The cruiser stereotype is a myth?
There sure are a lot of myths riding around!

Question on lane splitting. Do any of you do it on a Connie with those hanging out that far?
Nope.

I added Murph's tipover bars, front and rear.  And then, I added Kuryakin foot pegs sticking out from the front bars for added comfort.

No way am I going to lanesplit in Wisconsin because I'd probably hit a snowplow up here.  :)
