Dude?? you can't even remotely run with that bike..Even with his pretty greendress on he'll blow you away. And you won't have a chance in the handling.
Monk, next time you see him, tell him to get a trailer hitch on that thing. Hook both of you up to 500 lb trailers, then do the qtr mile and see who laughs!
(disclaimer: I got no problems with sport bikes or their owners, it's the respective person's attitude that baffles me)

So I pull up the my local coffee shop/food place to do some work on the computer. I get of my Hog, walkin' towards the door when this little New Yorker, who can't stop ajusting his hair, says "Wanna Race?" ...
Had it been been me this is where the story would've ended - I would've looked him up and down, suppress the inevitable giggle and given him directions to the nearest Toys 'r Us where he's got plenty of opportunity to play with his Transformer buddies. Then again, this whole "racing thing" is lost on me anyway ...
So I pull up the my local coffee shop/food place to do some work on the computer. I get of my Hog, walkin' towards the door when this little New Yorker, who can't stop ajusting his hair, says "Wanna Race?", well I know he's just being friendly, so I inquire about what he rides... e&.
Turns out he's waiting for his "friend" (when the old lady showed up, I think it turned out to be his mom) to pick him up to go pick up his 2005 ZX-10 Ninja. He's telling me about how it puts out 150 hp, yaddaa yadda yaddaa.[:@]
I sit down to do my work.... he's still talking to me [:'(] Won't stop! Showing me his new Neon Green Leathers that match his bike! I was about to crack!
WTF!
I know I'll see him again, small town and all. In his little green elf suit! What I wouldn't give to have a Harley that could toast his little ZX-10... people rag on me all the time on this sight for wanting a fast Harley! This is why!...
(think I should race him? I figure if the distance is short enough I can take him, you know, the first 50 feet or so [])
Herr,
WHO'Sbustin on ya about wanting a fast HD........***** em......they aren't you......do what ya want BUT don't try racing the ZX10
Hey wait a minute....maybe its a good time to try while he's not used to it.........he loops it on the start....you spank his ***.....and its all good
