Cupcake-
you can watch the video of this at radaronline.com
all the cars were stopped at a light and brad was the only one moving and the only one at fault.

legal or not, he shouldn’t have been weaving through traffic like that. it’s not safe for anyone and he’s lucky it was only a minor spill.

As an avid rider myself yes it is legal to split lanes – in a safe manner. It’s usually cagers who use the excuse “I didn’t see you” whether you are splitting or not. Turn your heads people. When I split lanes in slow moving traffic I will rev my engine if I feel someone can’t see me. I do not split going 70MPH. I have to keep my bike cool, which is one of the reasons you are allowed to split in Cali. Sportbikes will overheat if you try to go really slow in traffic. Just a little info for you cagers and non-riders out there.

My uncle actually got a ticket for NOT weaving his bike through slow-moving highway traffic in California! He’s a very safe biker and would never do the weaving thing. To avoid having the bike overheat while sitting in traffic, he pulled his bike over to the shoulder and turned it off, hoping traffic would thin out soon and a cop ticketed him. I get that it’s unsafe to just park on the shoulder of the highway but when he explained to the cop about not wanting his bike to overheat, the cop told him he should weave through the traffic to avoid that!

Mebbe that fugly beard blew in his eyes and he couldn’t see where he was going…or it could really have been the pap.

I agree with you Cupcake!

Also, the law here in Cali states that motorcyclists should not exceed speeds over 20% above the speed of vehicle traffic. Personally, I find this to be very dangerous and I really hate driving here because of it.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! Am I wrong for finding this funny? I’m glad he’s OK but wow, this is totally embarrassing. I love it! It makes me want to EL0EL for days! It creeps me out when motorcycles do this…sometimes I want to open my car doors purposefully but that would be morally wrong.

Yeah its called lane splitting and it should be illegal because you should haven’t to worry about someone on a motorcycle riding in the lane next to you!!! And if you hit them ITS YOUR FAULT!!!

I was told the reason motorcycles are permitted to do this is because they are ‘air cooled’ and they can overheat if they are just sitting in traffic for too long. They are not permitted to go more than I think it’s 15-20 mph…

ouch! yeah, it really looks like he dropped the bike — he didn’t “hit” anything, more like he scratched something falling down.

hate when that happens, it’s hard to pick those suckers up. he probably bent something.
