My morning ride to work isnt complete.....

[big pappa pump]

till I piss off at least 3 people. Some guy today tries to stop me from do something not legal here just yet. So he gets next to with his window up mouthing something, so in turn I use my right hand like a puppet mouthing back to him :D . he then rolls his window down to start mouthing me some more and i still cant hear him. then he honks for a cop that is working a traffic accident to "bust me" i guess, even though i wasn't doing anything illegal when the cop had me in view.

cagers are funny dumbass' i think he was pissed because he can't do what i was doing and he was stuck in the stop and go traffic.

[blackjack]

great story

[deso]

lolz, ur cool.

[JackFlash19]

Man, I wish I was as cool as you are. Can you please teach me? Bc my road to being a dick won't be complete unless I can be like a cager :rolleyes:

[slowimport96]

Lane splitting?

[JP135]

You make reference to something you were doing that wasn't illegal, but you dont identify what the something was. I give your story a "D".

You'll pass but you aint gonna be playing football!

[TINKRD]

lol. i open my door to stop dicks like you. :)

[big pappa pump]

feel free to open your door, cause regardless of someone splitting lanes or not, your action would be Vehicular assault if it causes someone to wreck.

i also could careless about being cool. i just found it funny that cagers get all tweaked cause a bike is getting through traffic and they cant.

when the guy honked to get the cops attention i wasnt doing anything illegal. i was in my lane rolling about 5mph behind a car.

you misunderstood me; I wasn't asking what you did when the "cager" honked. You never said what it was that you initially did to draw the ire of said "cager". You only said "something not legal here just yet".

It's like telling a joke and forgetting the punchline. So then, the first saleman busts out laughing and says... wait... ah hell I forgot how it goes

Actually it would be your illegal splitting that caused the wreck. lolz at you breaking the law and the trying to blame the wreck on someone else.

Could it be that us "cagers" don't like it when people break the law? Be it a bike splitting lanes or a car drive on the shoulder to go around traffic, I will admit it makes me mad sometimes.

Also, splitting lanes just looks dangerous as hell. I know it is legal in California and is actually safer for the biker bla bla bla. Not legal here. Don't do it.

[Nate]

yeah i've been called that before.
Well if enough people start calling you something (retarded) might be time to take a look in the mirror closely to see if they are right.

[stunter bob]

I thought lane splitting was legal in TX now :confused:
It is legal and has been for almost a year now. I wont split lanes in fear that some asshole that doesnt know the law or is mad because im getting ahead of him will swerve into me.
But i will ride the shoulder just a little faster than traffic. And i only do that because the bike gets hot between my legs

[TINKRD]

i guess you better keep a coffee cup in you car.


always do :)

[Cmarsh93z]

I have had people get mad like that when I would ride the shoulder in traffic. I almost had a trucker try to get out and fight me once in mesquite. Traffic makes the blood boil in too many people!

(2) may not move from the lane unless that movement can
be made safely.
(e) The operator of a motorcycle may operate the motorcycle
for a safe distance between lanes of traffic moving in the same

going 1mph over the limit is illegal too... I'm sure you never do that, right?

yeah if you read the link at the bottom theres an update saying it didnt get passed. It would have been effective in September of 05 though, its whatever though, if someone gets pulled over for this and trys to explain that dfwstangs said it was legal... i dont think its gonna work out very well

straight from the dmv website look at the last one (#20)

[HobieF3]

Whether lane splitting is legal or illegal depends on how a judge (or jury if you go that route) interprets the law and the accused rider's actions.
If a cop sees you doing it and decides to pull you over you will likely get a ticket.*

However, if you were in stop and go freeway traffic, not riding erratically, not traveling significantly faster than the flow of traffic, and you hire a lawyer will likely beat it.

For those of you who don't ride and only come in this forum to talk shit, #1 fuck you, #2 studies in california have shown that lane splitting is safer for motorcyclists than sitting in traffic and it helps to relieve congestion.

I have no idea why anyone would care if a motorcycle lane splits especially if its legal.If your stuck in a car and become irate when a mc passes you then you need some serious fucking help.
Also, lots of non riders like to chime in on this forum like Hobie said for the specific purpose of instigating violence towards motorcyclists. I don't really understand it. I don't give two shits about religion or home audio so you won't see me in those forums trying to stir up shit.

