Lane Splitting gone bad - Page 3

I've never seen the full vid. He smacked the hell out of that van with the broken forks.

He didn't seem too unreasonable fast to me. Camera quality kind of sucks and was choppy so it may have appeared to be faster. If anyting if he had been gloing slower he might have nailed the very back of the van.

I'd lane split in Atlanta but here in Atlanta they don't give a fuck if you have red or blue flashing lights. All they care about is wether moving over for a firetruck, ambulance or cop will benefit them. If not it's up to the paramedics/firefighters to figure something out. I've seen cars get on the asses of ambulances for going too slow.

He was on a Katana. Probably held together with crazy glue.

Again probably faster than he should have been going (Probably 25-30mph with traffic flowing between 0-10mph) but I don't think it's that bad.
