    lane splitting and cagers honking

    That being said, I personally would not be the harbinger of change and do it while it's illegal, nor would I advise it since it's not expected and not accepted and at one point or another you'll have some crazy road rager who will decide to take matters in their own hands to "teach you a lesson".

    lane splitting and cagers honking

    Motorcycle Parking Fees Recommended without Notice or Public Consultation

    Re: City council voting on getting rid of free parking for motorcycles today if it's passed we can always organize a 'silent protest' by deliberately spacing our motorcycles just like cars for the entire summer. If they want to throw in the equality argument, and I quote: then I sure as...

    Traffic Signs

    white = mandatory sign yellow = suggested sign orange = construction sign aka points/cost doubles when breaking the law of this sign. I think that's how the orange one works. Just thought I would throw that in there so people aren't disobeying construction signs.
