Filtering/splitting is amazing, helped my mental health and mood at the office so much. Cut my commute down from 90 min to 30 minutes each way. Get to sleep in an extra hour and have another free hour in the evening. I can never go back to a car commute. Rain or shine I ride.

Filtering/Lane splitting is life here in CA. A lot of considerate people will move over to give you more room, but many people oblivious to everything around them. I'd have to say it's safer splitting lanes than sitting in traffic. So many rear end collisions happen in traffic here in CA

Someone in front of you acting weird, just slow down or stop, let them act weird UP THERE away from me. Someone being strange behind you, slow down and get behind them, or speed up and let them be strange back there, away from me. Avoidance is often the best way to deal with other people's problems lol.

STarted riding a couple weeks back. I still get quite nervous when coming on trafic....but i guess is just a matter of practice. Will be very careful always.

Another thing you should always be doing as a rider is thinking "WHAT IF" What if someone brake checks me? What if someone is doing a uturn in the middle of this corner up ahead. What if a kid drops a ball and it rolls into the street while I'm doing 130mph on a R1? Thinking "what if" is a great tool, and strategy to keep yourself in check, on track, street, and trails. Stay safe everyone.

@jakegarrett8109

Жыл бұрын

Yep, that's how I calculate safe speeds with what if's? Typically its with a deer sprinting from the trees across the road. I was appalled by his dangerous riding at 35:00 thinking, those trees are right there and you won't have time to slow and will hit a deer at 90+ mph... then 25 seconds later you see a deer crossing sign... BRO, its a known deer crossing area, what are you doing!?! I find that horribly dangerous, and I'm not one for driving overly cautions ether. Not even 2 weeks ago I found myself going 70 mph backwards and sideways in my car (spun out but not even a scratch on my car). I normally hit that left turn at much faster speeds but a combination of traffic changing my optimal entry curve and a misshift meant that even at 60-65 mph it was a lot closer to the limit (I made the turn fine) but just after going mostly straight I hit peak torque at 6,500 rpm (65 mph in 3rd gear), and the second intakes open up and I started spinning tires fishtailing (was going basically straight by then but still broke traction accelerating). So I played with the fishtailing for too long and it got me that time (which is why I practice fishtailing and often making it worse on purpose stomping on the throttle just because knowing how to fight the fish worst case scenario with low grip has saved me many times in rainy or icy conditions and able to keep calm and correct it). If I'm going in the 90's or higher on curvy roads with trees nearby, I'd prefer to have airbags for a deer in a car (it would suck to hit a deer at that speed, but at least you both won't go splat like Yam would have). My main rule is don't drive where it would endanger others (I make sure nobody is close if I'm having fun or pushing the limits), but I don't see the harm in going really fast on a bike because you're really going to be the only one injured. With that said, I don't want to harm an animal either hence I keep it relative to treeline and deer sprinting speed. I wouldn't go as fast as he was at that spot, its just not safe to do that there, and really that deer crossing sign 25 seconds later proves that point. You gotta watch out for deer, and always play that what if game, because yeah kids run chasing a ball, or maybe some kid is playing paintball out in the woods and crossing the road, I mean I'm not going to take that risk (If I did for some reason I'd accept the consequences and without hesitation yank the bike off the road if I have to because I'm not injuring anyone. My own fault if I'm going to fast, just always expect a car pileup ahead around that blind curve and drive accordingly).

It’s what we learn here in Holland, too, as many car drivers have the tendency to overtake if you are not clearly positioned inside the lane, which is arguably means being in the center or to the left of the center, something they also affects how visible you are in the rear-view mirror. Seeing this rider do the opposite was a bit disturbing. I don’t think it’s what he should be teaching people tbh.

@PaulFrank49

@@lucasss02 I'm also from the Netherlands, but you have to keep in mind that driving habits in the US from what I have seen watching this type of content for a couple months now, is basically a free-for-all. People overtake left, right and if they could they would go over you. Whereas over here you have a well structured flow of traffic where each lane serves it's purpose (95% of the time). My point being is that if people can overtake you from the right side aswell, being on the left suddenly doesn't make that much sense anymore since the idea of being on the left/center is based on the assumption that people from the right are not going to overtake you and that you will only have to "defend" the left side. That being said, I still think as an outsider being on the left/center is a better position, for the visibility aspect, but video's don't always translate to reality 100%.

If any of your Texas local state representatives would listen to yammi maybe try to get them to introduce a bill🤷 it's worth a shot!

at the 2:45 mark, you should be on the left side of the lane - further away from the curb. In the right lane of a two-lane road, you should be slightly to the left of the centre of the lane in the left tire track. This position provides good visibility and blocks other vehicles from pulling up beside you in the lane.

@jackhandleman

Жыл бұрын

100% agree. Ridin on the right side of one’s lane on a two-lane is like inviting car drivers, who think they could juuuuust make it without crossing lanes to overtake. Then they forget about still having towing side mirrors on and it could end badly. Car driver’s blind angle also tends to be a wee bigger on the right. I am quite convinced, that correct lane positioning makes up like 30% of safe riding: avoid debris on the shoulders, avoid oil grime in the middle. Position Yourself to be seen, position Yourself to see, position Yourself to be on the outside of the incoming curve. Also: the right side of the lane is usually where the gutters are. If it has been raining gravel, sand, debris will be to the right.

While I know Yammie said it's mostly preference where your lane position is, I do think that in general, it's better to be on the left side because drivers (in the US) are on the left side of their car so you're more centered in people's vision who are behind you, and you're less likely to end up in somebody's blind spot with people to your right. If people are in a lane left of you and not in the one to your right, that's when I'd say it's safer to be in the right position. When nobody is around, then I'd say it's pure preference, but in traffic, there's definitely more times I'd argue left side is safer than right side.

But if you choose to be in the middle, you need to be constantly ready for emergency brakes if you are suddenly squeezed by the other vehicles, the chances for you to get hit or stuck in some situation is also higher but as you say whatever comfortable, you do you with tolerance & responsibly. * Your side of the road is subject to your region.

"Ride as if you're invisible." Love that! So important to not underestimate the situation as a biker.

Great tips Yammie. Filtering and lane splitting puts me in safer positions than being stuck between cars especially here in Bangkok. Motorcyclists are always considered second-rate citizens (from car drivers’ perspectives). Ride as if I’m invisible, tapping my brakes, and trying to stay out of cars’ blind spots are also super helpful.

I live in Cali where it’s legal to split, I don’t ride but I’m planning to soon. I always move to the side for bikers just to see the little two finger wave from them it makes me happy lol

Had a bike since 10 yo. Honda 50. Been riding for 40 years between Oregon, Missouri, Texas. You're spot on for the mindsets I ride with. Great info for younger guys. Who knows how many lives this will save. The fact is that it will.

Great commentary and thanks for the honesty about bending the road rules. It took me a few rides to have the confidence to begin filtering in London. We also have to watch out for the scooter delivery riders over here, especially when filtering as they cut between lanes.

This rapid thought is what makes me love riding everyday. In cars my brain is so inactive I almost want to fall asleep. Riding keeps me alert and engaged.

Only thing that I see as a problem with lane filtering is other drivers, especially those that hate bikers and get irrationally angry when you try to pass or cut in. That's why I really try to avoid filtering.

Much easier to park during peak times, much easier to drive through traffic clogs (filtering is amazing, and luckily, unlike Texas, not illegal here)...

Hope your Ninja serves you well too! :D

I don’t like assuming the guy in the inside traffic lane will stay there, as I’m pulling out, as you did right at the beginning. Unless there is a good deal of slow-moving traffic, I much prefer to wait until I’m as sure as I can be, recognizing there’s no 100% surety, in this life, that guy is going to stay in the far lane, before I pull out into the near lane. And filtering…some of those clearances looked TIGHT! You scared me half to death a number of times.

Just be aware that in the uk flashing your lights at someone at a junction means you’re inviting them to pull out and you’re giving way so would have the opposite effect of what you described.

