Default Whooped a harley wana be!!

Found a guy today with a Harley wana be looking bike with loud exhaust.. We lined them up at about a 20 mph role and nailed it. The bike easily put a few lengths on me out of the hole but I made them up very quickly and passed him up at around 110mph. Now I know some of you are thinking that theres no way a 3600lb car can pull on any bike. He must have got out of it but we both got pulled over by the local PD for street racing so I had a little chance to talk to the guy.. I also thought that he got out of it and thats why I passed him but he assured me that he was giving his bike everything it had and couldn't believe I passed him. While the cop was running our names I called a friend of my thats also a local cop and he got us both off with a warning. Now how cool is that.. Thought for sure I was going to jail.. hehe.. The guy gave me props for whoppen him by saying man that thing was bad *** and it sounds really good. Almost went to jail but had fun doing it.. I told the cop that I know I was wrong for street racing a wouldn't do it again..

A stock LS1 'Vert Auto will destroy a intake/exhaust Harley from a roll from about 60-70mph I know, my friend did it to me.

Harley's aren't that fast. They still have an amazing power:weight ratio as do all bikes which gives them an advantage over most cars out there.
I've seen most Harley's go anywhere from high 14 to mid 13 which is about as fast as they come. With the exception of the V-Rod however, not sure of the times on it. God thats a sexy bike

It's a TC88 (1450cc) like mine. Low 13s IF he launches hard out of the hole. Trap speed of MAYBE 103mph. Probably more like 100mph.
