Now take that second pic to your State Representative and ask them to start a bill allowing lane splitting in your state.
Tell them that a lot of bikes are air cooled and even some liquid cooled bikes will over heat and allowing them through would
keep them from becoming a bigger problem if they over heated and caused another (bigger) traffic problem.
How long did it take you for your 493 mile loop?
I plan on going to St Louis next month and it is a few mile less that what you did on your loop.
