CoarsegoldKid Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Is this an example of what you guys call "lane splitting"? It depends on whether or not the rider was wearing pool shoes and swimming shorts. Link to comment

Robus Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I agree with those who said the video looked sped up. Link to comment
MotorinLA Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I agree with those who said the video looked sped up. Not sped up, but the camera wide angle lens distorts the perception of speed. If you look around more, it seems that he is traveling slower than the cars zipping by right next to him make it appear. Link to comment
Rockrib Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 "At 1:53 he blows past a van and other cars that are stopped in front of a crosswalk. The lanes are clear ahead of the stopped cars so obviously the traffic is stopped there for pedestrian traffic." ================================================================= I counted 6 crosswalks. How many jaywalkers? No amount of skill let's you evade the laws of physics. Link to comment

rgraham Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 What a durlak. He should have wheeled when he was splitting between the cars. Link to comment
Urban Surfer Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Considering there was no horizontal movement of the front of the bike, not a blip. I'm certain it's not real. Link to comment
Endobob Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I know some of you on this board believe that lane splitting is OK. What do you think of this guy "Motorcyle Commute in Moscow". Can it be for real? Link to comment
cali_beemer Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yeah, I would believe thats real. I lane split everyday (not nearly that fast) and its pretty much routine here in California. He seemed to have a fair amount of room in all of that. Link to comment

Deadboy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Not all that hard to believe after riding in Italy last month....a bit over the line at times but really just a crazy young guy out to impress his friends (mission accomplished I'd say).... Link to comment

AviP Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The rider is definitely skillful. There were at least 3 situations where a car pulled into his lane and he changed lanes rapidly. His situational awareness is definitely top notch. I can't say the same for his mental state. He was definitely WELL OVER 30mph faster than the traffic in the slow sections. My personal opinion is that it is NOT possible to react safely at 30+mph lane splitting speeds. The margin of error is almost zero at 30+mph and it's Russian Roulette from there. Link to comment
RTP'er Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hearing the sound of the engine and knowing how fast that bike is there was quite a bit of speed at times. I am not sure why people keep posting the same video over and over in the same thread. I keep clicking thinking it's different. It was like a video game I don't want to play in real life. Very scary. I stubbed my toe this morning, man that hurt. I was thinking of how much a mistake would hurt in that video. OUCH! Link to comment
