watched cruiser get pulled over today.....

[pulse]

well on my way to work, which happens to be at 3:30 in the afternoon, there is always a ton of traffic and i have to lanesplit alot. well i very regularly see large cruisers that are too big to lane split just go blazing down the shoulder like it aint no thang. i was always under the impression that you couldnt do that and it always bugged me. just cause you bought a fat ass pig of a bike doesnt give you the right to blaze down the shoulder. well today on wy way down the nobel to 805 south on ramp i noticed a bike cop just sitting at teh bottom at the carpool lane waiting to nail people that were violating the carpool law. so i sneak into the cars cause i cant find it in me to lane split up to a cop and wait for the light. well guess who come blazing down the shoulder, a big fat cruiser and guess who is standing at the bottom of the ramp on the shoulder....a CHP. so he got ticketed and i was happy cause i see that all the time and it bugs me that they do that. ok that was really long....you may now return back to your regularly schedualed life:cool:

i know the fatty bikes aren't cool but i thought this one was. it looked comfy for the passager to be riding on.

There was a guy at my old job who had one of those, think he was at least 60, they look really comfy.

I know you can not drive on the shoulder, I got one :(. I was trying to bypass a couple cars on the Clairemont Mesa Blvd exit off of the 15 South, making a right. There were 3 police cars waiting for anyone driving on the shoulder. They already had 3 cars there waiting for their write-ups and then got me.

ummmm yeah I almost always did that getting on Five South off of Genessee.... so I am guessing you can't lane share on exit and off ramps?... these things are just a cluster of people... and that huge shoulder is so tempting for the whole 100 ft I need to use it

you can lane split anywhere. I do it on exit/entry ramps, stop signs, red lights, down the freeway, city streets, carpool lane, and I have done nearly all of them in front of a cop at one time or another. I'm glad that guy got busted, I hate more than anything how people do that. I see it all the time, but never see a cop, but god knows that as soon as i do anything the cops come out of no where...

just for clarification...lane splitting is never legal... you can lane share. (you cannot ride on the line, it's called excessive lane change) :cool:
