Too many distractions for them..if you are not confident don't do it..if you are do it safely..lane splitting keeps you moving and thats what its all about. If you're not there you can't be hit..lots won't agree with how i think but thats cool..I 'll never tell you how you should ride, so I appeeciate you not preaching to me..If we are on a run together ever..I 'll see you at the destination..unless I'm on the glide then I'll see you there...if the traffic is moving then I'm all for moving through the traffic..signalling all the way left and right.. al lthat matters then is whats ahead and to my immediate sides..whats behind me doesn't matter until I stop..then its eyes in the mirror..and in gear..in case some dumbass, hasn't seen the stoppped traffic..don't want a shunt up the ass.

Started with a chopped Sears mini-bike. A Honda 90 Trail broke my collarbone on a badly done jump, then there was the Honda 305 Scrambler (loved that bike), a 650 Triumph I bought for a hunnerd bucks and a sheath knife. She was the first 'Bike in a Box' I built. No frame so I found one and made her a sweet, rigid chop. Right-foot shift, left-foot brake and a 12" over girder front end. Then the 750 Triumph chop another 'Bike in a Box', rigid frame with pull-backs and a 14" over Glide front end. 
   
  I graduated to a Harley when I bought a 57/67 Pan/Shovel... Bliss! Aman Saviour Frame with 5 degree rake neck, 14" over (homemade) springer and as fast as I've ever gone on a motorcycle... 127 mph (radar, but that's another story).

  Had an afternoon ride/dinner with a group of guys and one told me he is planning a trip to the US in June.  Young guy mid to late 20s, speaks pretty good English, is (as most young Europeans) enamored with the image of Harleys and life in the US.  He's planned the trip out pretty meticulously and sent me a copy of the itinerary in Portuguese.  His goal is to holiday in the US every few years visiting a different part of the country each time but it is possible with age, wife, kids, economy, etc this could be his only chance to see the USA so he's trying to cram as much as possible into the trip.
  
  Since my only real experience with California and west of Texas consists of 2 months of basic training at Ft. Ord back in '72 (still have nightmares about eating ice plants low crawling through the sand), what I'd appreciate is having him come to this site and over the next few months you guys living in the areas where...    less

Especially when I am riding, and I see something that we both saw during our ride together. Out ride lasted 10 days, and she was an excellent tour guide. See you again my darling Tumbles in the next life.

  O'k this happened to me Vulcan riders across the USA and the world told me how bad the seat was. Did i listen?..of course not. I knew better..4 days constant riding I needed a gel pad.

  I once stumbled across a biker bar I had never been to way outside of town.  I pulled in trying to look real cool, taking off my helmet and gloves and then dis-mounting my bike.  Sure wish I would have remembered to put the stand down.
