    Love when people tighten up when they generally see you coming(not always and give them the benefit of the doubt for a few seconds). Splitting with those wide handlebars has to be a nightmare, the sportbike's narrow handles bars work like a cat's whiskers.

    It was amazing to me when I realized just how much better a sportbike is for lane splitting than regular handlebars. My XSR was much more limited with the space it took up.

    In CA, some keep mirrors as souvenirs. Makes it easier for the next motorcyclist to get by.

    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Although the 1100 is narrower than some other cruisers, I also find it can be challenging to split.

    Went for a little evening ride when I saw all the neighbors leave too. Definitely worth it

    I was in DC where it isn’t illegal. VA and MD it’s illegal and spelled out in their laws. DC, not so much. That’s the 295 southbound towards the 495 interchange.

    How are you liking the upgrade to the ADV bike? Seems like you’re all in.

    Not in a literal sense. We’ve crossed paths before and he’s made it clear he is a self appointed, self righteous traffic enforcer.

    Gotcha. When you choose to, you do.

    Essentially, I occasionally cross paths with an individual on the road who takes exception to how I ride and has taken upon themselves to be a sort of self appointed traffic regulator. The video, I’m splitting traffic and come across this person.

    They were far left in their lane but creeped inwards to close the gap as I was approaching. They tried to squeeze me into the car in the other lane.

    such a nice person they are... i love people who think they are law and try and control traffic with either speed or not allowing to pass...

    ive had it a couple times on my bike with someone trying to be in control

    On approach, note their lane position.

    Well, if you’re gonna be a dick…May not suit you well if you’re running personalized plates.
