So, do you feel lucky? I just don't understand why someone would intentionally add significant risk to an already risky endeavor.
I've logged over 500,000 miles on two wheels and been on my butt bleeding twice. The second time just last June 2018.
(A word about the photo. In May of 2018 I rode form near San Antonio to Ontario California to join "Run For The Wall" on their annual trek to Washington D. C. We then rode across the US in 10 days. And then I returned home. 6600 miles.) I've been riding over 50 years, helped the Army adopt the MSF curriculum in the '80s, and taught the MSF courses in Colorado, Georgia and Korea. Was trained by Honda to teach their Scooter and 3 - 4 wheeler classes. Motorcycling is not my hobby, it has been and always will be my obsession.)

Kindly disagree. A pilot could log the equivalent hours on a jumbo jet and he'd still nail the landing, going sideways from crosswinds. I commend your experience, but not splitting isn't going to prevent someone from nailing you from behind.

I'd rather lane split than sit smack in the middle of a lane with a Honda right up on my tail.
