Naughty Lane Splitters

[Lazy7]

Stting in my car this morning, one guy on a green 750 and one guy on a yellow 1000 v-twin. Yellow one between fast and middle lanes, Green one between slow and middle lane... racing each other. (or at least doing a very good job of keeping up with each other. nudge nudge.)

we were doing about 40kph in the car and i would estimate they were doing around 80, 'manovouring' at pace to dodge merging cages.

north western motorway this morning just after waterview. if your reading this - you're naughty and you know it

Bah, split as you like just don't push up my ACC levies. Can't say I'm an angel either but I don't go too crazy in heavy traffic situations.

[Fatjim]

To be honest a 40kph difference is not that much. I feel very safe doing that every day going to work. Now if they were 80k faster, then I'd be worried for them.

Sounds about right. That is the speed limit.
Oh sorry, that's right, it's not a target. (I keep aiming too high anyway)

Those naughty naughty people. Lane splitting is bad and it is the root of all evil.

[Fatjim]

It's the love of lane splitting thats the root of all evil.

[madboy]

Okay, so doing it is not evil, but loving it is? Since when is love a crime?

[Drunken Monkey]

... Since when is love a crime?

Usually if it's farmyard animal love. Some places it's naughty bottom love. In other places its also a crime for man-loves-man love.

Only 80k's? Bet their front wheels were on the ground too..... fucken pussies.

[Brett]

lane split away, just ride with the brights on so that ur more visible boys!

[Buster]

80kph is still fast for auckland traffic. 40 in a car? Must have been before 7am!

[Lazy7]

yeap. both wheels on the ground.

just looked wrong seeing them getting a decent lean on to try and slot the gap.

oh well

Stting in my car this morning, one guy on a green 750 and one guy on a yellow 1000...

Not knowing whether they were separate incidents, would it be a guilty mind if I was a little worried??

But then I saw they were together, and on the Nor'Western...

Honestly mate... tis a motorway, in traffic. Its the best place to split as the lanes are huge. Splitting in 80km areas is harder as the lanes are narrower, and not as common, so the cars don't expect it as much.

Then it gets harder and harder as the speed limit is lower, as the lanes get even more narrow...

*note to self* A zx-7r is not exactly an awesome splitting machine... a tad to wide

I used to be a courier and as such I dont condone lane splitting and have never tried to attempt such a feat its down right dangerious and foolish.

i think its always argument if you sould or shouldn't lane split.
it is personally one of my most favourite things to do.i think you can do it quite safely
