Went for a little spin last night with the wifey...I almost always ride two-up.
End of the night and we are heading to breakfast...I come up on 4 bike heading in my direction...I slow to their speed and they seems to be just cruzin bout 95-100.
So I just get beside them for a sec and ease the throttle to keep goin (remember that I am totally stock with beetle bags and a passenger) past them...then one of the four pops into my vision again....so I wait a second and then twist it.
After about 3~5 seconds pass, one of the bikes gets past me and keeps goin..the rest are trying keep up, but aren't gaining?
At the 150 mark...I get the unmistakable "squeeze" when she thinks we are going fast enough....so I roll out of it and the other bikes go whizzing by...and they all keep going.
We get to the Denny's and guess who's in the parking lot heading in? The same four...lol
So I talk to them a bit...the guy that passed me was piped/tuned honda1000rr....the others were 2 zx9s and a gsxr750...all 2002 and newer.
The three behind me gave kudos for the run...and the squid on the RR seemed to think he spanked me with his skillz....hmm. He couldn't contain himself on his "win" against a Busa.
It just amazes me what mentality is out there today. I supposed there's no "qualifications" to owning a bike...except for the money to pay for it.
boohoo...I got spanked
