Yeah, out in the regular world of driving, a double DY is meant to simulate an island--namely, do not turn across here. Nevertheless, there are plenty of knuckleheads turning across them to enter shopping center driveways mid-block. And speaking of which (knuckleheads? ), as I was monkeying...

A pair of double-yellow lines next to each other ("double double-yellow") separating an HOV lane.

Noted. Thanks!

Yeah, I see what you mean, Tom. You're right: I blew up the tranning at about 60K on my first '05. I attribute that to a lot of commute miles where I rarely used fifth gear, keeping the tach relatively high in order to have improved responsiveness in the event of bad juju. And yes, I had...

Tell me more....

Beautifully said....

Very nice. Reminds me of Fang's favorite TV show growing up: The Littlest Hobo "Rambling around from town to town. Someday I think I'll settle down. But now I hunger to be free. Roamin's the only life for me...." https://youtu.be/aFZKlfRrGbw

Happy birthday! Hope you have a great day. For me, spending time with my daughter is always a great day!

I guess when you decide to go riding with a trike, you don't get to whip off your Clark Kent glasses and invoke your super motorcycle traffic-leaping powers. Heading home north on US 101 Sunday (yesterday) afternoon, traffic was flowing pretty well until I came over the hill from the Monterey...

I know it. I only went 45 through the stopped traffic. (But hey!--I kept up with the master that time we rode up to...wherever the f**k that was that one time.) P.S. Thanks again for the USB cable. And it was GREAT having dinner with you and Mrs. Fairlaner. A fun evening.... Next time...

Apropos of this conversation, here's what traffic on the 405 south looked like Saturday morning (yesterday) between 11 and noon.

On Saturday morning I rode from Santa Barbara to Redondo Beach. Traffic was moving at the limit all the way till I merged onto 405 south, ground zero for L.A. traffic congestion. I don't have a lot of experience riding on L.A. freeways, where they have a different carpool (HOV) lane striping...

I am highly probable. For my tech project, maybe I'll replace all the velcro on my dash shelf.

That's a drag....

Wet weather? Wet gloves? That's a problem we'd like to have out here in Kali ... https://ca.gov/drought/ But to the point, I think I'm going to invest in some of those Aerostitch Triple-Digit Covers BikerGeek99 recommends. My only concern is whether they would make me feel ham-fisted...

My 2 cents.... I have ridden into L.A. to spend the weekend and hit town at rush hour on Friday afternoon. As Puppychow says, No bueno. Lane splitting is a benefit, but traffic can be so slow and thick that it is very fatiguing. But I would agree with those above that you should just get on...

Thank you, Ig. As a native Los Angelino (Palos Verdes Estates), I agree that Los Angeles is a "wonderful place" having many and varied treasures. It is much more than a congested freeway and does not deserve to be categorically dismissed out of hand. (When I have more time I will chime in on...
