Ever Raced a Bike? Not sure if I would qualify this as a race, but...
I was out logging data for my SD tune and thinking it would be fun to race a bike. Not 5 minutes later, I'm getting on the freeway and a bike on the feeder starts popping wheelies and pointing at me (not at the same time mind you). I figured wtf, I was doing 60 in 4th and punched it. Looked to me like the bike pulled half a car on me (hard to tell me being on the freeway and him on the feeder) until I hit 100. At 100 I started to pull on him.
Then as luck would have it, we both started running out of road fast because of traffic.
I have no idea what kind of bike it was. All I can tell you about it was it had a hi-pitched, loud as hell exhaust.

Yea it was when I realized a bone stock $8000 "middle weight" CBR600RR cracks 10.70@130mph that I realized adding heads and Cam to my TA was a waste of money... bought a bike and haven't frowned since!

Props to the bike riders. I don't have the balance for it.
I haven't been to the track yet so I have no idea of what my times will be with the new motor (waiting on the new rear), but it sure feels damn good to run along side a bike and not get your *** handed to you.

.Sorry just picking on ya.
I actually took down a Honda 929RR on the highway with my SS(on the hose of course)
We went from 75 to 140ish about 3 times.
I almost went through a 15 lbs bottle,but it was fun watching the dude get a little frustrated watching my car pull him.
