    The most dangerous place in the world to be on a motorcycle is between a pair of speeding semis. The air currents go from extreme negative to extreme positive pressures instantaneously
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    People who survived suicide attempts. Did they cheat death? They were not in the business of cheating death, they were eager for death!

    Back in my younger and dumber days, I would commonly split semis on the highway. You had to go fast otherwise sometimes it would feel as though your wheels were getting sucked under the truck. I stopped doing it when I startled a truck driver so much that he almost ran off the road. I felt bad and started using the shoulders then. Would still split cars though. At 140ish, traffic is simply obstacles to try and avoid. Like I said, younger and dumber. This is also why I no longer ride sport bikes. Even at my age, I can still see myself doing it. Now I cringe at the thought of my son possibly doing the same thing despite my lecturing. I don't dare tell him half of the things I have done.

    The state of Oregon is actively looking at the concept of allowing lane splitting. I got to take a survey on it and told them it was a massively stupid idea.

    After the survey I came up with an idea - all motorcyclists who lane split must be required to not wear a helmet...

    He should have died 3 times! Thankfully he's a very lucky guy!
