    I didnt say he was faster than me, just that he was riding too fast for the conditions.

He is usually not holding on and so tall he is having to lift his legs to stop his feet touching the ground..

    Its quite funny thundering along and herding 5-10 scooters in front of me.. insane the lot of em.

    Oh, I should also add tip #4: ride as slowly and as constantly as possible. I cant remember the last time I had to emergency brake, or even slow down more than 10kmh while lane splitting. Doing this gives me more time to be aware whats going on around me, and *prepare*.

    FFS: you keep contradicking yourself in this thread.

    You start by saying you do 120 everywhere, and lane split like hell, and everyone thinks your nuts?

    Now your telling everyone to slow down..............

    Crazy people?

    Best to let this one die buddy and try again another day. Fail.

    Actually, I think what we have here is a reading comprehension failure..

    I said I was doing 120, and not lane splitting at the time, He was entering traffic at at least 130 AND THEN lane splitting..

    And I said when lane splitting I try and keep my speed constant and smooth, with no mention of what the speed was.

    perhaps you should refrain from commenting until such time as you understand what is being said?
