yea doing stuff on the highway like that is what gives us all a bad name. It should be kept to the track. If i'm going to mess with some one it's either on the strip or on a track not on plubic roads. just be careful out there i just had a friend that got hurt really bad by messing around on the highway. he got ran over after he went down luckly he had his gear on and is doing alright.

My friends were riding back from AMA lane spilting on the frwy because traffic was moving at a snails pace. Anyways they come up to this accident that just happened. A guy was lane splitting at about 90 mph when a van attempted a lane change...the guy hit the back of thevan. He did not fair well...I am not sure if he is alive or not but one of the girls is an EMT and the other a RN. Since they were first on scene they took care of him the best they could and they determined he had severe brain damage at the scene by the way he was acting.
We all ride and it is a ton of fun but becareful. Other vehicles cannot see us as easily and sometimes just don't look. The nice thing about track days and pretty much any form of racing is you are in a controlled environment. So even if you crash you have a much greater chance of survival and limited damage. And EMT's onsite to take care of you.
Ride safe everyone, there has been a lot of MC accidents this summer and the warm weather has just arrived.
