Let me guess, the guy starts by riding out a wheelie then pulls up along side to give you props.

lemme guess...... you pull him to 140 then shut down. Then you pass a Ford Taurus, switch to the middle lane, then you give him a thumbs up and he does the same. Then he and his buddy do a wheelie and take off while you say "GSXR-1000" to your friend twice. And while this was happening you were listening to some techno music on "Detroit's #1 hit music station". Correct?

i have the strangest feeling this is going to the Harlan video of days past. . .
Is that really Harlan? I got the video off of a file sharing program (big surprise) and it came with no info. Small world, huh?

Wow, some people really have too much time on their hands. Judging by the sentence structure, I'd say this was a 14 year old little boy, who found a video and wanted to be cool.

Nice job.

As I recall, it wasn't a GSXR 1000 in Harlan's vid.

Matt has a Firehawk too, not a TA...SO...maybe this kid is for real!

Yeah right...

-watching the vid again- well, i dont know if this is harlan's vid...but it is the vid everyone is talking about. i dont think it is harlans vid...mainly b/c im sure he wouldnt buy a shiftlight...since he makes his own..anyway, here are some screen shots from the vid, that show the bike. at the end, they def say gixxer 1000 though.

i dont think the vid being talked about here is matt's vid either. you def dont hear any type of bov or anything or the turbo's in general in the vid. and the first couple posts are definately talking about the vid i posted screen shots of.

Harlan's vid did have a gsxr1000 but that wasn't the bike he raced. The yamaha was the one that went.
