He probably could have pulled it off if he didn't have the hard bags.

He probably could've done that too... but would've definitely taken out some mirrors and scraped up some doors in the process.

I would love to be able to lane split to move to the front @ red lights. I prob. wouldn't do it in traffic unless it was at a standstill.

Though, it was only first proposed two years ago. And, they only meet every other year...

We need to get on this.

Let me know.. I'm not well versed in this stuff, but I'd be more than willing to help (as much as I am able before I leave).

OK This is the actual proposed Bill:

Quote:
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT
relating to the operation and movement of motorcycles during
periods of traffic congestion.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 545.060, Transportation Code, is amended
by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsection (e) to read as
follows:
(a) An operator on a roadway divided into two or more
clearly marked lanes for traffic:
(1) shall drive as nearly as practical entirely within
a single lane, except as provided by Subsection (e); and
(2) may not move from the lane unless that movement can
be made safely.
(e) The operator of a motorcycle may operate the motorcycle
for a safe distance between lanes of traffic moving in the same
direction during periods of traffic congestion if:
(1) notwithstanding Section 661.003(c), the operator
and any passenger wear protective headgear that meets the safety
standards adopted by the department; and
(2) the operator operates the motorcycle:
(A) at a speed not more than five miles per hour
greater than the speed of the other traffic;
(B) in traffic that is moving at a speed of 20
miles per hour or less; and
(C) in a location other than a school crossing
zone or a location where the posted speed limit is 20 miles per hour
or less.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2009.
It means:

- must wear a helmet
- must not go more than 5mph faster than traffic around you
- must be at a speed of 20mph or LESS.

I have contacted John Carona [author] to see what we can do to help this get passed. That is, other than writing our our Senator.

My wife works for the state lege. Her only comment? "It won't cost any money so that is a plus."
