I've beaten a couple Vrods, a Ducati monster, and a few sportbikes that should have beat me but I think my experience was the deciding factor with those
does it seem to be that harley guys take it the worst?
losing that is.
Nothing like smoking a "Jap Killer Harley". One that bought all kinds of stuff that won't help an engine that tachs at 5k. Then telling the horrified owner your engine is stock.Couple years back we were deciding which bar to go to next and the guy with the tricked out H.D. Dyna Screaming Eagle was chiding me a bit about how fast that jap cruiser was . His was the fastest H.D. of the group of about 6 H.D.s & me hanging out together. I told him to let his loose on the uphill on- ramp to I-20 East and hold it as long as he wanted. I gave him about 5 lengths head start in second gear before dropping the hammer on the blue '90 cruiser . Took me about 6 seconds to drop him . Went by him at about 135 and he was a speck in the mirror in about another 10 seconds. Met up at the next bar and he has a big grin on his face. " How much did you say that max cost you to make it run that way ? " I think he had about $ 32 K in his with extra chrome, wheels , etc. At the time I hadn't had it very long & only had stage 7 and a kerker 4-1 pipe that came with the purchase price of $ 5 K . I could see his head spinning with the thought of having a second bike for playing around , a jap cruiser . :rofl_200:
I beat a guy on a newer 1200 Sportster a couple of weeks back. It was just a sprint to a merge of two lanes, and after I cleaned his clock, he passed across the double yellow, flipping me off. Total tool, like most Hardly riders-especially Sportster riders, since even other Hardly riders think of them as *******.
Still a bit behind ya, 21 on Dec 31st. :th_wine:
Im younger than both of ya, not turning 21 until May!!!
A sprint ST 955, pulled him about 3 lenghts out of the hole and maintained that lead to about 120. He was pretty happy his bike was that close.
An 106" ss in a Titon. this was not even close. Both these were friends. Lost to my buddies FJR everytime. Lined up with the FJR, FZ1, and a R1, at the 149 light in Tomball. The vmax pulled all from he line at about 30 the FJR starts pulling past me, at about 70 the R1 flew buy us both at what must have been 100. It looked like we were sitting still. The FZ1 must have had wheelie issues. My buddy Sam and I traded bikes a couple of years ago in Bandera on a hill country rally. He let me ride his VTX1300, man i had a hole new respect for Sam's riding ability, nothing easy about that bike. As I looked ahead, Sam on the max, he was living in the left lane passing cars at will, this was truely a reformed rider. Later he commented, now he knew it was the bike and not my riding skills. With in weeks Sam bought a k1200s 160 hp bmw's. I still beat him the frist couple of races and then he found WOT. That was it, the vmax was dusted.
I absolutely DESTROYED a Cushman scooter yesterday!! Of course, it was an elderly pre-war model, smoking and dripping lots of oil. Think if he'd had it tuned a little better it may have been a different story but....a kill's a kill....right? unk:
