I don't give a rats *** what your kid had last year, why should I. I recounted a story, If you don't like don't read it. If you want to talk about it fine, but get the facts straight. NOWHERE did I say I could "hang with it".
Whew,,,caught you at the wrong time of month......take a couple of midol and chill.....you'll feel better in a week.......and if you don't....who gives a rats ***.

My apologies to any ladies reading this.

I have a story similar to this. i was riding From Laughlin on my sportbike with a group of friends. We were in those corners just as you leave Laughlin. An Electra Glide comes blowing pass us in the corners. My pride was a little hurt by this because we were know for hitting the corners. As I pull my throttle back to catch this guy I start to think, "there are always cops sitting around these corners so I think I will let him have this one." That guy coulda went home and told a similiar story. I was on a Honda CBR1000. He won that one because I bitched up because of the cops........I'm just saying.

Alright....let the brutal comments come....LOL.

No brutal comments here-actually a smart move. Just cause you can smoke someone doesn't mean you should.
I run a 9 Second FXR as my daily driver on the street and used to street race for money. Have taken out quite a few sportbikes at stop lights and at the track over the years and if I have learned anything it is don't mess with a healthy sportbike on the freeway. I have absolutely no chance on an open freeway with them and have learned my lesson. The torque/horsepower/rider/chassis set up advantage leaving from a fixed point is absolutely negated on an open road when a sportbikes weight, rpm, and horsepower take over.
Have guys blow by me on the street all the time now. Usually not worth the ticket, possible crash or the broken parts to me. My last street race was several months ago on the street minding my own business against a Gixer who kept taunting me-and even though I left him at a light, I was prob. going 90 in a 35 zone and almost went airborne going thru the next intersection and thank GOD it was green cause' I could not have stopped.
Just let em' go by...and laugh to yourself knowing you could smoke em' if you wanted to.

I'm assuming your FXR has twin turbos and nitrous??? if not you need to share what you're smoking with the rest of us. If you're running 9'S in a 1/4 mile you can hand even a stock Busa it's walking papers. Personally I'm not buying it.
