It is only legal between the two last left lanes and you are only allowed to go 5mph faster than traffic. It was specifically designed for air-cooled bikes so they don't overheat in traffic...but the water-cooled boys seem to love it. Look it up on youtube, there are a bunch of videos of them doing that and having a car make a lane change...hitting them and causing more traffic. I think, when doing 5mph over, it's ok...but these dudes are hauling a$$. I like watching the guys with 20in apes do it...now that's funny.
I might have taken this the wrong way, but if you do that and think it's funny to take out people's mirrors and dent their cars...you loose my respect.

Quick sidebar...
Lane splitting in CA, particularly Los Angeles county, is neither legal NOR illegal.
It falls into a gray area reserved to the judgment of the officer.
There are two laws that dictate this judgment:
1) Vehicles (not just bikes) are allowed to share the same lane space as long as they don't impede each others' travel.
2) Vehicles are not allowed to make unsafe lane changes (speed, traffic density, lack of signaling, etc, all fall into this).
Most cops turn a blind eye to what a lot of bikers do, VERY dangerously, I might add. But not all will. I've seen a few buddies tagged for "lane sharking" (aggressively riding through dense traffic at high speeds and without signaling) and also for crossing the double yellow of an HOV lane. I've split by cops (car and bike) at safe and prudent speeds for conditions and have never had an issue.
I HAVE been wrongly accused of hitting cagers' cars in the past, however. My guess is that they are venting on me for prior misconduct from other riders. I know a lot of my friends like the knock mirrors off and kick cars. The only time I've kicked a car is when a texting girl hit me in traffic while making a blind lane change into me at speed. I honked, flashed, she kept coming, so I had to kick the car to get her attention. She apologized til she was blue in the face. Pretty gnarly.

According to California CHP web site www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html, lane sharing is permissible but must be done in a safe and prudent manner. There is no law/vc stating a speed limit for lane sharing for motorcycles. Unsafe speed is what the officer thinks is unsafe at the time and for the conditions.
