I've been riding bikes since '87. I have owned the rolling couches that are Harleys, sportbikes (full fairing & "naked"), and an insanely fast Yamaha V-Max... Any of those bikes could do 100mph or more, and I am not going to say I've never seen triple-digit speeds on each. However, there is a time and place for such craziness.

Out in the middle of nowhere? Found an empty parking lot, or a deserted back road? Find yourself suddenly surrounded by exotic cars on the Autobahn or the Nurburgring? Good times!!!

Rush hour traffic? Residential streets with children playing? On the highway heading into (or out of) any big city in the USA?

I'll never forget being passed on a surface street while going 35-40mph by a bunch of (insert your favorite derogatory term here) on sportbikes doing at least twice as fast as I was going. I started to move right, but they went by me on both sides!!! It could've been bad, and it was reckless.

I know lane-splitting is legal in some areas, but do it in a safe way that does not give ALL motorcyclists a bad rep. Save the stunting for the closed-course or where you are not likely to scare, kill, or piss off anyone.
