I saw that video earlier today. I don't think lane splitting is legal in Texas, not sure. But I'm patient in traffic. I've got enough problems dealing with other drivers without making it much worse with lane splitting.

No. Lane splitting and filtering are illegal in Texas.

They are bad in my area. I give them the finger when they blow by me. They don't get the bikers wave from me.

No joke Wombat. Some of those rockets go screaming down the median or between cars. My favorite is when they're doing wheelies down the highway, speeding. Do you remember bike nights in Garland on Thursdays? Hundreds of bikes, mostly rockets, take over a Sonic and then take over Interstate 635.

Though, I have seen some plenty of other bike types go flying down the median or shoulder to skip traffic.

I don't ride on freeways in heavy traffic, but on a major freeway here in rush hour traffic it can be stop and go for an hour or more. For me the temptation, legal or not, to pass on the lane stripe would be a temptation to hard to resist. And how is a patrol car going to follow you?

He himself may not be able to, but try to outrun a radio signal. If he/she catches a good glimpse of you (bike, tags, attire) someone else will be waiting for you further up the road.
