boo fucking hoo
If my bike is to overheat and breakdown then so be it. It's just a bike, bikes can be replaced, you can't. If you're that scared of being rear ended then try braking 30 ft behind the car in front of you and when there's a few cars behind you have come to a complete stop...move your way forward. It's that simple.
Again, we bought bikes on our own free will, you're MORE than aware that there's no AC or cup holders or a lavish seat enclosed by your car with airbags.
We've accepted the risks that go with a motorcycle upon getting a license and if you think splitting here is safe...then go right ahead, but when you get hit don't go crying your eyes out to ICBC or on this forum. If you're splitting you've lost all sympathy from me for your outcome and I'm guessing more than half of the people on the road who witness it wont care either.
