Would you even call that an accident? Looks like the bike just broke down on the side of the freeway. Highway patrol was just blocking the lane to prevent an accidentk, so, I guess it still counts.
@@H4I2I2EE Most states that have statutes criminalizing low-speed lane-sharing specifically name "motorcycles", and motorcycles only. In many states, low-CC mopeds are not registered as motorcycles and are subject to their own set of laws (usually, don't ride on bike paths, don't ride on the sidewalk, must have working lights, must have a plate). This means that low-CC mopeds/scooters default back to the state's "overtaking" law, which usually stipulates you can overtake traffic on the right if done safely in certain circumstances. In my state, for example, you can overtake on the right as long as it's done "safely" and there's enough room on the right for you to do so without going off the road. Practically, the fact that lane-filtering isn't illegal on scooters doesn't change the fact that enforcement is very low outside of some deep south states. In my state, you can probably lane-filter in front of police as long as you're doing it when traffic is stopped and you're going very slowly
Good 10 Speed CHUY...I hope filtering is getting less scary for ya...but it's always good to keep a healthy concern...I ride a 2014 1200RT and splittin' is real tight...See ya out there.
L Ros The time savings are significant - a rough calculation is 1/2 to 1/3 the commute time of a car, depending on where you’re commuting from (in the past five years, I’ve saved roughly an entire month of my life by commuting on my motorcycle instead of BART or by car). Cost savings: $2.50 versus $6 per day at the bridge toll, which adds up, and parking depends on where you are in the city - I’ve found free motorcycle parking the past 5 years, but paid spots are sometimes less than $1/hour. Cars are slower and more expensive, but unquestionably safer and more comfortable during the cold and rainy season. You just have to weigh the trade-offs of your personal route, and find what works best for you. Don’t forget to factor in maintenance and gas mileage of your vehicle. Last thing I’ll say: psychologically, it’s a huge boost for me to start my day with a moto ride instead of crawling in traffic or getting packed like a sardine into a BART car. The freedom, the speed, and the independence put me in a great mood at the start of each day. Something to consider.
You're squeezing through some tight spaces, man; what kinda bike is that. I feel like sometimes I cant squeeze through the tight spots without my mirrors hitting others cars mirrors
Yes, lanesplitting is legal in California. However, not all of it perfectly conformed perfectly to CHP’s recommend guidelines for lanesplitting, but I’ll be sure to do better next time :)
Blame it on the rent prices. It's pushing people further and further out. Everybody and their mother within an 80 mile radius is commuting to SF to work. 3-4 hour daily round trip commutes are becoming pretty common in the Bay.
They want us to respect them because they’re on a motorcycle? How can we when they can’t respect themselves? You get what you deserve! Respect the road and respect others! RIP.
@@e.l.9589 I was just reading up on The Doppler Effect. It is the change in frequency in a wave ... for an observer moving relative to its source. It is commonly heard when a vehicle sounding a siren (I drove Ambulances for 34 years) approaches, passes and recedes from an observer. In other words, the deep, throaty roar of loud pipes isn't really very deep or throaty until it has passed. Only an idiot would drive a DONARCYCLE between vehicles. I have attended to numerous DONARCYCLES collisions, anything from minor road rash to dead. I have often heard the vehicle driver say I didn't see him, I didn't hear him.
Many years ago, I saw a Young Motorcycle Driver run into a Women's Car Door, Unexpectedly. He straight up into the air about 20 feet, came down, snapped Hus neck and Died.Stop doing this Stupid Shit.
I agree. It seems that, while apparently this lunacy is allowed in California, the motorcyclist still needs to understand that it is done at his/her own risk. It's just like making a right turn on red. It's legal but if you do it in front of someone and crash, it's YOUR fault. By the same token, it's legal for bikers to split lanes but if there is a crash, the bikers have no one to blame but themselves. Also, I don't see where the other vehicles should have any obligation whatsoever to make lane splitting easier. They are not obligated to remain in the exact middle of their lanes. And they are legally allowed to switch lanes when there are openings. Blasting between lanes at high speeds is simply inviting trouble when another vehicle chooses to change lanes at the same time a fast motorcycle decides to zoom into that opening at some insane speed. Who could say who is at fault - the motorcyclist or the driver of the other vehicle? But the biker would be just as dead.
I find it hard to believe that what you're doing in this video is what the California lawmakers had in mind when they made lane splitting legal. I'm glad this is still illegal in my state even though I had ridden motorcycles my entire life.
Would we be better served sitting in a passenger vehicle, contributing to traffic? Which part of the video do you find dangerous? Are you aware the “fast” parts of the video are sped up, and not real-time?
@@Losttouchjs people out here actually keep an eye out for rider since it’s legal and they are used to us lane splitting, most of them are Courteous and make room for us to lane split.

Holy smoke thats a 5 hour commute on a car
Lol!
Pro tip : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Briar James yea, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)
Kind of ironic a bike accident was holding up much of that traffic...
Would you even call that an accident? Looks like the bike just broke down on the side of the freeway. Highway patrol was just blocking the lane to prevent an accidentk, so, I guess it still counts.
I feel like traffic on the bay bridge is held up almost daily by a motorcycle accident. Probably more like a few times a week but it's all too common.
This is stressful as fuck even for a motorcycle
I can't imagine how much time you have saved by lane-splitting!!
Low speed we call it filtering in the UK. Lanesplitting is when your high speed undertaking which is obviously dangerous.
This should be legal in all 50 states! :)
Yep it's the best thing about riding scooter/motorcycle. You don't have to wait in traffic like everyone else.

You need to replace those annoying mirrors 😂
Hah, yeah - the entire bike has been replaced :)
This gave me anxiety man . I just started riding and lane splitting is still a bit scary .
Yeah it definitely feels scary when the video is sped up. In practice, over time it is a different feeling.
You will get used to it , just practice on fast breaking with both breaks .

Wow, you are braver than I, those are some tight spaces you are cutting through there.
he did clip his mirror on that truck...

How much money do you think you save ? And how is parking ? Might be getting a job down town sf and need to find an efficient way of commuting

So much traffic! What time was this
I know! It was around 8 - 8:30am
gilroy to salinas at 5 pm is the same everyday traffic jam
Is this channel still going on?
All this traffic gives me a bloody headache. I would be lane splitting too.
I remember when bridges were free for motorcycles... Good times.
You know what, a motorcycle is the very best thing when it comes to like this fvcking heavy traffic especially nowadays, sh1tty holidays.
That's your commute everyday?
ConditionRed - Same route, yes, but traffic is rarely THAT bad. This was an exception since there was an accident on the bridge
Errrry daaaay
Was all that legal?

Cool I know how frustrating that is I used to do that w an ambulance imagine trying to follow all the rules going code 3 in all that traffic
This is very satisfying to watch.
This is why I call them Donarcycles.
How can you bay area people live this way. It's horrible

Chris F 100%, i grew up here(still live here) didn’t used to be this bad
@@GoldenGod69 yes the more jobs the more people.
i knew a friend in high school he moved from san jose all the way to Hollster county and commutes 80 miles a day to save money

I had no idea GOD likes traffic splitting
What Two God's now IAM confused
There can't be more is there ?

Loud pipes and high beam aid in that situation, every little bit helps. Safe travels 👍
You hear the loud pipes from behind only.
