Default Friday night, and 2 liter bikes.

*if you want the action, scroll halfway down or just read through it all


Friday night,...couldn't find much to do. It had rained earlier...which kinda killed the car show crowd...the chic that invited me over(supersupersupersuper) hot chic.....kinda cancelled....and wanted to TALK to me on the phone all night....instead of meeting up. I wasn't really in the mood to lay in the bed with my dick in my hand on a friday night. My x,..who i'm still seeing(not sure what to call her but,...it works)...was pissed at me...soo...couldn't go there. Stopped at spray junkies house....chilled....went for a ride to look for some races by myself.


Get out to a spot...as soon as I pull up, johnny law had pulled up 2 seconds before I did...lights came on....100 cars(from what I saw, all rice)(probably 10 domestics, that I am guessing at since there where so many cars) all pulling out, to where I was gonna pull in. Instead, I left,...20 cars engulf mine,...we're all cruising to another spot. The whole time,..people in other cars where trying to get me to get on it and ****.....so I did a few times.. 70mph burnouts I guess look pretty cool from another vehicle I guess. Couple of cars,..little turbo 4 cylinders,..kinda tried me...

A green turbo escort, 2 dudes roll up,..they downshift next to me..... so I downshift to 3rd right away. I look over,..I tell them to go,..as soon as I heard 1cc more air enter that cars tiny little throttle body I was on it. It was nasty,...like they got hooked on a aircraft carriers cable and got pulled to a dead stop. Mile up the street, they pulled up and gave me props. Ofcouse, said they're "other" car would have been a better race. Cool, sure.
Cool guys, non the less.


Soo...then I head towards another highway. My favorite speed highway. . as I am about to merge on,..and, mind you, I am actually doing the speed limit....I look up, on the open highway ahead,..and it's empty,......just empty... it was as tempting to go WOT as it would be if there was a hot female with her legs spread wide open saying "jamie(squish squish) eat me)poof)".... but, for whatever reason,...I did not GO full throttle. Something told me to chill. I looked over my shoulder, saw a couple of cars that where already on the highway, getting ready to pass me while I was still merging on there highway...... they pass. Sure enough, a freaking BLACK UNMARKED STATE TROOPER or someother undercover officer....just puttin along.

Soo glad I didn't get on it. Would have been done for sure for what I was ABOUT to do. That said,..I slowed.....let him get a little ways ahead...when I noticed, two headlights, a pair, coming up behind me. Obviously sportbikes.

The rolled along my drivers side....I downshifted right away, to let them know I was game. They both looked over at me right away,..I noticed the bikes. A red Honda 1000, and a black and silver gixxer 1000. Sweet. *note* Raced and stayed dead even with a honda special edition 1000 not to long ago on less power(i made 580 before but had a bigger pulley, so lets say 560) till about 145mph then shut down,....for the record.

soo...everyone has downshifted...everyone is ready. They're on bikes, soo,..in my mind,..i'm like **** them, let them catch me. I took the jump, I was in 3rd gear, and lemme tell you, if I hook in third at 80 mph, i'm lucky, and when it does, it pulls DIRTY. Bro's,...I got out a car and a half on the gixxer but I could hear him from the moment I went wot. Powershifted 4th at 6100rpm's(a lil shy of the 6400 that I wanted)...still ripped out on him,...however, the gsxr WAS catching me,....and, was passing me I say at a rate of about 2-4mph faster then me. I stayed in it,...his pull stopped at 145 and I lifted,.....cause we where about to go flying right past that friendly looking unmarked car that had just passed me earlier. The two bikes,...kept going. The CBR had passed me right after I lifted.

I tried to watch up ahead, to where the bikes got off.... soo, I followed. I was really AMPED about the race..even though it did pass me,...I felt that I had something for it at, lets say a little more aerodynamic crucial speeds. I followed the two unsuspecting bikes...and cut up with them at a stop sign. Revved a couple of times to let them know I was there,...they looked at eachother,...nodded,...and pulled over. I rolled alongside.....dude on the CBR says right away,....all amped,..."dude that thing is nasty" ....I said thanks man...appreciate it.....I said to buddy on the gixxer that it was a fun race....and he might get me but, I would like to race him again(as in right now).... I told him the reason why I lifted was cause we were gonna buzz an unmarked car...they both laughed and said **** that thing. lol... easier said then done in a car,..... ya know. If I was on a bike, it would have been different. Anyways...they both where on there way somewhere,..cool dudes, probably 20 somethings.....seemed to know how to ride to two liter bikes.

