I have checked it out, like I said.
California has not released any motorcyclist death statistics, since 2019. If they wanted to prove the numbers went down they could easily do that. Yet they won't release the numbers specifically only for motorcycles? All vehicle related deaths went up in California through 2021. 😑
Here the wiki page about lane splitting and the research across different countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_splitting
No thanks. I don't believe it safer and obviously I am well aware of the topic.

No! I refuse to support this and think it's awful and unsafe. No reason I should be able to drive between cars just because there is lots of traffic.
I have several buddies that really want this to happen and have tried extremely hard to get me to agree, but I don't. I'll just wait in traffic like everyone else. It's a fun but dangerous hobby.

Motorcycles only comprise 3% of the road users in Washington State, but accounted for 15% of all fatalities and 19% of serious injuries in collisions between 2013 and 2017. About 1 in 5 motorcycle collisions result in serious injury or death and on average 75 riders die every year in collisions on Washington roads.

Have a friend with AAA that is willing to go with you. Some plans allow you to tow it where you want.
I used to have the RV/motorcycle plan which was pretty spendy and all my friends and family called me for free tows. I no longer have AAA 🙂
