got killed Driving up I 95 at night when a guy on a crotch rocket pulls next me and wants to play. I know these things are like bullets but I wanted to see what it could do. So I goose it up to about 90 then slow back down. He catches up to me, nails it to about 90 or 100 then slows down. When I catch back up to him we are both doing about 75 and I nail it. This time he keeps pace with me right inside my passenger side window. I get up to about 110 and he's still right there, then he decides to let her have it. Now I knew he would pull away from me, but I was wrong. He didn't just pull away, he tore off and made me think I had actually slowed down. I know he had to hit 150 at least. Needless to say I was impressed, I had no idea they were THAT powerful. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I wish it would have been daytime so I could see what type of bike it was, but night time and tint on the windows, I couldn't make out what it was.
Re: got killed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> oh, well-no shame in losing to a bike. Trouble is that, especially at night, they all tend to look similar - or exactly the same. Sometimes there's no way to tell how tough they are except by racing them. Better luck next time. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: got killed Have an 02 WS6 that is bone stock. Only mod is a K+N air filter. I think exhaust will be the next mod. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
Re: got killed Haven`t had a chance to run a bike yet. I would like to see how I will do against one. But, you still have alot to do to your ride. Get some spray-you will love it!
