Default Me vs Yamaha...place your bets :-)

i just got off work so i was looking for trouble, and i found it while i was driving down west chester pike in the form of a yamaha motorcycle. I stopped at a stop light and saw him turn onto west chester pike. I think as he was turning he must have saw me cause he did a wheel stand and flew down the road...so naturaly i had to answer back . I pulled up next to him and dropped it into 3rd and stepped on it and he took me so i caught up and did it again this time from second and it was the other way around . We hit a stop light and i told him he had a sweet bike and he said "damn man that thing is pretty fast...what u have in it" so i told him and we BS'ed at the light for another couple sec then went on are way. I know he had aftermarket exhaust on it from the way it sounded. That race was awesome best one i ever had. My adrenaline was pumping so fast i pulled into the gas station where my buddy works and was yelling at him that i raced a bike lol...then he told me calm down and shut up lol . Now all i need to do is fix all my exhaust leaks, upgrade the fuel system, new valve springs, boost controller and crank it to 7-8psi and have it LS1 EDIT dyno tuned. Then it will be a beast well just thought i would share

Awesome man! Bikes are slow . How much did the STS run you? Can you PM me your thoughs on it and how much? I'd really appreciate it.

Good kill.

Nice kill! I am always up around west chester on the weekends, one of my best friends goes to school up there. Last weekend I was driving around and saw a ton of F-bodys at a fast food place, I think it was wendys? Do you ever hang out up there? I'd love to see your car! I want to get a turbo set up on my car, Im leaning towards a custom QMP kit, but I dont have the money for it, a STS kit would be much more affordable, but I still have my doubts on the kit driving it everyday, maybe seeing your car could change my mind.

Good Kill ! i'm guessing it was a yzf600 or an R6 maybe? Just watch out for those R1's.

I second the yzf600.. Possibly a better bike with a worse driver.

Nice Kill,
Josh