I could care less about lane splitting, really. I'd probably do it too.


The only thing that really pisses me off about riders (granted not all are this way, but a lot are), is the blocking of freeways to stunt.


You want to split lanes, have at it. We won't have a problem, unless my shit gets scratched by a clutch lever. :)

I was heading home from work last week on 635 and traffic came to a hault..i sat there for a few minutes then i could feel my legs getting toasty and decided to hit the shoulder for a minute to let the bike cool down a little. I was moving along at about 25 or so and a guy in a jetta swerved over to stop me....instead of just moving on i stopped and made the guy roll his window down and i explained to him why i was on the shoulder and told him that my bikes getting hot and so am i. He was like "o my bad man i thought you were just trying to cut cars for fun" . He kindly moved out of my way and let me pass.

life aint fair. regardless if its legal or illegal you're going to piss people off.

i haven't really opened my door to any bikers but i damn well have thought about it.

human nature to get pissed off when you're stuck in traffic and you see someone else moving along freely. you automatically result back to the 3rd grade mentality when someone would cut in line in front of you.

Yea if you open your door and take out a biker it can be called attempted vehiclular manslaughter because the guy on the bike had no intention on hurting you or your vehicle. And being its legal to split lanes with traffic is heavy (which i verified at lunch by a denton motorcycle cop today) you would be at fault. No reason to hurt someone because they are getting somewhere faster.

I hate riding in heavy traffic because people dont pay attention and end up swerving into my lane.

[slowimport96]

i have plenty of insurance if I ever scratched someones car I would be the first to make it right.. Karma is a bitch! I usually dont lane split. I will get into the shoulder and do a slow speed to keep from burning up.. but not wheelies and throwing rocks everywhere..

I rarely ever do it. If the traffic is dead stop and it's 100*+ (WELL over 100 on the pavement) I'll slowly cruise past people. I don't get on the shoulder because I don't want a flat and I don't want my rear tire tossing debris on cars.

I would like to do it more often, but having jealous people attempt to murder you really gets under my skin and I'm too old to go around breaking the windows and mirrors of everyone that is trying to kill me.

[2000 vert]

My first rule in traffic. If I can't do it in the car I do not do it on the bike. Getting to where I am going a little bit faster is not worth the risk of some jerk taking me out, or someone not expecting me to be there.

[97blkpny]

It is supposed to be "couldn't care less" and also, who are the other 2 people you pissed off on your morning ride?

That's me. It's dangerous enough out there already. :o

[2000 vert]

That's me. It's dangerous enough out there already. :o

well said. I leave for work around 4:15am. I have a straight shot up 35 for 25 miles. Going to work 85mph to 90mph. On the way home with traffic rarely over 65mph and with the flow of traffic. I do not want someone to switch lanes, not see me, because I am hauling ass, and me not be able to get out of the way or slow down fast enough. That being said, i have no problems with riders who do split lanes. Every rider should ride the way they feel comfortable. We put our life at an increased risk every time we ride, so we should decide how high that risk will be. Many riders have died doing nothing wrong.

[46Tbird]

I doubt it is legal. I've never heard about it being legalized here .. until this thread. :confused: :rolleyes: My stepdad teaches the MSF course and he said it was still illegal as of our last conversation where I mentioned some idiot was lane splitting about 40mph past me a couple of weeks ago. But he's not a cop, I'm not going to say he's the authority on the subject.

But that really doesn't matter. You'd have to be an idiot to do it. People give a quick glance and jump across lanes all the time. They won't be expecting you to be running up on top of them. I love how all the bikers say "the bike is running hot" and "I'm only going 5 faster than traffic." Yeah right, give me a break.

Enjoy getting to your destination 10min faster a few times. Eventually some idiot or asshole is going to make you wish you had just sat there with everyone else.

Actually there is...but yeah go ahead and split. It doesn't bother me.

[bcoop]

I really don't understand why people think lane splitting is so bad and dangerous really. I mean, I can understand getting mad while you're stuck at a stand still, and the biker is pacing right along, granted he's doing a safe speed. But that's just natural to get ticked when someone is moving right along and you're stuck. But not mad enough to fling a door open or anything.


Now, I can see where I'd get pissed if some douche comes flying through splitting lanes at 35+. That could be very dangerous for someone with their window down, but it's more dangerous for the rider.



