Texas tried to pass a law a couple years ago to make it legal there, but it didn't pass.

bzzzt. It's not legal. It's just not illegal. I've done a lot of research on lane splitting in trying to get it legal up here in WA. I've even testified in order to try to get our bill passed. the situation in which you won't be pulled over for lane sharing in CA are completely up to the officer witnessing you. If they've got a bee in their collar, they'll pull you over and tell you that you were going to fast or whatever. But there are no laws on the books regarding lane splitting.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.... thanks for the clarification.

Dagnabbit, I'm all for not having an excess of laws on the books, but when so much is left up to the discretion of the cop, as you said, if he's got a bee in his collar...

North Carolina state motorcycle laws...humm...didn't know this.

Muffler:

“Muffler or other exhaust system of the type installed at the time of manufacture, in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise; muffler cut-out prohibited. (NC General Statutes, Section 20-128)”

Arkansas is backwards regardless. Just don't get caught.
