The attitude is what gets me.

That's another reason why I don't. What gives me the right to pass everybody when they can't do it too? I'd rather just grin and bear it. I'll get there eventually. On a motorcycle, life is the trip, not the destination.

Sooo... what gives you the right to buy abnd ride a bikem, when there are sooo many unhappy poor lot who can't afford one?
Why can't you take a bus like them ?
Roll Eyes

Because you can afford a bike, so you buy one, pay your taxes on it, and ride and enjoy it.

Sooo... when the situation comes to the "behave like a car and die, or ride your bike like a bike" scenario...
... Roll Eyes

...

That's the question I was asking from the very beginning.

I can't afford to fry an engine/month and buy my mechanic a new boat every summer... Embarrassed

Fair, if I'm getting shafted, YOU need to get shafted.
I wonder what people like that do if they hit the lottery.

You got it.

But those who get angry because someone found a way to avoid a hassle aren't real giving. Sitting in traffic needlessly, bathing in the shared discomfort of the unfortunate who run their heater when you're cold, run their AC when you're hot and put the top up when you're riding in the rain?
How does sitting in traffic diminish their inconvenience? How is their inconvenience worsened by your riding past?
I'm sure there are hungry and homeless. How many must there be before it's time to feel obligated to share in their discomfort?

People who get ticked because YOU'RE not stuck in traffic probably laugh at people getting hurt on Funniest Sadistic Home Videos.

If the bike overheats sitting still, shut it off.

Do you feel guilty if the line you're in moves faster? Do you somehow feel better than the unfortunate in the slower line? Do you believe they think you think you're better than they? Why turn away from opportunity? They have heat, AC, protection from rain, dude, you do it your way,

Posts: 3767 Tennessee Gender:	Re: Lane Splitting Reply #23 - 07/07/15 at 19:37:59 I consider it like this: if there's a person standing in line at the grocery store and this person isn't paying attention and leaves a gap between them and the next person, do I jump ahead of them? I have the opportunity.

I can live with that. Cutting in line is different. You actually caused them to spend more time waiting. How would you hurt them by walking out the door? And, you avoided my point.

I am comfortable with my place in the world, as long as my lane is moving faster...
I do feel really cheated though, when the other lanes go and I'm just sittin'''.
It's a cruel, cruel world.... Huh

I'm not cheating someone when I have a path of less resistance.
I'm not cheated when they do.
If a group walking encountered a twenty foot wall with various width openings and I was skinny enough to get through the first one, but the fat boys had to walk a mile to find a gap they could get through, am I morally obligated to either walk with them and his five fat buddies or do I just have to wait to go through till he does?
If someone intentionally blocks my access to a path I could use to get on with my life, then I'm cheated.
I scoot over and give room to people who seem in a hurry. For Ll i know they're trying to get to hospital, cuz mum has had a heart attack.