I guess I just don't see it. It doesn't make my blood boil like the idiots that slow traffic on the highway to stunt.

Thank you!

I spent several days around LA about 10 years back, and "lane-splitting" has a whole 'nuther meaning! :eek: Man, those dudes were FLYING between lanes, with traffic stopped all around them. I actually feared for them. The people I stayed with showed me that they have several bike accidents a day, with some of them directly related to "lane-splitting", but none intentional.

[evil jose]

I don't necessarily agree with lane splitting ad speed but leave the law enforcement to someone that actually has the power and not take it into your own hands. I've only split a lane once and that was after being stuck behind quite a few vehicles traveling the same speed and pretty much holding up a big line of traffic.

And just remember, moderators pack to :D

I wasn't quoting you, but if you want to chime in read TINKRD's posts first.

Not at all. Fat Pappy Chump was the first one to make a comment about "bikers carry". All he did was respond.


Respond, really? Are you sure?
lol. i open my door to stop dicks like you. :)


nope. i was opening my door b/c i was pouring out my coffee officer :)


continue to break the law and you'll get busted eventually.

darwin always catches up to douches like you.



damn straight. ;)

if they dont see my door open that's their issue not mine. i mean they're going 5mph so i would hope one would see that....

if he's going fast enough to hit my door and kill themselves....oh well! Darwin :)


life aint fair. regardless if its legal or illegal you're going to piss people off.

i haven't really opened my door to any bikers but i damn well have thought about it.

human nature to get pissed off when you're stuck in traffic and you see someone else moving along freely. you automatically result back to the 3rd grade mentality when someone would cut in line in front of you.

After all that BPP said this;

well i guess everyone on the road read this thread, cause no one tried anything today, BUT there was a cute blonde in an eclispe, gave her a whats up nod........she just rolled her eyes. i almost fell of the bike laughing.

tinkrd you do what you want, but remember texas is a conceal carry state and some bikers do carry(i dont, not yet and dont know if i would) and a 45 round of hydroshock will put a nice hole in the block of your chevy truck or t/a.

Which he immediatley followed with;

And that was not a threat in any way, But i know of guys that carry and ride.

I just get fed up with people that think it's no big deal to try and injure or kill someone else, like it's a fucking joke. It's not a joke, it's someones LIFE.

Like the other thread about the guy that tried to take that rider out. That's not an uncommon occurence. Punk ass kids and weird old white men seem to swerve at me unprovoked about once per year.

Roadrage people swerve at each other in cars without any real consequences. If they hit each other, so what, they get some body damage. You hit a bike and you can end someones life like that. It's been my experience that when a bike and a car get in an accident that the person driving the car won't even stop to help. I know it's happened to people I know as well as myself. More often than not the car drives off and leaves you broken and bleeding in the street.

TINKRD sure is coming across as the guy that's going to swerve, that's going to open his door, and if the rider happens to defend his life with deadly force TINKRD knows he's going to shoot as well. All for nothing.

Yep, I'm still sure. ;) Fat Pappy Chump was the first to bring up the fact that some bikers carry. As if that needed any pointing out, after the incident on the NDT last year. Therefore, all he was doing was responding to the "bikers carry" comment. Yes, he made comments before about swerving yada yada yada. None of which involved a gun. Fat Pappy Chump started the gun thing, and TINKRD just responded to it. Now, Fat Pappy Chump probably never would have said that, had TINKRD not made the comments about opening his door. But that's irrelevant.


I was just saying that if you're going to make a statement like..

Great, you're one of THOSE guys that got a chl to go around provoking people just so maybe you can shoot someone.



Then, you ought to direct it to the person that threw the suggestive 'hint' out there in the first place. Let's be honest, threat, not a threat, what the fuck ever. You know as well as I do what his intention was when posting that. Arguing whether it was a threat or not is arguing semantics. Hence why I called it a suggestive 'hint'. ;)

hes just letting you know that if you swerve at a bike and the guy riding is a crazy sumamamabitch then you might get shot at. ive seen some guys riding rat bikes that really carry chains and bats.......it would be a good idea just to stay in your lane and let them kinda people go on ahead.

