I don't think he was trying to speak down to you, just giving the cold hard facts. I'm glad you could give us your history with bikes, but the truth of the matter is we all want to see everyone make it home safe, no matter what they ride. I think it was just a suggestion for newer riders, and since we didn't have that history lesson from you, and your previous post made us assume you were one. No harm, no foul. I agree 100% with MT. I also support lane splitting, but not for me. I don't have the miles that would make me comfortable to do that.
