If you do go, hang back and observe, Ask questions at stops. Try to prove nothing.

Thank you for the advice

@Noah Calhoun

I have more riding gear than I would evver know what to do with. Would be happy if I had some things that fit you and helped you survive a fall. Gratis

How tall are you? Body dimensions?

What gear do you already own of any quality?

What helmet size?

What shoe size?

Don't be proud. Some of us have been riding many decades and just accumulate gear.

6'2 145lbs (yeah I know lol)

Jacket- medium

pants- 32 waist 34 length

9.5- 10 shoe size.

I have a helmet, and gloves.

Thank you for the offer.

You are fine with me. You are named after a famous person that lived a very long time and If you follow in his footsteps you should be good to go.

I will ride rear guard or sweep as it's called here.

good to hear, Thanks

not trying to race, I understand I'm a new rider, and stupid for starting on a liter bike. it just fell into my possession, no I don't have the best gear, but do really enjoy riding and want to learn for more experienced riders, you never know to much right., I'm not trying to be cocky in any sense of the word.

keep me updated on where this ride is If you want me to go, if not then let me know.

Whoa, let's stop right here. First, trying to keep up is NOT the goal. Ride your ride, your pace. Don't worry about keeping up, they wait for people to catch up at the stops/turns. There's no trophies at the end of the ride, so it's not worth wadding up your bike trying to keep up.

True, I just was trying to make the point that you guys wont be waiting more than riding.

If previous trips to SEO are any indication, I am sure this group will be at least a "Brisk" pace. 

I can keep up.

Haha. Not for you, but for Noah who's first post was new rider tagged hooligan.  Pic showed zx-10 and no gear.  Let's get on the same page...

Haha no doubt you're more experienced than me, but you need to start somewhere. I just ride to have fun because it's something I genuinely enjoy, and I'm trying to find some new people to ride with. 

Count me in. Where we meeting?

Let me know if you're interested in meeting up in the Polaris area today. With the weather still a bit warm looking for people to ride with.

Sitting in traffic on High St. in CBus this morning a dude on a Respol CBR was splitting at every light. 

haha I think that's fair, its more about safety than speed.

What he said^^^^

Keep in mind that lain splitting is ONLY 25mph or less, and 15mph differential speed. So if its stop and go on 77, espcialy when its hot out. Im going for it. If therre is room. Also know that the emergency lane is also off limits.

Most of the time, you should be done, and gone before the person ever looks up from there cell phone. Yes they will be very pissy with you, cuz you didnt "wait" in line. But whatever, im ahead of you now, get over. 

But please, stick to the "cali Laws" and dont give it a bad name here in Ohio. 

 

I got you, I never really split over 30mph.

If a cop sees you and can get to you, you are probably getting a ticket, but I do it whenever needed and have never had an issue with the law.

However, I will warn you, it's not the police I'd be worried about.  People get really upset when they see a bike taking advantage of this and they will cut you off purposefully and try to block you from getting by, for no reason other than the fact they can't do it and it pisses them off.... so if you do plan to lane split, I'd recommend being on incredibly high alert and do so at only a slightly higher speed than traffic is moving to give you plenty of time to react to those who can't understand what you are doing has no affect to them whatsoever. 

 Thanks I have already learned that haha, some lady nearly clipped me with her mirror this morning flying by me at Mach 7 almost pushed me into a semi.

I have a 2005 zx10r wondering if anyone knows how I can make it so I don't have to pull the clutch in so far in order to disengage it?

How enforced is lane splitting through heavy traffic here?

Just moved here from Georgia looking for some people to hang out and ride with.
