Lane splitting

This guy is on the 10r forum. Thought I would share, and let all of you discuss it. He also claim that he hit 103mph doing this once

god damn, I was just waiting for someone to switch lanes on him. Is he somewhere it's legal?

I am guilty of doing this, but not in that much traffic.

I wont do it because I live in NJ.
If I were in Cali, it would be a different story all together.

Legal or not. Those speeds are crazy

I like fast but not in that tight of quarters...unless I'm in a NASCAR mobile.

Yes, the vid says he's in LA at the beginning...in which case it would be legal. But over 60 mph? Fuck him.

I agree with you, that's not a smart speed to be lane splitting.

Is any speed?

I wasn't there so I don't know the story, all I know is some crazed dude pulled a gun on everyone and yelled something about not passing him.

I know im technically stil a newb at riding, but i just dont trust drivers, dont think ill even do it at slow speeds...

a buddy of mine was doin the exact same thing around 45 mphin stopped traffic, and some jackass opens his door.
My buddy nailed the door, flies over and hits the next car (broken ribs, arm)
he got really messed up, sued the driver and won.

But still, it scares me a bit to do it...
