Second commute to work - 562loosenoodle_imp - 11-27-2018
So I got to take my CB1100 to work the past two days (thank you Southern California weather)
Here is a video of that ride.

The weather looks fantastic for riding.
Bit of a tough call, but I think this belongs in the CB1100 Videos Forum.

Enjoyed the vicarious ride into the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.
Splitting traffic is a good reason to not have bar end mirrors!

I am jealous. Your highways look sooo empty. Jeez. (... and you have nice riding weather) (... and you get to lane split)

Splitting lanes = dangerous

I reckon it would be definitely in the GTA.
It would take years for [gaw damn stupid] GTA motorists to get used to the fact which = probably 100's of motorcyclist fatalities.

I cringe when I see it.

While splitting lanes does have it’s risks, like anything, I try my best to mitigate the risk. I ride within my ability. When cars are stopped on both sides of me I slow down. There are other things you can do to survive Los Angeles traffic.
Many cage commuters try and give you room to filter. On the weekends I hate splitting lanes. The drivers tend to forget bikes filter.

I spent 53 years of my almost 72 in SoCal.
Lane splitting ("lane sharing") is legal and most motorists will move over a bit for motorcycles to travel between number one and number two lanes.
Many a time I followed a motor officer (CHP, sheriff or LAPD) between #1 and #2 lanes.
Not likely to get rear ended while lane splitting.
My 1976 CB750F had the stock mirrors inverted under the handlebars to easier clear truck and van mirrors.
