Please provide the deed to "your" property. I never knew you can buy your own personal lane

I've lane split passed lot's of guys like you...You don't own the lane and you can't prevent me from doing it.
Y'all, all get the same sourpuss look on your faces when it happens though, That makes it entertaining for me.

yes it is assault with intent to cause bodily harm. or assault with deadly weapon (motor vehicle is considered deadly weapon)
felony and maybe jail time.
try explaining to the DA why you opened your door in traffic. I don't think I didn't see the motorcycle coming wont cut it.

In 2002, road construction on I90 east of Sturgis backed up traffic for miles at the end of ralleye week. Hundreds, if not thousands of bikers, rode on the right shoulder of the interstate, passing hundreds of cars, rather than get caught in that traffic jam. The cops just watched us go by. Maybe because there were too many to stop (?)

absolutely not, wait your turn in line like everyone else. you have done nothing to deserve special privileges. now if the state wanted to charge $1,000 a year to split lanes, and you went thru a special class and had a decal on your bike to show that you were paying for the privilege...that should be fine with the majority of the motoring public. then it would be more like a toll road--where you pay to drive on less crowded roadways and get to your destination quicker.
I think everyone should be able to lane split. Aside from that, I have no problem with those that believe nobody should(they have the same right to their opinion as I). But to state something like "no, they should wait in line like everyone else" followed by "unless they pay for the privilege." is so filled with hypocrisy.
What is your reason for not letting them lane split? What makes that change when money is brought into the equation, especially when the money doesn't go in your pocket or the cagers pocket, therefore not benefiting you or the cagers? How does money being paid but not going into a cagers pocket, change that right of a cager to not have someone cut in front of them?
How about charging people for air to breathe. How about charging people in cages for the right to not be lane split upon. Yeah, we can charge bikers for a sticker that lets them lane split and also charge cagers for a sticker that shows bikers can't lane split them.
I just don't understand the mentality of your post.

You haven't sent in your rent check to me. Until you do, you're going to have to share.
