Ok, these guys that are swerving in and out from lane to lane are the 1-2% that give the rest of us a bad name. Not to worry though one day they will be the subject of someones horror story, or a red stain in the road.
I ride fast, but not crazy. I lane split (no law against it in Cal), but I do it with common sense. Ive been riding for 40+ years, and best I can say about the crazies is there is a level of performance in most sport bikes that most can just not comprehend. When you get a 20 something on one of these bikes, they just feel they are on another level above any car.
But I agree with Wayne, these are a small % of the total population of bikes out there.
Also to look at from the other side, there WAY more bone heads out there driving 6000lbs steel coffins weaving in and out of traffic, while talking on the phone, drinking their coffee, radio blasting, ect.
But I don't think all car/truck guys are crazy nut cases, just 1-2%..
