I decided to go for a nice cruise in my car tonight just to relieve some stress. Not looking for a race, just burning some gas and enjoying the cool night air. After about a 20 mile loop on the highways around Denver, I was within a few exits from my apartment. I generally drive pretty slow when just putting around in my car and two crotch rockets rolled up next to me. I decided to give them some wastegate to see if they were intersted in a little fun. There was no traffic and 5 lanes wide with no turns in sight...they confirmed the decision with a nod and down shifted. They patiently waited for me to work my car into third (damn tranny) at 65 mph. There was a "stand off" at the start since it seemed we both wanted the other to go first. The rider on the R1 motioned for me to go so I hit it.
They both quickly reacted as I almost instantly built full boost and spun the tires. The R1 passed me almost immediatly with the R6 in tow...but then I caught traction. The R6 was at my front bumper at the 3-4 shift and I quickly passed him gaining quickly on the R1. At the top of 4th the R1 and I were side by side with me having momentum. I hit fifth quickly and pulled a good 2 car lengths before shutting it down.
He stayed right next to me as we slowed down and waited for the R6 who had lost by about 6-7 lengths. He signaled for another round and this time I didn't get the jump, the R6 hit it almost immediatly after catching up so we were immediatly chasing. The race started closer to 70 mph so I hardly broke the tires loose and was immediatly bouncing off the limiter. At the top of 4th I had just passed the R6 with the R1 about a car lenght ahead. I hit fifth and began to pull up next to and pass the R1. No more than half a car length past him I hit the limiter...
. Shot a huge flame out the side exit exhaust...right where he was.After the scare we slowed down and I gave them a thumbs up. We were just approaching my exit so I signaled and they followed me. I pulled over at the King Soopers and we chatted for a while. The R1 was bone stock, the R6 had minor bolt ons. The guy on the R1 said all he could hear was my car next to him and he nearly shat himself when I hit the limiter and blew a three foot flame at him. We shook hands and went on our way.
*NOTE FOR THE HATERS* This is all taking place at Denver elevations where an N/A vehicle will lose 25-30% of their power compaired to maybe 15% for me. I trapped 119 mph on street tires...most of the bikes at the track I saw were modded and only trapping 113-121...
Sorry for the long post.
Right on booby i should be able to join in on the fun soon...
