Sounds like he was ******** screwing with a Harley. Most sportbike riders have no idea why we like to ride big twins and there really isn't much we can do about it. Although I did get a chance to race an older 600cc Suzuki Kantana through the quarter mile and embarrasses the hell out of him.
A buddy of mine had a young sportbike riding coworker ride with us one day and he was telling me how he had his smog stuff taken off and it was really fast. I asked him if it was as fast as a Harley and the race was on. We went to a secluded mile long straight-away, he let me hit it first and I just kept banging gears until I was in fifth and finally let off the gas. It took a moment before he went by me and was so pissed he could hardly talk. He wanted to go again but I told that was all I needed to see and rode back to town.
I know there are some on here that might not believe that I could beat him, but a 600 Kanata isn't a super fast sportbike and my bike is no where near stock. H-D riders do get their moments too.

Harley envy. It has been my experience that for whatever reason Jap bike riders always feel they have something to prove to Harley riders. They're just jealous cause deep down they know Harleys are the big boy on the block and their little plastic rice burner is crap.

What scares me a little is that many of the so called 'super' bikes I grew up on thirty years ago would have a hard time keeping up with my big fat Softail Custom.
The straight off the showroom floor bikes these kids get to play with are far more powerful and a hell of a lot quicker than most, if not all of the full blown race bikes of as little as 10 to 15 years ago.
They are playing with a thinly disguised, and sometimes lethal combination of lots of power, lots of testosterone, an innate feeling of invulnerability and not enough experience or brains to recognize the fact.

He's just try to shake off a turd. I watched a kid ,little skinny light *** ride'n in front of me on his 600 rocket and he spots a v=twin rider waiting to get in traffic ,the kid leans over the handel bars and rev's er up and smokes the tire and we are run'n about 40 and he's just be'n stupid . Thats when i see this rear tire has no center ,not just bald but flat. Thats his thang. Wear'n a beany shorts ,t-shirt and tennis shoes.Turd. You just got to watch out for um and don't get caught in there wreck when it happens.
