This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Think of this as you inch forward until the green light with a motorcycle behind you. Just stop. Riding at 2 mph is misery.

Get a lighter bike, mate. Scooter goes brrrr! But also, yes. Please god, the misery of traffic jams must stop. Let me lane split!

I got a tenere 700 coming from a rebel 500, both relatively light bikes but the tenere is so tall it's hard to waddle. I'd honestly love a scooter just for commuting and errands.

I live in a state where splitting is illegal but I can get away with filtering at stoplights. :)

I'm mostly joshing ya. My scooter weighs all of 150 wet, but I have a sport tourer that's somewhere around 700. It sucks to maneuver that thing. I wish the feds would do something about lane splitting. Once upon a time they were able to get us on HOV lanes.
