it comes to your image.

That's funny. One of the many messages I've recieved as a result of this thread stated that you seem to bite like a Kingfish. The message went on from there but I'll let the readers figure that out for themselves.