When pulled over on the bike a couple weeks ago, the cop asked my why I didnt have my gun on me, He said to start riding with it. I explained it is a springfield 45, his response was it could come in handy. I dont put a lot of faith into the CHL vs no CHL but I have mine just to avoid any extra questions if the time comes when I need it.

*As already mentioned on this board*
I am trying to start going with the thought of if someone cuts you off kindly see if they will roll down their window so you can explain why you are doing what you are doing, More times than not they might be kinda cool then; If not oh well.

[Skidmark]

So at some point I've got to stop riding a certain type of motorcycle because of some sort of age limit?

I'm 27 now, been riding for 9+ years, what's my expiration date? LOL

I know a woman who is in her 50's that rides an R6. Should she stop doing the things she enjoys because she's too old too?

I'm just trying to stir the pot... go away with your common sense! :p

People should do what they want, but when they have a family at home they need to make better decisions. IMO

blah blahba bah blah

I stopped reading when I decided you weren't trying to understand what's being posted. You can't make sense to a brickwall ;)

I'm talking calls at work from every retard capable of dialing a phone. I want to talk some shit! :cool:

I know what you're saying though. I don't want to get married or have kids yet. I've got a lot of irresponsibility left to live out. I want to get into motorcycle road racing and it's just not something I think is all that good for a family, at least not until I have A LOT more money.

In my mind (and a lot of people that ride to), a vehicle, door, something being thrown out a window is every bit a deadly weapon to a motorcyclist than a gun is. You bang sheet metal with another automobile and you walk away. Doesn't necessarily work out the same for those of us on two wheels.

You may throw out your hint but I'll come right out and tell you if someone pulls that shit on me and I can do something about it, it'll be more than a threat.

There was one occasion either last Thanksgiving, or year before that, a group of "stunters" took over all four lanes of 183 just East of 360 and they slowed down below the speed limit. I thought about running over a few of them. Some other people looked like they tried to but didn't get quite close enough. I can tell you that I saw the other side of it and wish I could take the law into my own hands. It's idiots like those stunter's that give the rest of use a bad rap.

Actually, I make perfect sense to anyone with half a brain. I'ts not my fault you're too biased and jaded to open up that head of yours, and look at something with an open mind.


Why the fuck are you beefing with me anyways? I wasn't the one saying I'd open my door and send your ass flying in to oblivion. In fact, I said I don't give a shit about lane splitting as long as it's done safely. If you knew how to read, you'd know that already. ;)


I was just saying that if you're going to make comments about someone bragging, threatening, suggesting, etc in regards to carrying; you make yourself look less intelligent by not doing so to the person that first brought it up.


But as all my previous posts have been dismissed, this one will too since you are obviously jaded on this issue, and are either ignoring it or lack reading comprehension.

[Nestromo]

I don't give a damn if a motorcyclist is doing something horribly dangerous and/or illegal, I give them plenty of room and drive to accomodate them. If they are trying to get around, I get the fuck out of the way. If they are trying to one wheel at 80, I get the fuck out of the way. First and foremost I don't want to see someone get hurt. We have all done dumb things at some point in our lives. Some of us have paid dearly and some have not.

[jluv]

I thought lane splitting was legal in TX now :confused:


SHHHHH!!!! We're supposed to keep speaking in code. Please refer to it as "something illegal here that is legal somewhere else that some say is now legal here but may have not been made legal afterall and is therefore still illegal depending on whom you ask". We don't want the FBI coming after Big Pappadumpolous.

My first rule in traffic. If I can't do it in the car I do not do it on the bike. Getting to where I am going a little bit faster is not worth the risk of some jerk taking me out, or someone not expecting me to be there.

I agree... I've yet to be in that big of a hurry... even riding in the August heat the past few weeks...

if traffic is bad, I'll ride the service road and just cruise... theres a time and place for hauling ass and doing silly shit... rush hour traffic isnt it...

ride safe

I explained it is a springfield 45, his response was it could come in handy. I don't believe that for one second. You're telling me a cop advised you to have a weapon on hand and be prepared to brandish or fire it in public? Buuuullshit.

The cop here in denton that rides a bike said the same thing. He said its bullshit how people treat motorcycle riders nowadays.

[4DRSS]

lol. i open my door to stop dicks like you. :)

Causing serious bodily injury or potentially death to someone for a minor traffic infraction is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. That's fucking stupid. You either have mental issues or maybe you're just fucktarded.
