Yep. What the hell is the point of using moto/scooter as commuter vehicles when you have to be stuck in traffic like the rest of the cagers. Might as well take the cage and enjoy the HVAC, not to mention don't have to worry about becoming the fillings for the cager metal sandwich.

OK, being as I live in Texas now, this bill is WAY more important to me. Can someone give me an idea of where this thing stands right now, and what I can do to help?

It will still be a couple of months before I'm back on the bike, but if I can help this thing through in any way then I'm in.

I do it to enjoy riding, I would rather we had L/S but we don't. I still commute

Ca is really the only state that I know off that allows L/S

Sputnik wasn't the roadblock. He was actually fantastic, and has done more for motorcycling in Texas than any other single individual.

Lanesplitting is still on for the next session.

Thought he was the primary one or at least led the group that opposed LS?

So besides helping repeal the helmet law, what else did he do for M/C?

Do you do it anyway, if it's obvious there's no cops around? I would.

I know that In Tennessee that if you come to a light and its red for 3 turns then your allowed to run it, but besides that there lane splitting is illegal. Doesn't mean i don't do it. I'm really wanting it here in Georgia and Tennessee though. They are doing so much construction in and around Chattanooga its killing me and i'm sitting in 90+ degree weather on a flipping oven thats reaching post 220 degrees temperatures. I'm sry if the general public doesn't approve but i don't like roasting like a Thanksgiving turkey while trying to get to work.

If your not sure what your state laws are here ya go
