Motorcycle Lane Splitting California

Motorcycle Lane Splitting California is legal!

Heading out of the bay .. I left at the wrong time…there were some breaks in traffic but not much..it started clearing up outside of Vacaville…. longest session yet!

Assembly Bill 51, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, for the first time legally defines lane–splitting, the practice of motorcyclists riding between lanes to move quickly through traffic. 

Personally, and most probably because I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 40 years, I try to avoid lane splitting whenever possible. naturally here in Southern California, when you’re riding in the air-cooled bike sometimes lane splitting is unavoidable to prevent damage to your engine.

But, with that said,  there’s been many times when I’ve been invited to ride from San Diego up to LA  and have declined just for the fact that I knew it would entail lane splitting in super-heavy LA traffic. I’ve seen my share of distracted drivers here on the California roads,  and really don’t want to increase my odds of injury by splitting lanes on the congested freeways.

Driving a car here in San Diego, on a number of occasions, I’ve been rear ended by an inattentive driver. Luckily, there were never any injuries and only some fender damage in each case. Now, keep in mind that if the same accidents occurred while I was on my motorcycle, the outcome would have been totally different. (more…)

Ironhorse Motorcycles

Ironhorse Motorcycles

Three cool looking iron horse motorcycles in San Diego’s East County.

Kevin is one guy who really likes horses . . . Not only real horses, but Ironhorses as well!

The Ironhorse motorcycle that you’re looking at on the opening screen of the above video, is a Legend model. This particular one has a 2008 Texas Chopper tank on it. If you look closely you’ll see some of the differences between the Texas Chopper, the second motorcycle in, and the Legend the first motorcycle in the foreground. First of all, look at the swinging arm on the rear wheel and you can see that the Legend is an A-frame style and on the Texas Chopper has a straight bar that goes back to the wheel. (more…)

Counter-steering on a motorcycle

Counter-steering on a motorcycle

Consequences of not understanding Counter-steering on a motorcycle


In short, turn the handlebars left to go right, and turn the handlebars right to go left. This principle holds true at speeds from about 15 or 20 mph and higher, and is true of all motorcycles.
Don’t believe it? Watch the video. And then go out to a safe area with no traffic, and try it yourself.

Practicing counter-steering so that it becomes second nature can SAVE YOUR LIFE! Understand and practice it! (more…)

Motorcycle Girls

Motorcycle Girls

EICMA is the largest international motorcycle show. When you have good looking motorcycles, naturally the young men who dominate the shows always like to see the hot models that the motorcycle manufacturers higher to attract attention  to their new bikes.

Yes, just like day and night, peanut butter and jelly, good looking babes and motorcycles just always go together! I’ve been around a long time, and been to a lot of Hot Rod and motorcycle shows and can’t remember one that didn’t have good looking gals.  Let’s face it, sex sells! Okay, let’s exclude the Viagra commercials on TV, I bet that well over 80% or so of the other commercials have some underlying  sex beauty component. (more…)

Motorcycles Custom, Radical

Motorcycles Custom, Radical

It’s always nice to look at some very cool looking motorcycles. Personally, there’s no disputing that these are some very custom radical  motorcycles, but, I wonder how many of them are truly practical to ride?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A custom motorcycle is a motorcycle with stylistic and/or structural changes to the ‘standard’ mass-produced machine offered by major manufacturers. Custom motorcycles might be unique, or built in limited quantities. While individual motorcyclists have altered the appearance of their machines since the very first days of motorcycling, the first individualized motorcycles specifically labeled ‘Custom’ appeared in the late 1950s, around the same time as the term was applied to custom cars. In the 1960s, custom artisans like Arlen Ness and Ben Hardy created new styles of custom bikes, the chopper. (more…)
