Thanks for clearing that up more for me. I've read about and even wanted to try it, but Virginia has a none happy view of that. There are times when I'd like to blast between cages but due to fear and my feeling that it's illegal in VA I choose  not to.

yeah I'd be SUPER cautious about doing it anywhere it's illegal.  Not so much for the legal ramifications, but more about people who think they're Judge Dredd and would give you some vehicular feedback.  Not sure how it is in VA, but I know people in other states (or even in CA, where it's legal) where John Q Public Fairness Police Officer decides to dangerously block you from filtering at a light or running you into a ditch because you dared to lane share.

Sitting in traffic is dangerous.  Lane splitting is dangerous.  They are both risky activities.  I also didn't comment on your need to inhale and exhale. 

I do not address things that did not need addressing.

Thus...

Your fail, sir.
Are you serious?  Are you unable to see the connection between sitting in traffic vs. lanespltting as the two alternatives available if you are in heavy traffic?

What euphemism is appropriate here?  I'll go with "amazing".  You're "amazing".

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

and I use that 'euphemism' extremely loosely.
