    Think of this as you inch forward until the green light with a motorcycle behind you. Just stop. Riding at 2 mph is misery.

      Get a lighter bike, mate. Scooter goes brrrr! But also, yes. Please god, the misery of traffic jams must stop. Let me lane split!

        I got a tenere 700 coming from a rebel 500, both relatively light bikes but the tenere is so tall it’s hard to waddle. I’d honestly love a scooter just for commuting and errands.

        I live in a state where splitting is illegal but I can get away with filtering at stoplights. :)

          I’m mostly joshing ya. My scooter weighs all of 150 wet, but I have a sport tourer that’s somewhere around 700. It sucks to maneuver that thing. I wish the feds would do something about lane splitting. Once upon a time they were able to get us on HOV lanes.
