    Default Should I Feel Bad?

    OK, so I was rolling along minding my own business today when I had a BMW 3 series want to tangle with me.

    Why...

    Instant memories of all the times folks in bimmers have messed with me while driving slow cars in the past... Payback time. I dunno what he was thinking.

    Should I feel bad for taking him up on his offer and leaving him...predictably...in the dust at each stoplight? Yes, it was cruel, but in a fun way... and only up to the speed limit (though he insisted on (eventually) passing, driving at least 70 in a 55...) Messing around is bad enough, but I'm not going to exceed speed limits. 15 over gets the bike impounded.

    On another note... the Busa has become my daily commuter since losing my military career. I was fortunate to have found a new job, but can't afford to fill the truck up each week... so put about 30 miles on the Busa to/from work each day, plus grabbing groceries as able, going to church, etc. It is nice to have found a pleasant level of confidence with the bike, to have survived numerous evasive maneuvers, and numerous rides in the rain. Not sure I could ever go back to a smaller bike, as this one feels quite stable and secure under every riding condition I've encountered. Been a nice time... and I never thought I'd be riding a motorcycle DAILY. Cost savings for not having to buy 15 gallons of diesel once a week... considerable.

    feel bad? i thought you were gonna say he wrecked trying to keep up or something. in my area theres a lot of muscle cars young and old, cars and drivers, that make a couple minor mods like a cat back or maybe a new map and think they can get bikes because the car feels quick/fast to them. so he wanted it you gave it to him....hes probably online now trying to order a turbo or somethin lol. now u and this speed limit thing....

    &#3@ him! The last DB in a BMW M3 found out how a roll on at 140 with a Hayabusa played out...

    Why even waste your time with any car under 600HP? Is it worth being busted for? Kinda like a 16yr old bullying a 12 yr old around.
    I think we all get idiots that want to race with a busa with something out of there league.

    Kinda surprised since you in FL you do know they will take your license for 1 year the first time. Second time with in 5 years and loose your license for 2 years they go for forfeiture of the vehicle and try to lock you up for a year..... Yea!! I'll pass best to leave the chip on the shoulder at home on your way out to mount your steed...


    Congrats on the kill though
