I was unprepared for this during my 1st trip to the UK. 1st day out and in Yorkshire when the 1st motorcycles split lanes around me. Once I figured it out, no issue. Just another part of being on the wrong side of the car on the wrong side of the road.

I HEAR that M8!
My Dad and two uncles (his brothers) all passed at 74 and 75 years.
I sure hope I break their records as I am already well on the way to 71 and . . .
I AIN'T near done yet!

Hey M8,
From your driver perspective you ARE driving on the left (wrong) side, NOT the "right" or correct side!
My first experience with lane splitting was in 2004 on my brand new V2K. I shall ALWAYS remember the incident!
I was riding on I-5 caught in 5 or 6 lanes of freeway, stopped and go traffic coming into San Fernando, heading south through LA.
I was in the lane next to the far left stopped, when two sport bikes came zooming by on my right and about 40 mph. I thought, "stupid squids". A minute or two later another sportie zoomed by = same thoughts. Then a darn ape hanging HD, with a grimy patched Hells Angel riding, rode by at about 30 mph. At this point I said to myself, "Screw that crap! If a stinkin' hog can, I can do better!" So I pulled out to my right and took off after that HD. Twas a quick learning experience and I took to it like a duck to water. About three miles later I greased that HD - respectfully of course!
I gained an instant love for lane splitting and learned about the scientific justification later.
