All this being said I don't think it should be illegal. I just think it's irresponsible and selfish.
And I'm not going to go out of my way to hurt someone who does it. Just know that I'm judging you.
IM JUDGING YOU!!!!!
LOL
Ok, so you think it's stupid
Would you support "legal" LS in Tx?
BTW- Just for a little background: When I first got to CA I'd get super-pissed every time someone lane split me. I didn't know it was legal and felt the same way you guys did about it. My last year there I learned to ride (Uncle Sam offered to pay for it for free and give me a day off of work so I said "Why not?").
After a couple months of riding I was competently executing legal lane splits. I went from completely opposed to completely for. A little education and experience does that. Of course some here might say I only support it now that it's convenient for me, and that's fine; I'm not going to bother proving my innocence on that one.
You guys can change your minds, too. You have my permission.
Another thing- don't judge all lane splitters by the actions of those crotch-rocket douchebags. Trust me when I say most other bikers hate them at least as much as you do.
I was with you until this part, haha
Not all of us that ride like assholes.
If I'm in the front of the line at a light and a bike pulls in front of me I have to wait for them to start moving before I can.
It's no different than a car.
I've done it for years and years in California. It's not only quicker for me but I also ride a Harley which is air cooled and sitting in Austin traffic with 100+ weather sucks for me and my bike. I sit in line like everyone else as is.
We've already established LS is for the good of the community, a bike at home because he lane split and got home quicker is one less vehicle on the road, kekekeSeems we have a Me! Me! Me! liberal that transplanted to the haven of Austin.
