Wacked a Ninja A co-worker of mine has been running some praises about his bike at work lately. Thing is... its a '86 Ninja 900....He was claiming top speed in the 190's etc. Though I know better I have not contradicted his statements until yesterday with my Z doing the talking. I left work about the same time he did and followed within a carlength or two. When we got up around 70mph (with me holding out 3rd just in case 
I saw him lay into the throttle and lay down on the bike. I nailed it and pulled slowly at first, then came around him really hard around 140 mph. I held it to the floor till around 160mph with him WAY back. 
We talked about it this morning and he was frankly amazed he was passed by a car. lol. Well even though it is an ancient relic of a bike its still a bike kill.

Oh, and Nice Kill!!!
Nothing like hurting the ego of an ill-informed co-worker...

Car just has a few boltons, weldons and boltins. There are definitely alot faster Z's here in Houston. Dont know those guys except for talking to Alex here a couple of times. Im always up for meeting some fellow Ls1/Ls6 drivers though. It was fun to educate a fellow co-worker, hehe. Though what we did on a Fm road in Mexico really wasnt the smartest.
