Well my buddy called me up and we set out to meet at 1 am at the local burger joint. It was about 2 am when we began to plan these runs. We went to a country that I had picked out earlier, we just cruised down the street scoping out a good stretch to run. We found it. There was a car with us containing 3 friends and we had them park on the side of the road so they can watch and potentially warn us. Mind you these are the same people that viewed the last Duel we had. I may not be very specific about details because when I race, I focus on road more than anything, and barely the tachometer and thats it. Tunnel vision. But you'll get the idea. BTW It is only during the last race that I told them what I had done to the bike since the last race. 16/42 gearing.
Here is the DUEL we had before: http://www.suzukihayabusa.org/forum/index.php?topic=75731.0;all
Stats are as follows:
Zx10R=
Arata exhaust system
Power commander and map
K&N filter
Rider- 150lbs
Busa=
Airbox mod
TRE
16/42 Gearing
Rider- 204lbs
*All races I get the hit since I am at a weight disadvantage.
Race one: I chose to get the hit and wanted to run from 55mph. Anything lower I would be airborn. We both are in first gear. We I hit it and jump out, came up in a wheelie and came down on the limiter and layed in it causing him to pass me while I am in 3rd gear so I got out of it early to retry. That first race always gets me on the limiter.
Race two: Same speed as the first race. I jump out, shift correctly through gears, dude is still behind, somewhere in 4th he walks in front about 2 lengths then I shut it down. That was a close as race! Came back to the friends in the car and there were impressed how it was soooo close and how loud our bikes were.
Race three: We were heading to a gas station so that we could talk about the races. But while we where still on country road he got infron of me and started shifting down, I knew what time it was! I got in 2nd we were both ready and I jump out real good and I held him there, he said he nudge the limiter in 2nd but got in 3rd real good and I couln't be shook!
Well we got to the gas station and there we talked and one of the guys from the car asked what I had because another guy said it sounded like my bike was supercharged. They heard something winding. But had to rule out turbo because I still had stock pipes. Thought I had a badass air filter, but then a guy caught on that I had new sprockets, lol. Boy where they surprised how with just sprockets put me about even with him in the races. Because before it was freaking POINTLESS to race this boy it was rediculous lol. I gave up the ghost and told him I was getting ___ next week and was saving the race for that. But just like I told him, even with my weight and everything else, If I added the TIforce full race and tune, he wouldn't beat me and thats the truth!
He wanted to do it one more time but from 2nd gear at 60mph so you know what that means...
Race four: Pure straight away with 1 cross street but very visible seeing as its beside the gas station where it is there our friends watched. We hit it from 2nd gear and I jumped out held him there till 4th he got 3 bikes out, I decided stay in it instead of shutting it down and I began closing the gap to about 2 1/2 bikes when he shut it down. We stopped He said he was going to let out but saw my headlight right there so he stayed in it. I told him I was makeing up ground and comming up on him in top end.
So there you have it. Just the gearing did that much. Had I have got the exhaust he would not be out in front at all. But I will have 40 more horses to the wheel next time we run and he knows it. It was some very good races.
