I'd never do it, too dangerous for me I'd rather sit in traffic than risk getting hurt to save some time

I love seeing people coming up the middle of traffic. I usually come over so they can't get by. If I have to sit in the crap they should too.

ps its really not that dangerous if you do it in the shoulder when everybody is stopped... and running from the cops is one of the stupidest things you can do, go from a $100 ticket to a felony is not worth it... i know because i did it once and i was scared ---- less. On my bike not even two months after finishing MSF, i was on an empty highway heading home going a little too fast, about 100mph just enjoying the ride when I see a cop on the side just turn on his lights.... I really wanted to just pull over but my first reaction was to pull the throttle, the bike wheelied on me and i was doing 140+ before the cop could even move... i looked back literarly a few seconds later when I finally relized wtf i was doing and there was nobody behind me. scariest ---- ever.. talking the backroads home watching out for every car and waiting for that knock on the door worried that they got your plates.. ------- scary ----, i willl never do it again

no that i think about it it was reckless of the cop to have a speed trap in the middle of the night, and chasing the bike is kinda stupid too.. i know this is going to sound like a ----- but at the time i was really just reacting... but it was already too late by the time i collected myself, i could have seriously fucked up or hurt somebody

As far as I know, "lane sharing" is legal here in wisconsin. At least I have never seen or heard of anyone getting ticketed for it. Splitting traffic is big ------- no no. I've had cigarettes fly up under my helmet and burn me in the face. Running from the police is bad news too. 18 years old I thought my CBR 900rr was the fastest thing on wheels. Rookie female officer thought she could hang and crashed her car. I got away, so I thought. They didn't need a plate number. Turns out that I was one of 16 registered owners of a sport bike in my county, one of 3 that are black and red. One was broke down and the other guy is from Illinois and only vacations here. Through the process of elimination, FUCKED. Fleeing an officer, battery to an officer, criminal damage to state property, speeding, and a bunch of other ----. I didn't have a drivers licence till I was 24. Thank god though, I think my lawyer was ------- the judge. All reduced to failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Had to pay something like 16,000 in restitution and a million and a half hours of community service. Not really that many but it felt like it. Dont ---- around. Just pull over.

if you can't obey the laws of the road on your bike, you deserve what's going to happen to you. sharing a lane is no big deal, did it all the time while riding. driving in between so you don't have to wait for traffic, ------- stupid.

This is one reason why i hate most folks on bikes. they have a complete disregard for anything else on the road. its a ------- 3500 pound ------- weapon you are skating around and zipping between. but we need to watch out for you, and when we splatter one of you all over the road when you are skating between cars cause you think you are entiltled to cause you are on a bike we will hear all about this memorials and Public service annoucements to be more aware of bikers. ---- that. Natural selcetion at its finest. if you are stupid enough to roll down 64 in a B-ball jersey doing a wheelie then you deserve to get splattered all over the pavement. same goes for zipping in between cars on the interstate.

Wait in traffic like everyone else of im opening my door when i see you roll though. Ill win. my car is bigger.
and park you ------ bik in a parking lot. just cause its smaller does not mean you can stick it on a sidewalk. Its funny to see the look on someones face as you walk and climbn all over their bike cause its on the sidewalk.

I cant have respect for those who dont repsect me or themselfs. Bikes are ------- dangerous and need to be treated with respect.

I do it if traffic is going extremely slow or at a stand still, if traffic is going 40+ its just kinda scary. And atleastt if they hit you while traffic is going 10-20mph a person might have enough time to not run you over, whereas at 40 your *** is getting ran over.

---- that. If they couldn't prove it was you then I don't see how they could have got you. Did you actually confess?

Yeah that don't mean ----. they need to prove it was you but sometimes that easier said than done. my boy got off with like 3 allegations of it cause they KNEW it was him but they only got partial plates each time. wasn't long for the eventually got him for something else though.
