Default RACED my first BIKE!

Had no idea what it was,(im sure it wasnt a scooter lol) i saw him commin from behind me fast so i punched it and it was dead even till about 120 and he slowly pulled on me to about my front fender. it was an adrenaline packed race for me. i never thought i could hang with a bike. and that bastard was loud too!

that is all, just wanted to share

I realize it. Since I own an 07 R1. 0-60 in 2.9 in route to the 1/4 mile in 9.94 @ 145 mph, all the way to 177 mph. All stock. Check out Cycle World magazine, August 2007.

I have gone around LS1's with at least exhaust at full accelaration from a car or 2 behind them just to show how futile their attempt was The guy on the bike probably left his bike in 6th and just twisted the throttle a little more after he figured you where tryin to race him....I have done that before
