I don't provoke anyone to race but they wanna race me, even pickups etc.


I may or may not know that my R1 can hit 95+mph in first gear.


I get a few challenges when I ride my 1996 Speed Triple. It kind of stands out in Fireball Orange with a Sebring 3 into 1 "Off Road" pipe. I usually ignore them.

C'mon, sometimes you have to leave them in a cloud of tire smoke and screaming exhaust.

Just my luck, there would be a cop nearby to write me a ticket...

Scaredy cat.

That's about as childish as the people who want to race...

About three years ago, I had the reverse happen. A guy in an F-150 wanted to race the G37. I just laughed. The G37 would have slaughtered my old Lightning, let alone the overweight 4x4 this guy was driving.

It looks fast, but isn't.


Second, or a naturally aspirated third gen, I take it?

Second gen, 1984, bone stock.
