Yep...

White lining, lane splitting, lane sharing... All the same junk.

Traffic was TERRIBLE.

ManyCavies · March 4th, 2013, 09:43 PM

so do you just blow past people, or at a slower pace? I would be scared to go to fast.

Quote:

The term lane splitting, sometimes known as lane sharing, filtering or white-lining, refers to the process of a motorcyclist riding between lanes of stopped or slower moving traffic or moving between lanes to the front of traffic stopped at a traffic light.

I'm helping!

ManyCavies · March 4th, 2013, 10:13 PM

oh I've done it, just trying to get a feel for the people on this thread.

DeltaFoxtrotZulu · March 4th, 2013, 10:16 PM

First time I did anymore than the bare minimum of white-lining was on PCH a few weeks back. Best place to learn/practice it IMO. The roads can get packed and are pretty wide. People there seem to be more used to motorcycles and they leave room. I followed a guy through a long pack of traffic for 6 straight minutes (got it on video) and it was exhilarating! Got me over my nervousness and now I do it in almost any situation where it seems safe enough.

alex.s · March 4th, 2013, 10:18 PM

the racing got me bloodthirsty on the street. i was way too agressive especially lane splitting. now i dont really ride on the street so much

to be honest, we were going pretty fast. Faster than what one could consider, safe, or even a little risky. Most of the cars were pretty accommodating to us, but a few tried purposely to cut us off.

ManyCavies · March 5th, 2013, 06:01 PM

I get that, I say following my husband is like following a jackrabbit. He is on a 1000, I'm on a 250 so I probably do stuff I shouldn't, and even when he isn't here I do the same stuff

At least the 250 is thin so you can follow easier.

Rebelyell91 was one of my original inspirations for getting my Ninja...

I'm liking the idea of this event. I'll do my best to go.

rojoracing53 · March 6th, 2013, 10:14 PM

I asked a SoCal buddy to find me a route to San Diego from Simi Valley and this is what I got. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=S...16,17&t=m&z=12

Looks like a good amount of fun to me.

Trailerboy531 · March 6th, 2013, 10:31 PM

Your buddy picked out a very nice route for you. With the exception of lacking GMR I'd say you're hitting it all.

Only question I have is why not stay on Decker all the way to PCH (Thought the descending double hairpin at the end is mostly a test for how much your brakes faded). The rest of this looks good for the Los Angeles leg of the journey.

Corona · March 18th, 2013, 12:14 PM

I should be able to make it, unless something comes up, I'll let you know for sure about 2 days prior.

This is how I get when I'm realllyyy late for something and need to get there in a hurry.

Taken from my helmet cam when I was late to class this last Thursday. The song is what I was actually listening to through my Sena SMH5-FM.

No. How is that ride?

StephenA · March 22nd, 2013, 07:09 PM

i rode turnbull. it'a fun. that being said, it is Whittier so the road quality is not too great. I'm no canyon carver and rode it when i had like a day on my new bike so to someone with skill, it'll be fun. also, it's not too long, so the ride miight get boring after riding the same road over and over.

AlfredoGonzalez · March 27th, 2013, 04:54 PM

I may try to organize something with a few riders this weekend.

Trailerboy531 · March 27th, 2013, 04:57 PM

so....random question... How many of you are looking at getting in to riding at the track? It's the best decision you'll ever make regarding riding. Any interest?

Very interested!! however I'm still looking for a suitable 1 piece that fits my budget..

Trailerboy531 · March 28th, 2013, 12:00 AM

You will have time to save for it. Keep an eye out on the classifieds section of socalmoto.org I've seen people give suits away to new people just to get them to the track. At any rate there are always good prices. Some guy is selling a really nice size 44/54 Alpinestars suit for $600 OBO on there right now.

What size are you, I have a suit i can loan out to a first timer. Man rules apply if you crash in it.

DreamN · March 28th, 2013, 10:46 AM

Saving up for tires, brakes, track pants, and apparently gauntlet style gloves now since I read they're required for most organizations. ::le sigh::

Really hoping to that have everything by mid April so that I can join TrackXperience @ Streets on the 27th/28th of April.

DeltaFoxtrotZulu · March 29th, 2013, 10:08 PM

Tomorrow anyone up for something? I'll be out in PCH area. Might do a little canyon riding, but I'm still kinda new at things so nothing too complex.

So to the so cal riders out there, let's plan something. Canyons, coastal rides... something. I need to let my baby's lungs open up and breathe.

Hey Alfredo, Tomorrow is the annual meetup at calabasas, I have one rider coming along with me, we will be heading down there from San Bernardino County. You gonna go?
