I don't think I want to anymore

it's taken me nearly 50 years to get this far, what's another 20 minutes or so of waiting?

only at a stop light, and only if there's plenty of room to fit through.

Don't think it is legal here in Nebr, and I am not in that much of a hurry nor is the traffic that heavy when I ride, on my way to or home from work, weekends who cares!&nbsp\\;

here in LA i usually ride between the white and double yellow line on the freeway if traffic is moving slower than 35 mph. and on the streets, i split to get to the head of the red lights. i never wait in back of the line unless two cars happen to be too close to get through.

my ducati is wider than my sporty so when im riding that i find myself getting stuck behind in line.

other than to get past traffic at stoplights and slow moving interstate traffic, i dont do it.

Move to the hills. No conjestion, 4-lane highways, or even a stoplight in the County were I live.

All I can say is I am glad I'm from the country. If I had to deal with that kind of traffic every day I'd lose my mind. Glad the only thing we have to put up with is tractors that take up both lanes on the rare occasion

Here in Minnesota we are not allowed to split lanes.&nbsp\\; But on a trip to Cali, we got stuck in traffic.&nbsp\\; A bike went flying down between lanes and I thought my father was going to have an attack.&nbsp\\; Personaly, I think it's crazy.&nbsp\\; But I do understand the reason for it.&nbsp\\; I was told that because of the air cooled motors, they made the law to allow it.&nbsp\\; I am suprized that they still allow it to be honest.&nbsp\\; But I kind of wish they would allow it here as well.&nbsp\\; At least riding on the shoulder.&nbsp\\;
