What a fantastic feeling that while BMan, (Typhoon Cars),  is stuck in an endless stationary queue of traffic on Los Angeles' Highway 101 due to a minor accident, I am zipping past it all on my Honda motor-bike without a care in the world... 8)...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Hi BMan... ...!

Hi Craig.... ...!
I know exactly what you mean, we have to watch out for little Joey who wants to go walkies, and Grandma who can't wait any longer for a leak, and Mum who is fed-up with waiting and wants to get on with the shopping...
It's all part of the hazards which make motor-cycling so enjoyable... ...!
(It keeps you VERY alert to dangers)... ...!
You must really give it a try sometime Craig, your life will never be the same afterwards...LOL...LOL...LOL...!
...trust me... ...!

Cheers mate...

Paul, there is only one thing wrong with riding the lines between the lanes over here.....its called Lane-Splitting and its ILLEGAL !.......Law was made for safety reasons, as you can well imagine...........
.....not that I ever did it......I rode the shoulder and when confronted by the local coppah, I told him I needed to cool my engine or he would have more reason for plugged traffic lanes........ 8)  
Easy to get away with when temps hit 90+F

Hi Ken...
Over here you can legally use the whole of the road when safe to do so.
The only thing that is strictly illegal, is to cross over double white lines, (which makes sense).
Single and broken white lines are OK.

Sterling Moss always made the point of using ALL the road, "...that's what it's there for...", he said...!

In a long stationary queue of traffic in town I, (we),  frequently ride down the right-hand side, (off-side),  of the road, overtaking all the traffic, often passing police cars...
They give us no problems providing we are riding safely and not obstructing other oncoming traffic.
In other words, we don't contribute to the traffic jam... ...!

Cheers...

P.S. Before very long, over here, there will only be room for two-wheelers, motor-bikes, scooters, and pedal bikes... ...!

Thanks for that shot Fozzer, lovely piece of kit that.
I know what you mean about the wee twins being faster on the twisties. Mind you my cousin had a CB500 and it couldn't keep up with my old VF. Could be that I'm a bit of a nutter though...... I ride like I fly? There is a scary thought for all the motorists
Hopefully I'll get a blat on my friends GSX-R 750 tomorrow for a bit.... And the police pursuit cars here are Skodas Could be a v.good day

yah it can be just need to know the right places. . .or times (2 in the morning is allways great to test the 0-60 times )
alternatively you can always go to the track

right about now i wish i had a digital camera to show you my beauty. . . totally tuned, g-ed, you name it 93 mazda Rx-7. . . in forest green with a creamy tan interior. . .have put countless hours into tuning a tweaking that car. . .her stats are amazing. . .even with out the Nitrous Oxide (not that i ever do anything illegal. . .like speeding )

Well I posted a picture of my bike, so here's the car...

It's a Ford Mondeo ST220, 3.0L 24v V6, - about 255BHP on a cold day  not really that fast in the scale of things, but it makes a rude noise, and is pretty discreet - keeps the rozzers at bay!
