sweet-

have you even been down to Monterey?

Its sad. . .Ive never really been below San Jose, except to go to boot camp. I actually contemplated a SoCal trip, but I dont think I'm ready for that yet.

you can ride here 365 days a year, it has nevered snowed where I am, and we have been in the middle of a drought that has lasted years.

only thing here that can slow ya down is near cyclonic winds and hail storms (albeit rare), neither are fun to get caught up in, but Ill take the wind over hail any day


I pity you poor fookers that get snowed in and cant ride, if it were me Id be off to the polaris show room looking for a kool sled to ride


hugs

In this heat, lane splitting has become mandatory. Since getting on the freeway, I haven't had one day of smooth traffic. The lane-splitting isn't about convenience, its about not having my bike running in 2nd/3rd gear for long stretches of time, watching the engine temp. tic past 220 degrees - .

I had a person actually pull over to accomodate me so that I could Ride-The-White™ (that phrase is trademarked). And others who "subtlely" inched closer to the left to prevent me from going forward, which is just so stupid and spiteful - Hell I've probably let more people merge than these jerks have (I also turned around and went behind a car that needed to turn right to join traffic while I needed to turn left - so my good-rider karma is golden I'm thinking).

Prehaps I've been watching too many films, but that makes it sound like you're drugged up, not lane splitting

Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold

With nothin to gain except killin your brain

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He's out on bail, and out of jail and that's the way it goes, rrrruh!

Dealer:I got China White, Mother of Pearl...I reflect what you need.
Junkie:Well yeah, well let me check it out, man. Just let me get a freeze.
Dealer:Go ahead, man. The stuff I got should kill ya...
Junkie:Yeah, man. Th-That's...that's raw...huuuhhhh...
[Don't do it, baby...]
(Freeze!) A-huh huh huh! (Rock!)
Freeze! Rock!

Well I didn't see that coming.

Unfortunately it's illegal here in Tennessee. Too bad, when I first got the idea in my head of getting a bike, one of the things I was looking forward to was being able to cut through that horrible stop-and-go traffic. Then I check the Road Laws... bummer.

It may be illegal but cops may not care much. In NYC it's generally left alone from the cops and in fact cops both on-duty and off-duty lane split all the time. Even the EMTs here do it as well... tells ya something.
