    RIP my co worker and friend. It was 2001. You were the OG Bay Area techie. Empty pepsi cans and pizza delivery stacked sloppily on your desk. Smart AF and hard working, always laughing. Earning money loving living .

    Riding your slim machine between lanes of SF traffic. Someone opened his car door for Lord knows what reason.

    Your girlfriend was inconsolable at your funeral

      There’s a reason lane-splitting is illegal in many jurisdictions. It’s still a tragic loss, but your friend made the active decision to operate a vehicle that was already more dangerous in an even more dangerous way.

        No doubt it was reckless and close to suicide

              Also, I gotta say: there are few usernames that, if one stumbled into a room where it was being chanted by a circle of schoolchildren, would be a good sign of cult activity in the area. Yours is one of them —to the tune of Duck, Duck, Goose, of course.

        There’s a reason that drugs are illegal in many jurisdictions. It’s still a tragic loss, but those junkies made the active decision to operate a needle that is already dangerous in an even more dangerous way.

        Dude, take a step back and look at data, not the crappy chain of thought you call logic. Accidents involving injuries go down when lane splitting is made legal.

          Oh, my bad. I wasn’t aware that lane splitting was addictive, a symptom of depression, and a vector for the exploitation of vulnerable people.

            Exactly right. Lane splitting, when legalized and regulated, is safer, more efficient, and frowned at by the general populace because they refuse to listen to the experts on it. Sounds a lot like our regulations on ‘illegal substances,’ doesn’t it?

          “…lane splitting is made legal.”

          Your vehicle doesn’t make you special; follow the same rules as everyone else on the road.

            Yaaaaaawn. I suppose bicycles should have seat belts then, aye? California, montana, utah, and other places have made lane splitting legal. They are following the same rules.

              I suppose bicycles should have seat belts then, aye?

              Bicyclists are almost as bad as not following traffic laws; I watched a motorized one run a red light yesterday. When I hit that asshole, it’s my fault even though they ran the red.

              California, montana, utah, and other places have made lane splitting legal.

              Glad I don’t live there.
