There's lanesplitting when overtaking parked traffic at some lights at 5mph, and then there's lanesplitting when you're doing 50 mph between 2 cars that are also doing 40mph+. One stops the bike overheating and the other gives me a nice new set of lungs if I ever need them.

^^ Karma is a bitch! ^^Lots of triangles posted:I agree with the Ride Apart guys; it's one less vehicle sitting in traffic. Lane splitting can certainly be done recklessly but if the relative speed difference is < 10~15mph it seems pretty fine. I'm glad it's legal in CA. I live in CA and sit in bumper to bumper traffic every Thursday night. I know, I know, not as bad as if I lived in LA. I have to say lane splitting is a mess. I have yet to meet a biker who goes that slow while splitting. It's really bad if you are on a slight curve and can't see more than one or two cars back. You just get a flash of light then he's there and gone. One day I'm going to accidentally take out one of these motherfuckers and I'm not going to feel sorry about it. Well, I'm sure I'll feel sorry when my insurance goes up. Aurune fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Feb 6, 2013 |

Yeah I see nothing wrong with lane splitting at lights but people who do it on the highway at 80 mph are loving idiots who deserve whatever they get. At least 1/4 of the accidents in that motorcycle crash video were caused by people lane splitting at inappropriate speeds and being unable to stop when a car pulls a normal turn.

We were going to slow for him and we were already all going 10 over in a 30MPH road. I thought for sure it was going to be a head on.

The current deal is you and 24 of your pals need to plunk down 50k (total) for their COTA private track day experience. The couple of clubs that had negotiated a better deal got letters a month or so ago saying "Sorry no". A couple had paid in full and managed to keep their reservation probably due to lawyer reasons. I guess you could go to your local politician and argue your tax dollars helped build it and you have the right to reasonable / affordable access. However, I imagine that'll be as effective as screaming at a wall. For comparison: A track rental at Laguna Seca will run you a bit north of $20k for the day. Then you just split it up among however many people you like. I think the max on track limit is 20. However, that's for on the track at once, not all day. VV I guess he got sick of people mocking his driving. Not that I haven't missed a corner or slid my car before. Everyone makes mistakes. I just don't do with my arm hanging out the loving window or grasping the A pillar. VV Aurune fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Feb 8, 2013 |

The couple of clubs that had negotiated a better deal got letters a month or so ago saying "Sorry no". A couple had paid in full and managed to keep their reservation probably due to lawyer reasons. I bashed them big time when they cancelled all those days. The problem is that there's [i]just[/] enough demand from the people with lots of cash at that 'rape you in the rear end' price that they have no reason to change. They can say 'hey, it's open to anyone that wants to pay the going rate'. I can't justify ever paying $2K+ plus consumables for a track day. I know very few people that can. It's cheaper to drive faster than safe on public streets(I never would. Street racing is stupid.) and pay the tickets.

I'm thinking Porsche's stability control gets a lot of credit there since he managed not to loop it. And I suppose if you take your hands off the wheel you can't over correct.

10.2 litre radial engine in a Goggomobil? Yes please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST3tEqCeFDI I know there's a video of the construction of the thing, including the construction of the custom transfer box and the single speed (forward, reverse, neutral) that was made for it by the builder. Sadly though I can't find that.
