Default First Kill

This morning headed down I-90 to Issaquah, this guy on a blue sport bike starts trying to stir something up by drifting back til he was even with me, then shooting up to about 100 or so, drift back, repeat, drift back, repeat. Now Sunday morning at 8 is not the busiest time on I-90 but I did have my daughter with me, so I was not out looking to play, but after three times this got a little old so the fourth time, I was ready for him, 70 mph in 4th gear, he hit it first, I floored it, and it was over before it started. I let off somewhere north of 130 with him no longer even in my mirrors. I don't know anything about bikes, except that the rider protects the machine from the outside world rather than vice versa like it is supposed to be, and I thought they were pretty quick, but maybe not from a 70 mph roll. I truly expected to get handed my lunch, but at least the fool would go away and leave me alone, I was pretty suprised to have left him as quickly as I did. I think it embarassed him as well, cause even after I slowed back down to 70, he never even came back within 50 yards.

We ran one up to 110 last weekend in Steph's car. He never did get by us, though he stayed close. At the light he gave us the thumbs up

I've killed a bike (Honda, no Ducati), a Beemer and a Vette from a stop light in the middle of the hill. Over the years I can't count the number of cars (oh yeah, forgot about the 03 Stang) I've eaten up off that light - for some reason people next to me at the light want to race *uphill*.
That is where A-6 comes in very handy with no speed limiter


At least you got one kill going just wait until a ricer wants to take you on at a rolling 50mph. Yes, you can laugh your *** off then.
