I do not condone this behaviour in any shape, way, or form; but GODDAMN! Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: Veloce-Fino on October 02, 2010, 07:40:15 PM I can do that.... at least once anyway. ;D
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: El Matador on October 02, 2010, 07:42:22 PM I can do that.... at least once anyway. ;D He-man, Yahuen and me with Desmolu on the back did some pretty insane lanesplitting though Virginia once. It was pretty make the beast with two backsing nerve wrecking Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: Bones on October 02, 2010, 07:43:52 PM that's not lane-splitting, that's just pure douche-baggery.
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: The Bearded Duc on October 02, 2010, 08:07:49 PM I think that video almost gave me seizures.
That traffic was gnarly, good thing no one decided to switch lanes while that rider was doing 60 between them. Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit?

Post by: kopfjäger on October 02, 2010, 08:37:14 PM Somewhere there is a long video of some dudes in Europe (used to work for a moto mag show) that did some wild shit. I believe one of them still races professionally. I can't find it though.

Post by: kopfjäger on October 02, 2010, 09:02:58 PM Are you thinking of " Ghost Rider ? " Dolph (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn198/DoubleEagle_photo/ride.gif) No not Ghost Rider. This was a group of guys that worked for a now defunk Moto mag, where they did ride reports. One of the guys name was "Shakey." Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 10:00:56 PM No not Ghost Rider. This was a group of guys that worked for a now defunk Moto mag, where they did ride reports. One of the guys name was "Shakey." You're thinking of this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1058880512099685914# (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1058880512099685914#) The 'Fastbikes' VTR/916/TLR video. Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 10:01:48 PM Also, 'Fast Bikes' is still published.
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 10:03:32 PM Also also: Shane "Shakey" Byrne races in WSBK, at the moment, for one of the privateer Ducati teams (I forget which one at the moment. Is he Checa's teammate?).
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: kopfjäger on October 02, 2010, 10:18:49 PM That's the one. Thanks [thumbsup] I thought he was still racing WSBK, because I hear his name from time to time.
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 10:43:34 PM Asshole riding or not, I still always enjoy watching that Fasbikes vid. Wish I could find it in higher-def, though.
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: kopfjäger on October 02, 2010, 11:08:01 PM Asshole riding or not, I still always enjoy watching that Fasbikes vid. Wish I could find it in higher-def, though. That would be nice, but I don't think they had the best camera's. Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 11:12:06 PM That would be nice, but I don't think they had the best camera's. True. But even the original film would be a fair sight better than the uber-compressed web version. Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: kopfjäger on October 02, 2010, 11:15:05 PM True. But even the original film would be a fair sight better than the uber-compressed web version. Maybe we could contact the source.? Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 11:19:38 PM Maybe we could contact the source.? Oh, I suppose... if you really want to recommend something so proactive. [roll] I know they put out a handful of DVDs, and at least one of them had footage that seemed like it came from the same trip that video was shot on, but I haven't found anything that is that particular video released. I guess shooting somebody an email wouldn't hurt. Might get an answer... Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 02, 2010, 11:53:19 PM So now I'm watching the video. I think what I like most is the intake sound that comes through so well on the bikes.
Tangent: Where the hell is the on-board footage in WSBK? They used to do it now and again, and I really dig it. Last couple years, none to be seen... :P Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: He Man on October 03, 2010, 02:43:03 AM He-man, Yahuen and me with Desmolu on the back did some pretty insane lanesplitting though Virginia once. It was pretty make the beast with two backsing nerve wrecking I dont lane split that crazily at all. Im VERY mild so if you think thats hairy, you should see what yauhen does when hes riding by himself, i cant keep up at all. 90% of it stems from the fact that my mirrors are mounted to my clip ons which happen to be right at the mirror level of sedans though... maybe i should get taller mirrors. and +1 thats not lane splitting! its not dense enough! Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: justinrhenry on October 03, 2010, 04:50:29 AM there was a little bit of lane splitting in there, but it was mostly just riding on the wrong side of the road.

Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: herm on October 03, 2010, 03:28:29 PM that's not lane-splitting, that's just pure douche-baggery. +2. not impressed in the least. a) riders like that give all bikers a bad reputation b) when he gets tagged by a cage........whose fault? who gets the blame? c) with riders like that, is it any surprise that our insurance rates are too high? Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit?

AFAIK these videos are all from foreign countries. I don't think that affects your insurance. ;) Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: 1KDS on October 03, 2010, 04:13:42 PM yeah they're all douche bags etc. but the vids are entertaining as hell
Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: zarn02 on October 03, 2010, 04:35:46 PM Alright, so we can all agree that most of the things we're seeing fall under "Bad Ideas."
That said, some of y'all could take the fun out of an orgy. [roll] Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: kopfjäger on October 03, 2010, 04:51:29 PM That said, some of y'all could take the fun out of an orgy. [roll] [laugh] [laugh] not to mention one of the riders is a WSBK racer. [thumbsup] Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: Rameses on October 03, 2010, 04:53:12 PM Am I the only one here that thinks it's obvious that the video in the OP is sped up?? Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: kopfjäger on October 03, 2010, 04:55:54 PM Am I the only one here that thinks it's obvious that the video in the OP is sped up?? ^^ See Zarns post above. :D Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit? Post by: Rameses on October 03, 2010, 05:00:55 PM ^^ See Zarns post above. :D I'm not tryin to take the fun out of it, I just don't think it's really what the guy was trying to make it look like it was. If it was legit, then cool. But I don't think it was. I've always loved that Fastbikes video, but the guy in the OP to me is a poser. Title: Re: So you think you can lanesplit?

You must not have seen the daily commuters videos in CA? THAT'S lane splitting!! Supposedly new Lane splitting law here in PHX next year. [evil] /WISHING I had a camera when I followed an R1 from the MotoGP in Mugello to the Ducati Factory. Lane splitting through a 30+ mile traffic jam! The ride from Rome to Florence..100+ mph between semitrucks on the Autostrada. I was the last in the line of approx 75 ducs too! Michael Moore can attest to that ride!! :o |
