You guys are picking up on the wrong part of what I said.
I said that what I do is tell them. I DIDN'T say that anyone else should do that.
What I DID say is that we, as a club should promote & practice good (not dangerous) riding habits.
Lane splitting is currently legal when the traffic is stopped. It is NOT legal when the traffic is moving & it is down right dangerous when the trafic is moving at or near the speed limit.
It's this type of riding that we should frown upon internally & openly NOT do it when on the road, so that idiots might eventually take notice.
The Busa is renowned as a "tough" bike. If the young ones see Busa riders ding the right thing then there's a good chance that they'll associate the Busa "toughness" with good riding habits & start to do that.
Hopefully.
