Well now that I found this thread I feel right at home over here, just like FRF.
Got another place to post whore now or something.
Got my daughter her TTR-50 today, and hopefully saturday I'll pick up my YZ426!

Bahahah. That makes sense. We don't have that kind of traffic here so that's a non-issue for me. Although when it's tourist season here I take the bike as often as possible because our little small town roads can't deal with the traffic growing by a factor of like 4000% and being able to weave through cars is so much better.

yes, splitting lanes is a must, here. my normal commute takes 50 minutes by bike. the same commute by car/truck is 1 hour 15 minutes. on a good day. add rain, and it can take up to 2 hours or more.

Man I never had the balls to do any lane splitting on my bike. Then again that may be because Oklahoma drivers are so terrible that it was pretty much a death sentence to try it.

That's my thoughts exactly. All it would take is one idiot. I get the utility of it, but I'm just not ballsy enough to do it. Then again, I really don't care for riding on the road anyhow. At least not the freeways.

freeways are the best..... especially empty ones......
also cant forget the gas mileage that you get with a bike...... unless you drive a prius......

Chicks do dig the bikes, that's definitely true. That's one of the things the wife said she liked about me when we met.
