[Nor Cal driver]

I ride mine to the office most every day, besides the heavy rain. And I lane split everywhere and do so with GREAT CARE.

Whenever I ride, and for that matter drive, I do so with the understanding that it is entirely up to me to maintain a safe enviroment for myself - because IMO everyone else is trying to kill me. That being said, I do recognize when folks out there are actually being attentive and friendly / skilled drivers, and I appreciate it - no matter if I am on my moto, bicycle, or car. Of course, when on the moto I always give a wave or finger nod to drivers that let me past.

I really do wonder about the poll at the top there. There are a few votes that perplex me. Why would one intentionally block a moto rider - we sure don't slow you down...and any that do are at fault and should lose their license. And why would one just be bothered by riders - we have such a intense focus on roads and drivers and skills and behaviors that a motor sports enthusiast like a Porsche owner would almost be sure to appreciate it...
