Road rage

Edit to add: and holy crap I seem to attract every douchebag mouth breather on the road. Either it's the morons who park in the left lane going under the speed limit (and stacking up traffic behind them), or it's the road ragers who tailgate me, cut me off, or otherwise feel like they have a bone to pick with me because I ride a bright red motorcycle.

One of these days I'm going to just go track only.

lanesplitting is only illegal if you get caught its a necessary evil in the NYC/LI area
