Default Bike does wheelie from a dig. I'm right behind him in the next lane the whole time.

Not a kill. Just plain ol' fun.

Coming home from work right now, I pull behind a bike (looked to be a 600) at a light after he threw me a few revs.

As the light turns green, he hits it, pulls up on one wheel, and I hit it also, pulling just behind him in the next lane.

So, from 0 to 60 mph, oncoming traffic (6 lane) watched a bike on one wheel with an SS going all out just behind/next to him, going dead even down the road at a brisk rate of travel.

We let off, he looked over and seemed a little surprised to find me right there I threw a huge thumbs up and we split away on our own directions.

Nothing huge, but given my serious lack of action on the roads lately, it made my day.

Nice run Southie! Sounds like an adrenaline rush. Though, if it was me, I would stomped that bike into the ground. umm... if the guy turned the engine off and stuck pedals on his bike...

Got it from posting in the 11sec. club forum (see forum rules).

Very nice. Like you said, I'm sure the guy on the bikes face was PRICELESS.

I messed with a bike the other night...it was late and night and I was wanting to get one it anyways. He just happened to be in front of me...so I punch it and he goes. Of course he pulled away from me but up to about 100 or so it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

We both exited the interstate and I was behind him at the light...as soon as it turned green he goes hard and I followed. I could hear him feathering the throttle so I know he was just messin with me, but we got up to about 90 or so. It was pretty cool to even have the illusion of hanging with a crotch rocket up to 90 or so...

One of my friends did that on his Hawk and almost lost. LOL He decided he could take me (we were just messing around) while riding a wheelie from a 45mph roll on. If he hadnt set the wheel down in time I would have beat him in front of his friends!! LMAO. Unfortunately once the wheel sat down he rolled right past.

So I got a cam and headers..should make him work a lil harder now.
