[skreemer]

whoever it was definitely heard me yelling at them. Thank God for the MSF course... I kept my head and swerved dropped two gears and punched it ahead of the moron. during the swerve manuever though I let my anger get the better of and yelled at the top of my lungs right into his window, "HEY, What the HELL do you think you're doing!!??"

As a general habit, I dont ride past entrances/merge ramps onto the freeway in the right lane if on a bike.

I would have kinda expected it if I was anywhere else... but I was in the middle lane. The next exit was 4 or 5 miles down the road, and the last exit was 7 or 8 miles behind us. It wasn't a merge lane or anything like that. he just decided the car in front of him in the fast lane was going too slow.

I always had fun letting the cager get the jump. I'd let him get just passed my front tire and then I'd "remember" to twist throttle a little further.
By the time he thought he'd won, I'd leave his ears ringing as I flew past with the tach at around 6500. :lol: It's always fun to let them think they were going to win.

I think it is shamefull how many of our people race on the street. Why dont you all just grow up???

 

[earlfor]

Well Scotty, I believe that anyone frequenting these forums has established proof of refusal to grow up. However, most do seem to grow out.
I guess that is to be expected when your hobby is sitting. Goldwing riders are the exception. Their hobby is more akin to reclining and dozing.

Yuma, Az. I'm sitting at a light on my 82 1100e, looking longingly at a loooooooong stretch of open desert road ahead of me.

Some kid pulls up behind me in a Camaro, and yells "Get that hunk outta the way, I'm haulin it at the light!"


I was in third by the time he crossed the intersection. He faded back over the horizon eventually. I bet he impressed his girl that day.

That's the way it usually goes for me if I want to take off at a light. I just start from idle, no need to stress the driveline I find. If the car is really trying they'll pull out a car length of so, then I just catapult past like a striped-a$$ed gazelle. I doubt I leave anyone's ears ringing though. The 750 is so quiet they probably think someone is mixing a smoothie in the next lane as I go by.

I also find this to be true, I have never needed to "rev it up" to eat a car I just move of as normal and wind it out a bit.

Earl. I guess you know that i am the worst offender when it comes to street racing. I always think of your poof remark. i love it.
I believe we should have a forum called -cager poofing.

For a really good laugh, wait for one of those hot Civics. Y'know, the ones with the popcorn muffler, chrome wheels and cute spoiler on the trunk. eh eh eh They actually think they can take the 1150.

Earl

That just happened to me the other day. There is an intersection where just after the light the left lane merges into the center lane. Of course people down here always try to get ahead. A young kid in just that kind of car, low to the ground, the bass in the trunk rattling everyones windows. He starts creeping and creeping and reving his engine. He ended up creeping almost into the intersection. THe whole time I'm just sitting there in the center lane LMAO. Of course we all know the result. Light turns green I hit it and am doing 70 by the time I hit 3rd gear, I look back and he's nothing but a distant memory.

I live just a few minutes from there and I was still laughing when I got home. Wife doesn't see the humor though. She say's "You're body is 39 and your mind is still 18." What's wrong with that? :wink: :wink: 8) 8)

Well Dave, I long ago decided there are some things that should not be done with a "grown up" attitude. Living is one of them.

Yeah, next time she says that to you, say "its great isnt it........HEY BABY wanna go out and get in the back seat of the car with me." LOL

last time a cager really though about giving me a hard time it was when some guy in a bmw M3 thought he was a tough guy. Driving close behind me in some turns and stuff, we get to a stop light, some yuppy smuck, sunglass sweater crap just snubing me as i look over at him. so i look away focus on the light wait for it to turn green. he hits it. he thinks he is just going to walk past me in his fancy bmw. so i whack the gas, we are side by side, i turn the gas a little more let the needle touch the red and now i am ahead of him let him know i just beat him and slow down let him blow by so he can sweep for cops.

it feels good to beat some $50,000 car on a little $1000 550, and i didn't even know about powershifting and get the rpms up to 5k for the launch.

despite my mid-30's, I always seem to think of myself as oscillating somewhere between 18-23. Rock on!
