I dont know why everyone with an american car thinks they can beat a bike(no this isnt a kill story). im commin home from work stop at a light and a new gto pulls up i look over and this guy rolls down his window im expectin him to say hey do a wheelie or sumthin no no he said something much much much much more stupid hes all like nice bike... I bet i could beat it though at this point i start laughing i take off my helmet so i can talk to this asshat so he can hear me I tell him what makes you think that and the moron points to his hood and says "400 horsepower baby" i loose it laughing he gets pissed what makes you think you can beat me i tell him lets see the fact that this thing runs low 10's stock, theres this little thing called power to weight ratio oh and they dont call them crotch ROCKETS for nothing you dumbass put on my helmet and proceed to turn. I hate human stupidity

 

That's about the same reaction I get from rice rockets.

Props to you for not giving in to handing him his ***.

 

lol.

for actually going the other way

 

way to put him in his place. I get losers in all types of cars always trying to race. Only once have I pulled away, but that's because the asshat was behind me and was stomping on the gas getting right on my *** and then slowing back and continued to do that - and since it was a one lane road - i just gave myself some distance and pulled off at the next light.

I never understood how people are so naive

 

Agreed.

I like seeing what kind of cars want to "go" with me.

So far it's been a few 350z's, a Biturbo Quattro S4, and my friends STi, but yeah, I think it's funny.

 

to you,

I have a problem with resisting the urge. I would have raced him lol omfg! "400hp baby" thats a good one, im gonna go and tell everyone about this, oh i love it! one more time "400hp baby" F***en tard! i hate stupid people...

 

yeah no ****... I was getting off the freeway making a right hand turn. I am stopped at a light and a guy in a older mach 1 is telling me he takes bikes out for a living. I smile and give him a thumbs up and proceed thru the light as its green. We come up to another light and he says lets go for it...I look at him and say no thanks to many cops in the area... He starts reving and I look at him and nod my head... The light turns green and he blows thru it sounding like his automatic car is gonna stay in first gear forever... As hes going a suburban is making a right turn going the same way we are and he cuts her off... I get next to the suburban. and It was my mom he cut off... She was driving my truck... That ******* almost hit my mom... I should of caught up to him and taken his plates down... weird **** man... If I would of went for it, my mom would of saw me racing and would of stomped a mudhole in my ***...

Cocky Drivers suck ***!

 

You know what I do... take a right turn!

It will take you all of another 30 sec's to get where your going, and it really does keep you out of the elements.

This thread should not be limited to caged people...I turn right more for motorcyclists than folks in automobiles

I hate punctuation and grammar

 

You should've pointed to the tank and said, "390 pounds."

 

I only raced a car once, guy had a late model Cobra mustang. We were at a light and he kept reving the engine I ignored him. Got to the next light and he moved over to the right some, I was behind him and he reved up again a few times, I was ignoring him again but finally I shook my head and said let's go. Needless to say I passed him before he got throught the intersection. At the next light he pulled up and I said u must've thought I was on a slow *** 600 and told him the only thing I've lost to is a Busa and that was from a 70 mph roll.

My bike was bone stock then, it wouldn't make sense to race a car the way it is now unless they would be stupid enough to bet money.

me too

 

All the ricers in my old town revved on me all the time and one of them rode my *** through town. I proceeded to turn down a back road, rip down up to 60 mph and then turned down another road to lose him and get home. I just about punched him in the face next time I saw him.
I think it was Road & Track just did a really good article in their "Speed" magazine where the put Doug Chandler and his ZX-10R up against XS Engineering's R34 and a stock ZX-6R against the C6 Corvette. It's a good read, check it out if you get the chance.

EDIT: Just saw Scarey's post. Just kidding.

 

Most of the car drivers who rev on bikes don't want to really race, they just want to see the bike do something cool. Someone tried to race me in the parking lot of Tyson's the other day so I showed him really quickly that it wasn't a fair fight. They usually just want to see you flash your capabilities a bit.

 

No street challenge is worth the high likelyhood of an accident & probably your death. Let em' think their the king of all that's fast & cool. REAL badasses have nothin' ta' prove & travel in stealth. There's an idiot born every second & there always will be. Props to you for letting it go.

So True, I just might add that to my sig.

 

when i run into those guys at a light, i rev like im going to do something only to take off really easy.

i usually ignore them

f*ck'em

 

if i ever get a bike i wont be racing... i want to get a cbr600 something with a moderate amount of power but nothing too insane that ill be tempted to go crazy with.

Ive seen too many terrible bike accident pictures, that my dad has showed me to detur me form wanting one.

And i just recently attended one of my good friends funerals, who was the latest of 6 of my friends that have died in the last 4 yrs.

Ive been through too much to be that careless.

 

I try to refrain from stupidity when on half the wheels as usual.

...meaning half the wheels as (usual) = a car
or
(usual) = a bike and your ripping a wheelie.

....yes

lol

 

One thing I do when next to one of these guys at a light is just wait like 2-3 seconds after the light turns green, and take off really slow.

 

That guy def. sounds like an idiot.

on a side note, a friend of mine takes his 69' camaro out on occasion and runs bikes, then again, it runs 9.90's on 10" tires w/o the bottle...haha.

 

that doesnt sound very street legal....


but then again... i dont think he cares.

 

Cars and bikes should almost never be racing. Especially not on public streets. Ick.
