It's legal here, but the bike can be doing a maximum of 30 km/h (about 20 mph), so it's only worth it when the lines of cars are stopped or moving significantly slower than that.

You talk about the risks of 'splitting' or 'filtering' up between the lanes, but in stop-start traffic there are rear-enders due to driver inattention all the time. If I'm going to be between two cars I want them to be side-by-side, stationary with respect to each other in my direction, rather than one stopped in front of me and one doing 60 km/h behind me.

If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony.

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

The first motorcycle with internal combustion ~

In 1885, the Daimler Reitwagen ("riding wagon") or Einspur ("single track") was a motor vehicle made by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, and is widely recognized as the first motorcycle. Daimler is often called "the father of the motorcycle" for this invention. Even when the three steam powered two wheelers that preceded the Reitwagen, the Michaux-Perreaux and Roper of 1867–1869, and the 1884 Copeland, are considered motorcycles, it remains nonetheless the first gasoline internal combustion motorcycle, and the forerunner of all vehicles, land, sea and air, that use its overwhelmingly popular engine type. Drawings from 1884 showed a twist grip belt tensioner, complex steering linkage and used a belt drive. The working model had a simple handlebar and used a pinion gear drive.

My beloved is getting her motorbike license today (fingers crossed), and it got me thinking about riding... How many people here ride motorbikes now? How many have in the past but don't now?

I've had two 750CC, one 1100CC and two 1300CC.  All Honda motorcycles.  

I Stopped riding because I have had 3 back surgeries and decided I didn't want to take the chance of coming off the bike.