Soo.. thats it,...guess you can call it a CBR 1000 win,..and a gixxer 1000 loss. I did take the hit but, only for a split second,...the boys where ready for me as well. BUt, lemme tell you, it felt good to be next to a liter bike, from a roll, and straight up GANK them both for more then a gear(3rd-4th), stay out in front,...and barely get passed by one at, somewhat LOW speeds(if you wanna call 140low)......felt really good. @ 160, that bike was mine,...170,...I know I would have atleast a car on him.

Anyways, good time, not soo shitty night after all. I'm trying to get a race setup with another 1000, just to get on video,....and see what happens. Also, I do have a race with a 07 GSXR 750 setup already as well. That too, will be on video. Should be good. As always, this story, is complete bullshit, and is merely a figment of my imagination......therefore, never really happened.

Peace out.

Rolling with liter bikes must be insane. As usual, A+ story and a hell of a car you've got. It's good to read your kills again.

not trying to bash you at all man, but those were two of the worst riders ever if they are on a 1000 and cant pull on a 580whp car, my 07 gixxer 600 ran right next to drew up until 150 and that was with him putting down around 750whp, and he is a damn good driver also

I agree I raced a mopar drag car with 600whp with my 04 1k and it was not a race.

No problem,..I hear where your coming from. As I think I said...that was an OLD setup. Here's an update https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/854326-stock-bottom-end-7-psi-600-rwhp.html

...as far as racing bikes...i've raced quite a few.600cc bikes,...again, when I was making 560-580rwhp,...they'd hang with me for half of a gear,....i'd shift, as fast as possible...and i'd start a seemingly never ending pull on them. 5th gear comes around,...and,..your talking 50 + yards and climbing. Not sure how this sounds to you guys, don't mean it to sound arrogant or that i'm making **** up. Just telling you my multiple experiences,...as they happen, how they happen. I consider myself an accomplished sport bike rider, as well as a capable driver behind the wheel of any car. These two guys, on these two bikes....geared down, right after I did. YOu can hear there chains making that high speed whinish noise......you can hear there exhaust.... without a doubt, believe me or not, they where both on the throttle just as soon as I was. And i''m telling you,...I powershifted 4th.....and never saw the CBR,,....other then the mirror but, he was right there,....say ten feet off my left read bumper. The gixer, just passed me after I hit 4th gear. I was maybe around 5900rpm when I shut down,..again,..due to the person that we where about to pass.

As far as liter bikes,..and what they are capable of,..as far as terminal velocity,...i'm sorry but, they have nothing for me on top end. At some point or another, I would have passed the gsxr 1000. Hey may have gotten out front,..and i'd gladly take a loss from something like that but...I really WISH that we could have gotten a chance to see right then and there. It would have been perfect,...numerous lanes,...and no taffic....excep that ONE car.

I wouldn't bullshit you dude,...i've got better things to do.

Ok. Don't doubt it.

But, Y bodies and decent power, seem to win alot of aero races.

around 3100lbs, 600+rwhp, 3.42's...... .29 drag coefficent. Makes a pretty serious rocket.

Ya know what...since I am posting here...might as well tell you ******* about a encounter with a 600cc bike on some day last week....this is for you redc5vette. I was moving, at a pretty good rate of speed...when I noticed a sportbike coming up on me somewhat fast.... soo,..I down shifted....blipped the throttle a couple of times,...which, there is no way he didn't hear me.... then I gased it. Saw his headlights dip up and down on gear selection..... and he just faded farther and farther back.

I was like BYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I then sloooww.... but,..still moving good,...he rolls alongside me....tucked,....it's a black gsxr 600,...he takes his left hand off the grip...reaches over, gives me a thumbs up.....then proceeds to get on it and take off again. He had a 1 car length lead on me.....I was in 4th,..bottom of 4th,....I go WOT......and, I am running him down very nicley....as I pulled right back along side of him, still in 4th...I let off...cause we were coming up on traffic.

Fun time no doubt.....another unsuspecting crotchrocket goes down. You see, to me,..all I care about is beating bikes, and exotic's. Thats it. Love racing any kind of car, jet plane, or bike but,...the bikes, and supercars are my foor of choice.
