Lane Splitting Traffic on my Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe in Los Angeles

[@jhashmi2011]

Love the bike. My No. 1 harley including color. Spot on. looking forward to more videos.

[@TryItWithTim]

Appreciate it brotha!

[@DOHCtor]

One of the many perks of riding. Bike sounds mean!

[@TryItWithTim]

Indeed, thank you!

[@isaace4854]

Sounds good! Don’t forget to rev to give people heads up way in front to move

[@TryItWithTim]

Lol oh yea definitely gotta rev bomb em every now and then

[@christinakritch478]

Nice bike! Something soothing about listening to her hum.

[@FalconMe]

At 24:30 looks like your brakes locked up as you got a little spicy. Does this bike not have abs? How to you feel about the bikes emergency braking performance?

[@TryItWithTim]

Haha I still remember when that happened. Yea man no ABS you really have to be smooth and defensive when riding this thing. You don’t want to have to emergency brake.

[@FalconMe]

Thanks for the response. Being able to emergency brake is not desired, but definitely an option id like to have. You feel your lowrider would be able to emergency brake better? I do a similar commute and am looking into a street bob. Thanks again @@TryItWithTim

[@TryItWithTim]

@@FalconMe The low rider can definitely emergency brake and very confident on it. I would say for everyday commuting you’ll want that ABS. The street bob would be perfect especially for lane splitting.

[@FalconMe]

Thanks for answering my questions. Dont die, I might need you again in the future ;)@@TryItWithTim

What brand beach bars are those? Did you have to change the stock cables and wires?

[@joestreetglider]

What beach bars do you have? Are they wide or narrow beach bar brother

[@davehenrikson5459]

Lane splitting with beach bars SUUUUUUUUCKS. I had them on my Road King and I always felt like I was working overtime to get through traffic. My Road Glide with 10" apes feels super nimble compared to the beach bars. Having said that, nice bike. Get some better scenery for us than the freeway though.

[@TryItWithTim]

Haha it’s definitely more challenging, I also have a low rider s. Check out some of my other videos for scenery

[@davehenrikson5459]

@@TryItWithTim yeah Bro, I've watched all of your videos. I like the content

[@jayowen286]

This comment is about 3yrs too late, but can anyone tell me what model suzuki the guy is riding at 1:46 . Thanks in advance

[@TryItWithTim]

Im thinking a Suzuki GS not sure what CC or year though

[@TryItWithTim]

Suzuki GS 1100

[@heazy87]

I wish people moved like that in utah. we can only "lane filter" at stop lights.

[@TryItWithTim]

Damn, when I was in Arizona it felt so wierd not to be able to filter through traffic and sit there in the heat.

[@heazy87]

@@TryItWithTim ya it's awful

[@deborahf3738]

Right on dude....

[@bryencass8260]

What exhaust are you running? Sounds sic!!

[@TryItWithTim]

These are some fishtails but not sure what make they are

[@Bretbunde]

I rarely split with my beach bars.

[@TryItWithTim]

It’s very difficult! I would ride this bike more if it was easier to split ,I’m thinking of what I should change them to next

[@spencerb8609]

That bike sounds nasty. Be safe brother

[@TryItWithTim]

It really does with those fishtails! I want to put a 2-1 on it though and focus on the performance.

[@bernardlesperance742]

Actually glad lane splitting is not allowed here in Canada. Way too risky.

[@TryItWithTim]

I couldn't imagine getting around LA without being able to filter. Hows the traffic in Canada?

[@bernardlesperance742]

@@TryItWithTim I'm in Toronto, which is rated as one of the worst in the world for traffic !

[@TryItWithTim]

@@bernardlesperance742 dang! Here in LA since it’s legal most people are looking out for bikes and considerate. I honestly feel like filtering can be done safely but it takes time to read traffic and get used to. I try to only filter when it’s slow going and I have escape routes.

[@joestreetglider]

@@bernardlesperance742 😂 people still lane split in TO bro what are you talking about

[@bernardlesperance742]

@@joestreetglider Only a small percentage. The really stupid ones. It's even more dangerous doing so in jurisdictions where it's illegal as car/truck/bus drivers don't expect it and aren't routinely looking out for it. But, hey, you want to do it, be my guest. Just don't go crying foul when you get hit by a vehicle. You'll be the one at fault.

[@brianfeeley6692]

You aren’t smart splitting lanes. You put yourself in danger and other bikers on the road. Not smart

[@TryItWithTim]

Honestly I’m doing it as safe as I can compared to a lot of riders who blow past me
