Splitting Traffic

I should have said no faster than 15 mph (faster) than the traffic flow is moving.  Cars doing 35 for example, then a bike can run 50.  They didn't comment on the recommended or 'allowable' speed of the bike in gridlocked traffic.  I would suppose though, that any speed that doesn't appear reckless given the conditions present would be fine.  Riding at say, 50 mph in totally stopped traffic might be just a tad too fast for most LEOs to let go by.  35 would appear to be a better (safer) speed for the motorcycle in that situation.    
In re:  "What cops are you talking to?"  I said they were mostly CHP officers, some motor officers and some 'car' officers.

Your right there's no need to " lane share " at 50 if the traffic isnt moving. Sharing is " a way of life " down here.

The ugly (and beauty) of lane sharing in California | Videos

Yes it's dangerous, but it's a privilege we enjoy, and would be stuck in traffic if we couldn't do it. Most days it works, but once in a while you get a close call. Go ahead and throw the tomato's now. :laugh: This is me playing Jedi mind tricks on the traffic.

I live in Los Angeles California and I am always lane splitting because I work deep in Los Angeles traffic congestion, I go in at morning rush hour congested traffic and get off at 5pm at the highest peak of traffic jams , I ride 50 miles a day to and from work. Heavy heavy heavy traffic, so by lane splitting I get home in less then half the time if I don't. But I do it safely , and yes I been hated on several times and blocked sometimes and yet I am riding safely within the 15 mph and I can understand some peoples frustration sometimes because I have seen other bikes splitting lanes at like 40 mphs++ with stop traffic! I am like wow!!! are you really doing that right now... no wonder I get hated on sometimes lol... but yeah its scary sometimes when splitting lanes. I have to do this every day mon-fri. I been searching for a local job lately because I know its a matter of time risking myself splitting lanes everyday...

...its a matter of time...

for all of us, anti-riders included.

My philosophical approach: I split like you do - with caution, always assuming they're gonna do exactly what I don't want them to do at any moment. It would be ugly, but not life-ending.

Off Topic: Today ... 210 Freeway, San Bernardino, being stupider than normal cuz I was riding home alongside a GSXS-1000 that I met at work. Just happened to bring it down under 80, just happened to come across a CHP moto who had pulled off into the center-divider median, standing there, pointing his radar gun into oncoming traffic. Never seen that before. Got lucky. Got past him. And immediately got stupid again. You know, cuz what are the odds?? I'll never learn except the hard way.

Lane Splitting / Filtering | General Bike Related Topics

From my understanding only California allows lane splitting, although I have found myself doing it at times. I notice that I (unthinkingly) have a tendency to filter when alone than with a rider. Heck, I was even cited for it once when a car squeezed me in my own lane while coming upon an...

I'm on other side of the 210, WB from the 18 to 15 in the AM, EB after 5p.
I have been doing it so long it's like second nature on Steroids! Your senses pick-up and heightened awareness just comes naturally (AJ kicks).
Ride Safe!

My Bad. I was cruising in the LS lane and didn't see you come up behind me. But you were nice about it. Thanks for that. Was that a modded tail? It looked line a Gen I, but I'm not sure cuz there was so much dust kicked up by your blazing speed. Good looking out. Be safe.
