Looks like you had fun Jeff.

But I dont split lanes at speed. I only did it in LA during rush hour when cars were not moving and was quezzy at that .

Ride safe Brother

I only split lanes on the FWY between the #1-2 lanes at 5 MPH more than the speed of traffic. Too much lane changing being done in the other ones. Coming home yesterday I had to stay at 90 or above to keep from being run over. Even the big rigs were at 70.

Thanks for the advice. Im adult enough to know its well intentioned. I thought to myself last night "i dont want to ride like that ever again." So Im done with the craziness. Its just the first time this season that the weather broke so I was excited.
