Well, if they can't ticket for it anymore it won't make any money either.

You know how they love those fines.

As far as Billy Bob in his truck goes, there are asshole cage drivers everywhere that don't need an excuse like lane-splitting to try to run you off the road. But, given the choice of having my bike overheat or lane-split, I'll take my chances lane-splitting

Oh don't get me wrong. It's not an *I'm chicken* thing. It's a *The Busa is too damn wide with the bags to fit down the middle* thing.

With the bags on, my Busa has roughly the same rear cross section as a small car. I'd take out alot of mirrors if I tried to lanesplit.

LOL, not calling you a chicken, but didn't realize you had a Busa Butt

Besides, you can just honk your horn while you're lane-splitting and cars should move to open up more space for you, right?

kind of nice... but then again, maybe not. in heavy traffic cagers lane change frequently and don't take in enough of what's behind/beside them before moving into another lane. i mostly blame cell phones.
