Gonna have to disagree. I never ride my bike in the rain, screw that. Why do you like riding in the rain?

because when all the idoits crash because they dont know how to drive in he rain, and traffic is backed up for miles, i can go right down the middle. bay area traffic sucks as it is, but add a little water and it gets exponentially worse

Bahahah. That makes sense. We don't have that kind of traffic here so that's a non-issue for me. Although when it's tourist season here I take the bike as often as possible because our little small town roads can't deal with the traffic growing by a factor of like 4000% and being able to weave through cars is so much better.

yes, splitting lanes is a must, here. my normal commute takes 50 minutes by bike. the same commute by car/truck is 1 hour 15 minutes. on a good day. add rain, and it can take up to 2 hours or more.

Man I never had the balls to do any lane splitting on my bike. Then again that may be because Oklahoma drivers are so terrible that it was pretty much a death sentence to try it.

i would never lane split if i ever get a bike. such idiots in the city,

**aarons419** · 12-07-2012, 12:07 AM

That's my thoughts exactly. All it would take is one idiot. I get the utility of it, but I'm just not ballsy enough to do it. Then again, I really don't care for riding on the road anyhow. At least not the freeways.

**nosbusa** · 12-07-2012, 01:20 AM

freeways are the best..... especially empty ones......
also cant forget the gas mileage that you get with a bike...... unless you drive a prius......

My Ninja gets 48 mpgs compared to my trucks 13. Love it.

Also can't forget that girls love a guy with a bike. Hahahh

**aarons419** · 12-07-2012, 06:47 AM

Chicks do dig the bikes, that's definitely true. That's one of the things the wife said she liked about me when we met.

**nosbusa** · 12-07-2012, 11:56 AM

yeah, they like the bikes, but liking the rider........ um not in my case.....

**aarons419** · 12-08-2012, 12:45 AM

I managed to trick one into liking the rider....I guess that's all I needed.

**nosbusa** · 12-08-2012, 05:52 AM

until she got to your place and the helmet came off.

**aarons419** · 12-08-2012, 08:17 AM

I prefer to keep the helmet on on first dates, and am sure to talk like batman, if they come back after that, you know they're a keeper.
