Something what annoys me is when you get to a four way stop and the drivers think you don't know how to drive, or maybe you don't have a DL cuz your riding a scooter. So they sit there, sometimes wave you on when it's their turn to go. First you stop, then you go. And pedestrians that tell you to go ahead of them, but if a cop see's it they'll cite you for failure to yield to pedestrian. I really try to watch for the peds., there's been a few times where I didn't see them till I had to lock up the rear drum brake....... Embarrassing, and once it went sccrreeeeeecchh!

Nevada is one state that passed the left turn law. Problem is that if you are making a left turn from a street that doesn't have a left turn lane, the light doesn't "cycle", so you will never get to two cycles, so I wait a "reasonable" time, check traffic, and go. Hi, Beenriding, your post filed while I was typing mine... I'm not a fan of lane splitting either, and, though not legal here, you see lots of it..Good riding to you, and if you are in Vegas, watch the rain slick roads today.. Rain in Reno too! Yea, there's some lights I know wont turn green for me, try to avoid them but if I must I'll wait till it's safe and go. I think that's better than, turn right, make U turn, make right again for sure. Been in the Bay area where they split lanes at 40mph, just crazy, and they don't realize not everybody expects a motorbike to come blazing past them at a stop light. Even if I could don't think I would.

What state? I thought only a few states allow it. Im in california. At least Im allowed to split lanes that I do know. Right next door in N.V.... We don't get to split lanes yet, but I'm not sure if I would, seems scary whenever I visit your state.

Rode into work today. Got up to 50mph. Made it the 5 miles into work WITHOUT putting a foot down from start to finish!!!!woot-woot (2stop sighns and 5lights). Reallized I really want to balance the wheels also! Checked my air before the commute, decided i need to do this WAY more. Going three weeks without checking was way too long. Figured since I had been riding every day didn't need to check as often (you guys should know why). Maybe because the tires are old but that was a mistake. congrats on an awesome ride! Help with tire balancing... I love these little things.

Traffic light sensors....nuff said Just this year they passed a state law that allows motorbikes to make a left turn on red if the light doesn't change for you. It's supposed to be TWO cycles of lights but I know which lights will never turn and go after the first. I know this doesn't help if you're not turning left but it really helps if you are. They decided that sitting at a red turn light while everyone else flys by you is more dangerous than turning left on red. I agree.

RENO ROCKS!!!!!!!!! just sayn (Sorry for the double post) The Wolfpack is indeed great!!!!!! Well It rocks for a few months out of the year. I have bad knees from my youth so I don't ski or board anymore, have NO use for snow or even cold weather. Lived here for a long time, LOVE the summers, but every winter sucks a little more than the last one.

wheelbender6 Also, gas is cheaper than it was a year and a LOT cheaper than two years ago. I must admit I'm part of the problem, last year I tried to ride at least 3 days a week to work, so far this year 0. I just don't like the commute, don't like riding with a pack, took my top box off. I work 8am -4pm, it's usually baking hot and windy when I get off. I always enjoyed it more in the morning than afternoons. But I ride strictly for pleasure I don't need to ride it to work.

horace I'm up in Reno, it WAS like that here, but for some reason not this year. We aren't a very scooter tolerant town, people don't have patience for the 50's and they don't want them in the bike lane either. You see them in the downtown area, but that's about it. There are a ton of motorcycles out tho. Maybe all those scoot riders are now motorcycle riders! And I don't know why there's no scooter rental here yet either. There is/was a guy on C/L selling like 10 scooters, he was going start a rental company but found out the insurance was out of his league.
