I know we have all seen these types of video's but I was just curious if this was anyone on here.  Looked pretty aggressive even though the camera was sped up...

The guy is riding like an ass. Lanesplitting should be used when traffic is slow or stopped. He's not following the intention of the law...

I believe it was... 101 north.  I've never seen that freeway so empty before!

why is traffic moving moving so funny and everyone walking like they are in an old timey movie?
most of the rates of movement do not seem to match up with the rate of sound.

My opinion as well. I'm new to LS'ing and I only do it when traffic is a dead stop on the highway.

That is just dumb shit.

I'd bet if viewed at actual speed it wouldn't look nearly as egregious.

I came from southern California today for a Graduation at SBUC

Some A hole was riding like this... Getting so close to cars and wizzing by them well above the speed limit. It freaked my fiancee out.

I'd call it riding like an A$$ t0o,

Not really aggressive, just stupid.

I would be worried about someone opening their door just to see me fly through the air then dump a slurpy on me and laugh as I twitch on the ground. But hay who doesnt worry about that. Eichh

Ya...looks like the vid is 1.5 -2 times actual speed.  Meeh....more concerned about the abused suspension on that goat track of a freeway.  Ain't no Ghostridin' on that thing!
