Default got yanked by a C6Z...

so i was on my way to the motocross track yesterday, on my Suzuki bandit 600 (slow as ****) when i roll up behind a blue C6Z with QWIKZ06 on the plate and a middle aged guy behind the wheel.

the light turns green and we head left, under the underpass and onto the freeway.. there are about 4 cars ahead of us.. just in case, i keep it in 3rd, then realize traffic is going to restrict us from getting a good run.

all of a sudden, i hear downshifting and a roar in front of me.. this crazy sumbitch weaves in and out of a few cars and moves out.. i slowly snake my way through traffic and try to line up with him.. i downshift to 3rd (at 55) and wait for it. He hits it and begins to pull me with ease. i take it to 4th, then 5th.. shut down at about 115 with him about 6 cars ahead of me (i started out behind him in the same lane). Considering i trap 105-106, i expected him to pull me alot harder than that.

i catch up with him a little ways down the road and give him the thumbs up as i turn off. he returns the thumbs up with an ear to ear smile.

I knew i didnt have a chance, but it was still fun.

cliff notes- Slow bike gets pulled by a C6Z from a 55 roll.

No, in the 1/4. It is sadly that slow. Refer to my "So I killed a 600" thread. I raced the OP Last week.

^Don't mind me, I'm just waiting for the weather to start getting better so people will start posting about good races again. All the "I ran my mom's Camry against my friend's mom's Accord" threads are making me bitter

That was a ******* death dude Mid 12 sec bike vs...a C6 ZO6. He had no chance from a roll.


Sorry Tyler, but you probably just stroked his already large ego more since a bike couldn't hang with him.
