The crotch rockets are a real issue in SOCAL. I have a bike and I lane split from time to time when traffic stops. Otherwise, I ride like someone is trying to kill me with dumbness, which is a correct assumption.
These guys are simply nuts. I am sure none of them has actually gone down on their rockets. Once you go down, it kinda of cures you in either one of two ways.
1-Dead or diabled.
2-Wiser and very very sore.
I did number 2 once which avoided number 1 later on.
Learning is a very very good thing.
PS-I always give my wife a heads up on the bikes coming through. I can be very scary when you don't know they are coming.