One of the big parts about filtering is, safety concerns aside, you aren't just "cutting in line and jumping the queue". You're actually freeing up space for everyone behind you, as you aren't taking up an entire spot on the road. You have the size to utilize the parts of road that nobody else can, meaning there is more room for everyone else. Imagine if all bikers took up a full spot in traffic each, how many extra cars worth of space would be wasted on people who could easily filter through and let those behind get more space to work with. It's literally a win-win for everyone. Just keep the safety aspect in mind. Morally speaking, filtering is the golden standard.

watching Yammie since I started riding around 2017, damn as young rider and watching you grown into a role model for bikers around the world is just amazing

This was extremely informational for me as a new rider. I completely agree that "it isn't about fun, but just getting where you need to be" is the sensible thing to do in urban traffic. I see a lot of drivers and riders filtering and weaving through city traffic like it's their job, but in reality the most that people tend to get out of it is that they are maybe two or three vehicles ahead at the next traffic light. No point for me in that. If that's your jam, rock on. I want to be as relaxed as I can. I might still be too much in a "car headspace" in some ways, but working on it. Driving like I am the stealthiest, sneakiest mofo in the world is definitely sound advice. Has saved me from one close scrape already - pedestrian crossing the street. They were actually looking straight in my direction but still walked. Was able to slow down and swerve no problem, with enough room to spare. Stealth mode at work...and that pedestrian probably needed a change of underwear.

I found this very informative and helpful as a California driver who also lived in Austin many years ago. Thanks for the nice ride

The filtering/splitting was excellent from a noobs(me) point of view. You are an experienced rider, so its great to see that the caution I'm using (filter a bit, sit for a bit depending on the situation) is the way to go. It seems like common sense, but sometimes as a beginner I can feel a pressure to ride a little outside the optimum safety zone simply to demonstrate some ability. Thanks man.

"its a little bit difficult not to speed" OH YES 🤣

hey yammie, thanks for the great videos. Totally new noob to motorcycling and just passed my basic skills test today in NZ. Your videos really helping me to take things further. Can't wait to keep learning and practicing.

Good advice. One thing I would do different is the green light at 24:48. Here you have a clear view to the right, but the view to the left is obstructed by a line of cars in the left-turn lane. Perhaps you could see more during the ride than what we can see in the video, but otherwise, I would move to the right lane here to have more distance if a red-light runner comes from the left.

Lane filtering/Splitting have been a norm in some countries, especially Singapore. Can't live without doing them because you'll just taking up a car space and won't let traffic flow as fast. Really helped during peak hours. So glad I bought a motorcycle and not waste thousands more on a car.

I'd be careful when and where you flash your lights; I was always taught that's a signal to go ahead, it's clear. I see it a lot on interstates, especially when trucks are passing, but I also see it at intersections in place of a wave of the hand to tell others to go ahead. I'm about to get a bike again after not riding for over ten years and figured I'd brush up on some knowledge. Great video! I'm glad to see I have been doing things pretty similarly.

Just started riding on the 1st of January on a gixxer 600 here in Cali! Great video for me totally benefitted from this! Been watching yammie for 3 years and finally my dream came true of hopping on two wheels. Keep up the great work Yamz 😎

To me as a Dutch/European citizen it's actually mind blowing filtering is not allowed in many states. Is there no way of making it legal in more states? By doing it the way you executed in this video, is a great way of doing so. It's what we get taught here in The Netherlands actually if you do filter. Some agree with putting hazards on while doing so, especially in longer traffic jams. Some other say just go steady through the row of cars (in the middle not the shoulder) and stay vigilant for traffic in order to filter towards a traffic light. Your riding shown here is pretty much how I would ride through traffic as well.

