    Good stuff Brother! As riders, we can't always assume we're in the right and the vehicle driver is at fault. That attitude and how that guy handled the situation is part of what gives bikers a bad reputation. Keep preaching!!! #GOARMYBEATNAVY

    I live in CA Bay Area, and yes, I lane-filter, but ONLY at reasonable speeds, and I always try to have an escape plan. When a car moves over to make room, throw a peace sign or nod a thank you. 👍👍

      Yeah Jon, It seems easier up here than in the LA area. Drivers seem to move over more, creating a lane just for us. (When a car moves over to make room, throw a peace sign or nod a thank you). Always

    Lane splitting scares me. Never tried it. When I lived in CA, bikes would scare me because you don't see them coming and you might not hear them.

    • @BootsandJeansRiders
      @BootsandJeansRiders  21 день тому +1

      I've been doing it for a long time now and it doesn't bother me. But I refuse to split in other states because drivers aren't used to seeing bikes coming down the middle.

    Slow traffic only, high beams on, sometimes radio loud. I find that most people will make room for you in the Bay Area. Always have my eyes watching for the distracted drivers

    I don't believe I'll lane split in Alabama if it was legal. That's a tricky game to play. 4 wheel cage motorists DO NOT pay attention. And like you said, there's nothing that urgent where I have to lane split on a daily. Bad accident, construction delay, stand still traffic. Yes, I'll filter through. Stay safe!👍🏿

    I split, but my personal speed limit is about 30 mph, in the carpool lane or the #1 lane. If traffic is moving faster than that I’m usually staying with traffic.

    I've been rideing my whole life in southern California, I lane split a lot. big bikes make it so mutch harder, props on figuring it out on a wing I've had a concorse 14 and its verry different then doing it on a normal bike. at least where i ride harleys are rarely splitting, not only are they hevy but they also have that compromised riding position and ape hangers make it impossible to be precise, most of the time when they are out on weekends i see them cheating down the shoulders.

    • @BootsandJeansRiders
      @BootsandJeansRiders  21 день тому +1

      We are used to splitting on our wings...If we see a smaller bike behind us, we would let it pass. They can move more easily through traffic than us. We never ride the shoulder, too much debris.

    Aww man you know I'm splitting lanes every day all day... but with reason. I split when traffic is at a standstill. If haters don't move over I wait, a clearing always develops.
    Just read the rules for your state and split/lane share responsible.
    As for you being a witness... not in this case 😂😂😂

      What up Tony! You know we are good with it here in Cali, I am fearful of splitting in other states. Yeah, I had to let him know, he didn't want me as a witness. He would lose that case.

    I have yet to split lanes. Maybe if traffic was stopped or really slow would I risk it. If traffic is moving why risk it?

      Could you check your YT settings and change it to 4k? I've watched it on several devices and it looks fine. The splitting was an older camera and the accident was with my smartphone. All set to 4k.

    I don't want it in Ontario, Canada. Please keep it there. It will all come down to assessing fault. I can see moving around a stopped vehicle going straight through so I may turn right. All lane splitting does is make enemies. No thanks.

    • @BootsandJeansRiders
      @BootsandJeansRiders  15 днів тому +2

      It's an everyday thing here in Cali, but it has its dangers and faults. I would never do it anywhere else. Drivers get jealous that we can get through traffic while they are stuck. (All lane splitting does is make enemies) That point is well taken. Thanks for watching and commenting.
