Two Questions.
Anyone have ballpark estimate of my ticket? two unsignaled lane changes and no insurance.
And secondly, is painting the exhaust a good idea? I'd love to paint em black I think it'd look awesome!

I used Dupli-color engine enamel (ceramic, 500-degree, gloss): I prepped by cleaning with thinner and sanding with 200. I used steel wool between 4 coats. This is the second set I painted, and both held up well. The cans the pic were chopped as well as painted. |

Passing in a no pass zone on the Talimena Scenic Drive will set you back $254!!  Actually the whole 52 mile drive is a double stripe/no passing zone. Who knew?  |

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!
I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!
The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I crossed a flare line at a freeway accident for $280 Magnesium burns at 1,166 °F, and rubber can melt as low as 208.4 °F Had you hit one of the flares, the burning portion could have stuck to the tire and burned a hole into it, causing rapid deflation of the tire. You would have likely ended up on your ass in front of some very irate  That would have been fail blog worthy  |

Another noobie question, I see lane splitting brought up alot around here. Is that just riding inbetween lanes/cars or is it weaving in and out of traffic? Is it illegal to ride the line inbetween lanes and cars?

I hear CA law allows bikes to ride between lanes in traffic jams. Likely applied I think it means passing without much room between cages. Dangerous and I've never done it  . Wait for others input |

lane splitting in TX is not specifically addressed but it is considered "reckless" driving when you get pulled over. I wouldn't do it here because there are too many idiots who switch lanes randomly. When I lived in Cali it was fun but I couldn't fit my Roadstar through half the shit so I drove down the emergency lane and BAM another ticket. Never rode my sportbike during traffic, waited for the weekend and hit Ortega hwy.....BAM more tickets. come to think of it I hate CA.
Ok so the fact is you DON'T want to do it here, especially being new and getting comfortable with another bike.
