Another favorite tactic is white lining. In a perfect
scenario I white line to the front while everyone is stopped
at a red light.


Here in NC, your are liable to get a bullet in your ass, or run off the
road, doing that crap. I might be one of the ones to run you off, as you
are pulling forward.

Don't do that crap. Be a little more patient.

Unfortunately, lane splitting seems frowned upon in the eastern US, unlike
in CA and parts of Europe (it seems popular and accepted in France
anyway). Personally, I think it is a great idea and would encourage more
motorcycle use and less fuel consumption. In Taiwan they even had special
"boxes" paintd on the roads at the intersections to allow the scooters to
move to the front and "stage" for the green light.

I think it is both illegal as well as frowned on in PA as well. The
difference here though is that if you shoot at a motorcyclist odds are
they, and several friends, will shoot back.

Yeah, but it is hard to pack "long iron" on a bike... ;-)
