ran across an 04 r1 tonight.... went riding around for a while before we ventured out to some deserted road.
I pulled up beside him. We were doing about 80mph
He pins the throttle and I also pin it. I look down and realize I'm in 1 gear to high. tach say 4800 rpm or so. Dangit.
so instead of backing out I just kept on it. He instantly pulled about a bike length on me. But as soon as I reached 7k I started reeling him in and passed him and kept on it till about 170 and backed out only to see him about 6 bike lengths behind.
I think if I woulda been on the ball and had it a gear down I would pulled him from the start.
