As far as Billy Bob in his truck goes, there are asshole cage drivers everywhere that don't need an excuse like lane-splitting to try to run you off the road. But, given the choice of having my bike overheat or lane-split, I'll take my chances lane-splitting  |
Oh don't get me wrong. It's not an *I'm chicken* thing. It's a *The Busa is too damn wide with the bags to fit down the middle* thing.
With the bags on, my Busa has roughly the same rear cross section as a small car. I'd take out alot of mirrors if I tried to lanesplit.
