Well it depends where you live, lane splitting may be legal or not. Here is legal, in fact our motorcycle test to get a license is just like the one in Spain and that the main point of that test is to see if you can lane split and zig zag. Pretty much to see if you can ride in a crowded city..... The main issue with that is that a lot of motorcycle riders never rode a car or more important a real truck, not a big pick up, but a full size truck. Because of this they don't understand that car have blind spots and buses and trucks are pretty much a big blind spot. Since they don't know this, it lends to some nasty accident where a bus, truck or sometimes a car with a lazy driver hit them or rams them. A rule that i use with trucks and bus when riding a motorcycle is "If i can see them to they eyes, then they MAY see me. If i can't see the driver then they can't see me" |

Life is all about the risk. My fiance died last year after 4yrs of us being together. We were supposed to get married this spring at Virginia beach. But we had an argument about what Super Bowl party we were going to attend and I stayed home. At 5am she decided she was gonna deep fry some potatoes and onions, and passed out while they were on the stove. I haven't had a whole lot of reason to live since then and that has contributed to my riding style here lately. Poor excuse I know, but sometimes you just wanna lean headfirst into that pylon at 130mph.

Who knew a brief stint at being a pizza delivery guy would prep you later in life to ride Super Moto X professionally.
Time to switch careers and go pro. Mountain Dew is ready to endorse you!!! |

I learned that the hard way - I was fortunate enough to grow up on a long road that had about 5-6 old dis-used town roads running off it so everyone used to come to my house to ride the old roads some of which snaked up into the mountains pretty far. about 30 miles of roads with maybe 15-20 houses total on the road so it was pretty much our playground. We all had smaller Honda XR's/XL's which thankfully meant low noise and fairly slow speeds - - riding on one of the roads I made the mistake of hitting a washout at the wrong angle I went down hands first. and my buddy behind me did the same but over the handle bars - both of us superman'ed it - skinned hands, rocks in bedded in our palms but we walked away and got right back on (thankfully it was very low speed) Now I don't get on the bike without my gloves. |

When I read these posts and advice from the masters.....it is so interesting that we teach the same words and philosophy in firearms instruction....AND Dan is correct when he speaks of his XBOLT!
Carrying concealed or open carry..... We speak of an accident vs negligent discharge.... Rules of firearm safety!! Awareness...Dennis Tueller drill, we advocate 30 to 35 ft distance, codes of awareness, risk management. Yes be in awareness, but don't put one self in harms way....ie dark alley, etc..... Muscle memory, dry fire. Shoot at the range, practice drills, practice draw.....etc. Eyes and ears when shooting. Hand off a firearm..... unload and show clear. AND so on..... And so on....we can apply any of the drills or teachings to jobs or in our daily work.... Since I have years of snowmobile experience, would I let someone ride my sled with little or no , or intermediate experience? No. They will get hurt, or hurt others. Personally I haven't had big bike experience in years, therefore am retraining on a smaller, easy to handle bike, going at the situation slow. Am I perfect, no way. Have I had a few motorcycle accidents, yes and lived thru them, better than most. Most important in any situation....human life. All of the words of wisdom has many applications in life. We want to stay safe, and not hurt others. The words of the fellows here, as I call them the masters, are so valuable, and well taken.
