Lane splitting…

It’s legal here in So Cal, and although it looks dangerous, when you’re on the bike it actually isn’t.    After my ride with my buddy Jim the other day, I took the KLR to Cal Poly for a late afternoon class.   I used to commute on a bike regularly (I don’t do that anymore; I mostly ride the bike for fun these days).   Anyway, I still had the video cam on my helmet, so here’s a video of my ride home…

I’ll admit, watching the video makes it look dangerous, but it really isn’t if you don’t get stupid. The time savings are real…when I was younger and I had a 40-mile commute, I used a motorcycle regularly. You can take a motorcycle in the car pool lane here in California, and even if there is no car pool lane, when traffic builds up you can split lanes. In my case, it turned an hour-long commute into a 30-minute ride.

Well, enough playing on the Internet…I’m on my way to the CSC plant in a bit.  Later, my friends…
