Went snowmobiling in the Black Hills this past weekend. Morning temps were COLD! -24* @ 8:15am, in the sun, without windchill. But the snow was good, so everyone forgot about the temps quickly.
I need one that says Prado.

How did you get those shots? I know my 250 has a camera integrated into the rear view mirror pod in the windshield, but I didn't know you could access its footage.
If utilized properly with style and grace it is quite efficient. Still sketchy if traffic is not stopped.
This guy was not lane filtering though. He was just trying to get that second date on his birth certificate cashed in.

Stereotyping but... Loud pipes save lives! You know what else does? Helmets.
I haven't really done much lane filtering on the moto yet. It's not so much me I worry about it's the other drivers, although there's so many Californians here now that maybe I shouldn't be too concerned.

Lane splitting and filtering in California is AMAZING. The vast majority of riders here (me included) do it safely and sanely. A few obviously don't and quickly become meat crayons.
The cagers (car/truck drivers) are usually really good about giving us space and being attentive.
I ride a quiet bike but it looks like a cop bike which is even better than loud pipes. EVERYONE sees me on the road and gives me space.
Those dudes that nearly became a land cruiser hood ornament really need to think about what they want in life and if that includes being a quadriplegic or dead. Even the real motorcycle gang guys out here ride safely when lane splitting or filtering. It's extremely rare to see shenanigans like that.

When I visited Stan Wright at Craig hospital during his recovery from his spinal injury, I learned that a very large fraction of the TBI patients there re-learning to walk, etc. were motorcyclists who weren't wearing a helmet when they crashed.
I have the optional factory dash cam. Install in my build thread link below. After market option are cheaper and probably more feature rich but this was plug and play and covered by vehicle warranty at time of purchase.

Quite a crap comment tbh.... There's very specific boundaries that make it legal, and this pic being taken at 35mph, definitely doesn't fit within those boundaries. I lane filter often, and it keeps my bike from overheating and my leg from getting bbq'd while sitting in traffic... It's been studied & proven that when done properly within the set legal boundaries that lane filtering saves motorcycle riders lives.
