No racing

Geezzzzz, I feel bad and left out. Everybody out here drives pickups or farm/ranch vehicles
, and racing a combine isn't much fun
Yes it would be nice until you line up and that slammed back ride with load system opens a hood with a twin turbo 6 and nitro and a trailer hitch hooked to the back so he can take your bike home after he hands you your arse cause his daddy just put tengrand worth of motor and go fast goodies in there so he can brag and advertise is business....Man you just never know . Something I learned a long time ago .. There is always someone faster then you and my pink slip aint worth it..All it takes is one missed shift or oil spot and BAM you are walking home ..Ill race for money or Bragging rights.Not for my ride..hmmmm.....odd eh?...and here my oldest daughter is about to turn 15 and get her Florida restricted DL and concerned that she hasn't saved much $$$ for her first cage...and here I was thinking that I'd just head on down to our local "Ricer Night" and pick out the youngest lad with the largest mouth and girlyfriend in tow and offer to race'im for pinks...in front of all his friends...and then "That" would become my oldest daughters new car she can't afford.
and I'm thinking she'd look good in a slammed black civic with a kickazz sound system.
L8R, Bill.
Only time anyone gave me the blip at a red light was when I was on my Ducati Monster. Guy in a brandy-new 350Z, and I thought "You gotta be kidding me." Now, the Monster isn't quick, but it has enough low-end torque to hang with all but the best of them (cars, that is) off the line. After I hit second, he was gone until about 80-85, when I decided that was enough embarrassment, and fast enough for me on that particular road. Of course, he then blew by, and I just laughed to myself.
After reading the above posts, I am reminded of an incident last year. I hardly get challenged, but this is a story of one of the rare times I did.
It was about 7pm, warmed up the bike and pulled out of my housing development on to a local county road (single lane at this point). A small import car comes up on my rear very fast, and I can hear him pushing in the clutch and reving his engine. Well this single lane turns into a double lane in about 2/3's of a mile where there is a stoplight. Whil approaching the light I pull into the right lane, and the orange import car pulls into the left lane. We had just caught a red light and this is a long light. The tinted windows roll down, and I look over and see 2 younger guys slouched back in their seats. The driver made no eye contact with me and he was watching the light and reving his engine.
The passenger finally looked over at me...stared at me for a few seconds and his look of "Im cool cause Im rolling with my buddy in his fast car" turned into a different look - sorta went from Im cool to hmm, what is this guy riding and what is my buddy gonna race. When I seen him look at my bike I think he noticed the Hayabusa Symbol...not sure thought...so I gave the Engine a good 10,000 rpm rev and held it for about 2 seconds. Now Im realizing the light is gona change in about 20 seconds or so, and figgure Im going to have to launch easy because of the dip in the road in the intersection. Well, the passenger elbows the driver who is reving the engine, and his buddy gives a head nod to take a good look at the bike he was gona race (atleast this is what I figgure is going on).
The driver looked at the Busa and decided to stop reving his engine. The light turned green and we both slowly take off....after we crossed the intersection, I pull the clutch in and hit the revs again to say "Bring it"...well the tinted windows roll up, no further challenge, and blinker goes on and the challenging import car decides to take a left and forget about his attempt to race the Busa. Anyhow, I thought it was a little funny how the passenger made the driver aware that this is one challenge a little to big for the little import car with non-stop reving enginge to follow through with.

some idiot was trying to run with me in one of those jap-crap wanna-be race cars, an infinity, i believe it was.
well coming to a little rise i noticed cars stopped, so im on the brakes.
being lower to the ground, he couldnt see over the rise, and kept going. he skidded to a halt, nearly slamming into the cars.
i was lidless that day, so i was able to holler at him "you f-king idiot"!
problem is, some cagers we passed prolly woulda called the cops and said we were racing, thus causing the accident.

Thats some easy action. lolhmmmm.....odd eh?...and here my oldest daughter is about to turn 15 and get her Florida restricted DL and concerned that she hasn't saved much $$$ for her first cage...and here I was thinking that I'd just head on down to our local "Ricer Night" and pick out the youngest lad with the largest mouth and girlyfriend in tow and offer to race'im for pinks...in front of all his friends...and then "That" would become my oldest daughters new car she can't afford.

Naw... Jesus would GIVE it away and live off the donations
HAHAHAHAHA I'm rolling here, dude!!! You know darn welll I stop filming at 140 because the windspeed velocity past 140 is too much to turn back around inGreg, more people would give you a go if you didn't have your track number on the side of your bike. Drivers look over at you and with your leathers and all, you look like you just came off the track! It is intimidating, heck I looked over at you on our last ride and thought, daym I bet that bike is fast, and I ride the same bike. OK if you need to race someone I will come up to Iowa and take you on. I will race you up to 160 mph. At that time you must Quit shooting video and turn around so your facing foreward on your bike though. LOL
This post got full of great stories quick! There WAS this one time the stang with really fat rear tires sort of chased us down, followed us on a few higher speed passes, than passed us as when we slowed down. So I pulled up next to him in the other lane and nodded at him but he waved off, slowed down and turned into the next driveway. Oh well.
Maybe I should be more hooligan. I just assumed more people might want to see if a busa [and rider] is REALLY everything they HEARD it was. happy to oblige if conditions are safe and clear enough

What's awesome is that his wwjd doesn't have anything to do with Jesus......... and the ww ain't for "what would", but rather, "why was"...

I've only been challenged once on my bike and I've had it for two years. The guy was driving a mid 80's vette. We pull up to a stop light and he keeps revving the engine looking over at me. I wasn't gonna race until my wife (she was on the back) tells me I better not punk out. Light goes green, I get a good launch. Next thing I know I'm doing about 130 and I can't even see the guy in the mirrors.
I'm in Tampa aera also. I get these morons trying to mess with me all the time. I mean do they really even think they have a chance...Consider yerself lucky. Here in Tampa I am constantly being challenged by Guys
in Civics whose rims & tires cost more than their car!
And those with the annoying exhaust cans that make their cages sound more like a bike
than my stock Busa
And let us not forget all those retards that drive Ford Mustangs
I mean give me a break, they're driving a car that has a hard time beating Yugos.
So all in all I'd say you've got it lucky not having to deal with all those annoying snots.
Raider out.
It's funny before i took the Busa stickers off the bike no one wanted to play. NOW no one seems to know what kind of bike it is and thay all want to give me a try
