Yes, wonder what happens to motorcycles? When I finished my undergrad in California back in the 80s I left my bike in California because I realized I was lanesplitting at high speed and realized such a California habit would get me quickly killed any where else in the country.

As I mentioned, lane splitting is killing young men here in the Bay Area today. These are often low-speed collisions, too — 10 to 20 mph. You clip a corner of a vehicle at a 5 to 10 mph speed difference, down you go, and the other cars crush you.

We finally got our son off his bike. It got tapped in a parking spot, fell over, punctured the crankcase, and ran out of oil! Thank God for miracles. He is entering the fire fighter profession and every fire fighter he has met and worked with told him they would not ride a bike here — too dangerous. And that’s from the guys who enter burning buildings to save people!