Canadian here, and sorry for being late. Yeah it's possible for legislation to be made/overturned, but it's a BATTLE. The bill has to go through multiple levels in the state government, and can be shot down by the governor once it reaches their desk (Squid Tips made a video on that if you want). Add that to the fact that pretty much everyone says lane filtering is dangerous despite not being able to point beyond "but someone *might* open their door and hit you!!!!" and multiple studies proving it actually IS safe, it makes it really bloody hard. Only 4 states in the US have made it legal to filter/split, those being California, Montana, Utah, and most recently Arizona (according to a quick google search). There are also states where it's not clarified whether it's illegal or not, but I really don't want to type them all. In Canada it's expressly illegal to either split or filter in ALL provinces or territories, and there's a hefty fine if you get caught, so at least they can filter :(

This video is extremely helpful for new riders who haven't been on the streets yet, so thank you for making this one!

Very informative video on riding safe in traffic. Learned a bit on lane splitting. Thanks

I’ve never ridden a motorcycle but I’ve noticed this is exactly how I drive in my car. Attention is always 100% at the traffic and its patterns. I’ve been a licensed driver for 8 years and have never been in an accident because I pay attention.

Thank you for showing you how an actual person would ride in real highway/traffic situations. great vid!

Excellent honest video. I agree with your stay ahead of traffic idea. That way drivers are seeing you instead of pulling over on you. Lane splitting in the state of Virginia is illegal and police here are very aggressive about all infractions so even riding down a shoulder in stopped traffic gets you a reckless driving ticket. The legal situation here is actually affecting what kind of bike I might buy. No reason to buy a street burner if I can't enjoy it. Better with a cruiser or sport tourer with a huge rear taillight so I don't get run the hell over by someone making love to their phone driving a car. Road paranoia and awareness definitely keeps you alive. Great video, Yam.

This was extremely helpful and insightful. Thank you for doing this yammo. What a great idea for a video, giving us your entire perspective.

Best phrase ever: ride as if you're invisible! Filtering is legal here in Queensland, Australia but there are rules on min/max speeds etc. And it's important, you being stuck in start/stop traffic does the car drivers no favour as to them you're an alien and they don't know wtf you're doing siting there taking up half a lane. It's important to get out of there albeit safely and I'd rather get a nail in a tyre than sit stationary exposed and vulnerable so I'll take any safe path. Pick your moments but get away from the cars/trucks and free up space for them to "do their thing" in congested traffic without being confused about your presence on a bike.

I find it very useful. I ride in the same way, but i don't think I would be able to comment at that level to teach someone. Lovely job. Respect.

Filtering tips are on point. It's easier to filter in California because people won't block you intentionally, it's rare. Filtering can also save you from getting rear ended.

Here in Aus you are allowed to lane filter, city drivers sit on the inner line almost to stop motorbikes from doing it. idk watching Yam here, seems to be some people over there who are entirely against it so do the same thing as here by sitting on the line preventing safe splitting.

I AGREE WITH YAMM AND HIS RIDING TECHNIQUES !! 👍

I agree even on a bicycle lane splitting is safe . Am not going to put myself in an uncomfortable and dangerous situation where it can be avoided. Both motorcycle and bicycle gotta ride as if you’re invisible . Always anticipate any situation can happen. Yammie Noob makes great videos . I do also have my M1 endorsement . Bicycling does help a lot with motorcycling / motorbiking .

Flashing lights in my country is used to indicate that you are giving the way to the other driver. So flashing light on intersection could kill you :)

Parking: you are not goint to need all of the spot. Leave space for another motorcycle to park by your side... at least I would do that over here where bikes are quite common. In your whole ride, I think you only saw one other bike, that's crazy!

I think that paucity of motorcycle traffic is one of the reasons so many drivers, here in the US, are completely oblivious to motorcycle traffic.

There aren't a lot of bikers here - and especially during the week and in the winter.

It's called "narrative" driving. It's required during CDL behind the wheel exams

One heck of a long drive to eat lunch. I've done the same thing here in Arizona. Phoenix to Flagstaff. Phoenix to Payson. Your drive reminded me of the ride from San Antonio North to the County Line BBQ restaurant in 1995. Nothing like the Texas Hill Country.

Thank you so much for this video!

Learnt alot from this thanks
