Season Opener - 600R This season has gotten off to a really slow start. A lot of maybe's (the new dodge, lotus elise, new camaro), a few folks messing around, but no real takers until today.
A crotch-rocket was doing the squid thing in some traffic behind me on 295. He slowed down behind me in the adjacent lane and stayed put for a second. I heard him downshift for his 15,000 rpm pass and knew I had found my season opener.
I was doing 75 with plenty of open real estate. I clicked the traction control button, dropped it into 4th, smashed the gas. I caught him at the door panel and proceeded to walk him. I braked at the top of 4th (about 130) and he flew by a second or so later. Pretty sure I had more than a couple cars on him. He stayed in it and disappeared over the next hill at some nutty speed. I didn't see him again.
I think it was a 600R, but it is tough to tell when they do the fly-by.

Great kill, man. I've heard that car is a monster and remember seeing it down at the dyno in Meriden. With that kind of power it sounds right to me. Next time you're lookin to have some fun in this area let me know and I'll bring my 600 out. We can get some video of you rompin on me to throw up for everyone's entertainment.

The look on ones face is so funny. I had a c6 z06 and a friend was riding with me when I raced a cbr600 we were at a light and the bike took off my friend asked if I could catch him all I said was I'll try. I pulled up next to him and he took off again. I grabed second amd the race was on. By the top off thrid I was about a car in front. At the next stop light my friend said the guys eyes were as big as baseballs. He still tells the story to everyone.
