DirtyDave, Sounds like your by yourself on this one. But then again your probably used to being by yourself.

RE: Stop light sharing.
If I'm stopped at a light and someone pulls up next to me, no problem
What gets my attention is the guy who passess me at speed within the same lane without my knowledge. Now if I'm at a rally I'm watching for this and will wave the guy by me. But when I'm just tooling around town and someone comes screaming up next to me and passes me unawares, well let's just say it can be a startling experience.

I don't care one bit if somebody comes up alongside of me at a red light, and I myself do it all the time. Gives you time to say "Hey, great day for a ride", etc. Once the light turns green, I separate however....I won't ride parade style next to somebody I don't know, nor do I want somebody to do that to me.
But....to say hello? No problem. If you have issues with somebody pulling up next to you to say hello, I guess you're what they call "anti social"

Don't you hate it when someone you don't know comes up next to you at a stop light (same lane) and stops! [:@]I ask them, in a unfriendly tone,"do you know me?" When they say "no", I tell them to get the F@#K out of MY space! I always stop in the center of the lane to try to discourge it from happening, but some people are just ignoant.[sm=icon_beat.gif]

I cant help but think if he was to the right he would be alive. I stay to the right when Im at a light and I watch the rear now. That video is the reason. Its a little haunting.
I also get to run lights now that that law has passed I did it twice today and I did it last week while a patrol car saw. I kinda expected to be pulled.

Ouch! I don't think it would matter if that guy was center, left, or right. The driver wasn't paying attention nor was the rider. Staying in the center of the lane makes you most visible to traffic. You also have more options for an "out" . If your are in the left part of the lane, your only option is to go left and hope there isn't any on coming/turning traffic. The other part of stopping left or right is sometimes cages (to include trucks) will pull up right next to you. Happened to a buddy. When he yelled at the driver; "What the hell are you doing?" She said "There was enough room."
If you want to meet other riders then joint MMA or ABATE. They have local chapters and get togethers. Not to mention it to support yourrights as a motorcyclest.
And currently lane splitting is against the law in AZ. But that is a good question, what do you do when you get up front and there isn't any bike, just a car half way into the intersection????

I wont stop in the center lane of an intersection since i saw this. scroll down about halfway.
I dont pull up beside a stranger at a light, I would consider it rude.
