Not that lucky. Just a local circle track with a slalom through the pits.

[QUOTE=MikeSP1;65551]Turned left at a light, everything got straightened up but I couldn't buzz through traffic because 2 cages were side-by-side. In traffic I ride VERY cautiously and don't like being next to cages.
That reminds me... How many riders here currently or have ever split lanes? I do it pretty regular and in CA I think most of you do it. If the light is red and I figure I have the time, I'm moving to the front of the line. Right up the middle, at about a walking pace. Trailers... I remember once in Flint,MI on I-75 There was a slam on your breaks line up that Had a lawn mower and one of those large rear ramps straight up it the air in front of me. We're in the left lane at the bottom of a hill and It took some effort for me to stop on the bike so I thought this could be bad for who ever is behind me, Maybe I should move over beside it in the middle of the two lanes... Just as soon as I did BOOOOM! The truck following me slams into the trailer so hard the mower flys back into the gate and then off the front of the trailer into the tail gate of the truck pulling it! I just shook my head and thanked my lucky stars. Slammed it in first and tore up the lanes till I hit free space, First exit and collected my thoughts and life goals... That space between those cars can save your life! I use it.

Gotta watch your 6! That's the great thing about bikes...You have options, escape routes you wouldn't have over a cage. Plus the greater performance capabilities to avoid trouble.

splitting lanes at the stoplight makes my commute only 18mins in rush hour traffic. takes 35-40 in a cage. im not speeding, its just alot of stoplights, and most are quick, coupled with the rush hour number of cars.
cagers try to squeeze u out sometimes bitches.

I almost highsided in turn 4 on a wet track at the last track day.
The track was changing from 'wet' to 'damp' and I got on the gas a little too hard going up the hill. I felt the tire start spinning and the rear end of the bike drifted out to the left... The bike was WAYYYY fucking sideways. I just stayed on the gas and rode it out... but it was scary as fuck.
