I'm reminded of somethign Donald Rumsfled said about intelligence.
He said there's three kind's of intelligence (information). There's
what you know you know, what you know you don't know, and what you
don't know that you don't know. It's the third one that causes the
problems.

Guess your problem is that you are only smart enough to have a
heartbeat
while driving, and nothing more. You can tell from the reaction here,
that nearly everyone thinks that what you are doing is not safe. Where
does that put you? Are you the only sane one, and the rest of the world
is crazy? That is usually not the case.

Continue as you like. In states where it is legal, continue to ride
between cars. In the states where it is not legal, don't drive by me.

Your actions are not going to save you. They will catch up to you, some
day, somewhere.

Drive sanely, and be prepared for the unexpected, and you will be more
safe, than what you are doing. Other people are not expecting you
coming past them, and they *may* not be expecting the unexpected, and do
something to nail you.

Let me ask you, Morgans, how many years have you been riding a
motorcycle in city traffic?

Well, you must live in a city where everyone drives nicely
and looks out for motorcycles, and don't yap on the cell
phone, and don't cut across 3 lanes of traffic in one fell
swoop, and alwyas signal when changing lanes, and always
stop and look both ways before pulling out of a driveway,
and, and wait for you to pass before pulling out because
there's no traffic behind you for blocks, and.....

Hmmmm....Have you never ever white lined?

I don't want to come off with a holier-than-thou attitude, but the answer
is- not even once.

Neither have I, but it still is a good idea whose time may still come.
