It was raining like a son of a bitch here for the last week straight. This afternoon the clouds finally went away briefly and I was able to take the bike out for 45 minutes or so. On a sidenote I installed the EBC pads to my Busa Brakes and 6 pot calipers today. HOLY SHIT does this bike stop now!
I was sitting at a light when I hear that familar sound of ANOTHER HD rolling up. The guy is on a newer sportster 1200 and looks over at me and asks how many CC's the max is. I tell him 1200 and he say's "that is one strange looking V-Twin!" I then told him it was actually a 4 cylinder which he was confused about...:ummm:
He then tells me how his 1200 sportster has yet to lose a race and it can beat up on vrods and ANY jap bike you throw at her!:clapping: I then ask if he is gonna hit it and he nods and laughs at the same time. He then asks me what year my bike is and I tell him it's an 85 at which point he looked like someone trying to steal candy from a baby.
The light turns and I decide to be nice and give him the hit. He launches decent but then I unleased the beast and went flying past him like he was standing still! Buslenghts later I slow down and he is so far behind me he looks like a small ant.
He finally catches up and yells over at me that he missed 2nd gear! Then he points forward and just hits it...total cheat move! I throw her down into second and reel him in and spit him out moments later. I then proceeded to go and hit 140mph! And dam did it come quick! The bike was steady all the way and it was just howling! I was tucked in like rossi behind a little bug screen.
I hit the brakes hard and they felt great! Down to 75-80 in no time and I made the next turn...
This is why I bought the max!
