OK.. a couple more

PTW: Powered Two/Three Wheeler- any motorcyle/scooter/moped/MP3- Common in the UK

Riding Bitch: The passenger on a PTW

Cupcake:  A polite way to say "bitch" when referencing a passenger

Liter bike: any PTW with an engine near 1000cc

Hardly Davidson: The bike the guy hardly rides. When its not in his driveway being polished it's being ridden the two miles to the bar and back, or in a trailer going to a "ride".

As to the lane sharing/filtering/splitting conversation, many people split the two at about 15-20 MPH. If you are sharing the lane below 15 you are filtering as the cage are likely to be coming up to a traffic control/light.  Splitting, IMHO, is when you are sharing a lane with a cage at speeds above 25 MPH.  In California, Lane SHARING is legal if done in a "safe and prudent" manner.  This "safe and prudent" up up the police officer that sees you sharing.  It used to be defined by speed but they took that language out.  Many feel it is a 20/20 rule, when traffic is going less than 20 and you are less than 20 MPH faster than the surrounding cages.
