Farking Forester

[250learna]

was going down furgy from work tonite (in upper hutt) and this turbo forester, lowerd loud blow-off valve etc was in front of me. He took off at the lights like he was on a drag strip, i slowly followed, then he slowed down to 40 and just kept it there so when i got close to him i indicated and started overtaking slowly (in 5th gear) got to his window when the fuker drops a few gears and guns it...
ok so he is a moron.... :niceone:
i merged back not even trying to race him and went 59.9kph. caught up to him again as he was back to going 40. this time few taps with the left foot and a twist of the old wrist had me a bit more prepared, sure enough he tried too, but trying and a loud blowoff valve can only get you so far, giving him the finger as i left him in the dust felt so good, I LOVE MY BIKE :love:

[Skunk]

Don't ya just love doing that to car-dicks.

But beware the red mist...

[BABY R]

good on you! :) :)

I would have never allowed it! :no:

Next time, try miming a reaaaaallllllllyyyyy ssssllllloooooooowwwwww yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnn.

us 250 fellas gota pick our gears and b ready, by the time i changed down enuf it be too late n i would have to crack the speed limit substantialy to overtake :doh:

guess its easier for someone on a blackbird tho :not:

Although Nana rather disapproves of such behaviour, she has contemplated copying some of those adds for penis enlargement pills , suitably annotated along the lines of "These will help you and be a lot cheaper". Then tossing one in through his window.

careful... some of them can be quite evil.... like pull right into your lane as you try to pass. They might pull ahead and slam on the brakes.... or just do some plain stupid things....

I have encountered enought of them in my car days...

I usually just stop on the side of the road... and do nothing. they'll get bored and drive off...

[Brian d marge]

A fella I worked with years ago was onthe way to the races at Donnington ,,,On a gsxr 750 i think any way it was an american import and had been worked ..u name it it had ...even the paint...

Well they are sitting in the fast lane cruising and up behind him comes a porche ...flashing his light to make them move into the middle lane

So matey pulls over and leaves it in a low gear and pretends to be on the limit of the bike ...keeps up with the porche ...porche goes fast ,,matey goes faster ...and so on then when matey gets bored ...up a gear or so,,,hand full of throttle ..front wheel in the air ...and bang ...dissapears into the distance .....apparantly the porche slowed right down to the speed limit ......

I wasnt there but he bought the bike into work the next monday and I do know this thing was almost unridable around town ...

I would have loved to see the drivers face .........

on a different note People who drive cars are the same as you and me ...and its sort of obvious that 1000 kg of metal aint going nowhere fast ....but they still try ...why ??
Do they still give away testosterone with every pack of DB???? what is it with these people ...the dangerous side apart its just a right royal pain ......(just move to the left and get over it .......

naaa mate........:no:

I've spoken to quite a few clueless cage drivers and I get a common response..........

What????? It's a bloody 250 ---- a bloody 600 ------ a bloody ----(delete appropriate)

My car is a 2 litre, it;s a turbo, it;s a 5litre (Ford)........

How can a 600cc little bike be faster than a "big, powerful 6litre" Holden???

:wait:

[WINJA]

I LOVE RACING THEM PRETENDING ITS NECK AND NECK THEM PULLING A WHEELSTAND FROM 150 AWAY FROM THEM

[Zed]

On the contrary, there are quite a few 1000kg machines out there that go fast, but of course few of them are to be compared with the power of a worked Gixxer750...back then anyway.

I think there's very few cage drivers who seriously try and outrace fast sportsbikes on the road, half the time they are just baiting us and want to see us take off at speed, they know they are no match...I'm happy to comply!:Punk:

After having ridden a R1 I now know thee once mighty skyline is no where close to the MIGHTY R1.... :killingme

Agree totally. Just ride your own race on the road :killingme

[N4CR]

Hmmm... best one was a GT-25 turbo subaru wagon... they see L plate and decide they want to race me.. rev engine etc (and the female driver laughs at the poor unsuspecting noob) so I start laughing at them.

'ZXR = win' :killingme .....and by a big margin.

It might just be a subaru 'dark crew ghostly riderzzzz' thing mabey.

[StoneChucker]

I love you!!! (err, in a very manly "I'll buy you a beer" kind of way you understand!)

And Zed, I agree totally. Alot of car drivers really enjoy seeing us doing wheelstands, taking off a warp speed and otherwise doing "cool" shit! Only problem, it's our licences and lives on the lines!

But, as Zed said "I'm happy to comply" - sometimes :msn-wink:
The BEST feeling I've had so far, is when you beat them off the lights, but you see them realise it and hang back (quite a bit), then all of a sudden build up speed to pass you at speed to prove a point or something. I wait until they are just about level with me (5 or 10 meters behind) then floor it. I can only imagine what they are saying when they never even make it even with me!!! hehehehehe One tool did that with his girl friend next to him... You got some shplainin to do sonny :killingme :D

[TonyB]

Waaaaaaaaay back in about '91 a guy in a then new Audi Quattro Turbo tried to take me on on my $1500 FZ400R. I think the Quattro was worth about the same as a good house. We were turning right from a set of lights onto a stretch of open road. I had blipped past him at the previous lights, so he got all fired up and barged infront of me while we were giving way to oncoming traffic. Once the traffic cleared, he planted boot. I had to wait a smidgeon longer for the cars to clear, and then gave chase.
I will never forget the look of utter disgust and dismay on his face as I blasted past, giving him a freindly wave with my left hand. That one kept me smiling for days.

[Suney]

This group of uni students in a gt libero tried to race me at the dominion road lights during peak hour traffic - great idea.
Funny thing is that I always see him at the Kate Edgar commons but he doesn't know me cause I was wearinga helmet

[Coyote]

Thats the white forester isn't it? The one that when someone steps in it, the bodykit starts dragging across the ground. Bloody wanker

[gamgee]

don't EVER try race a mazda GTX when your riding an sr250, i kept up with him for about 20m and was thinking hey wow i'm keeping up, then his turbo kicked in and well yeah it wan't pretty :bye: and he knew he'd taken me down that gtx sounded worked though you shoulda heard the turbo sucking up the cats and small children off the side of the road, can't wait to get a quicker bike then i'll be a little more respectable, all i can beat at the moment is those civic boy racers

Heck yeah, some of those things can be pretty bloody quick. I came across a super low white WRX with the plate 'REX2C'...I'm sure I've seen it in some performance car mag once...the thing was quick as hell!! We were neck and neck up to 2....needless to say, it was quick. So cool being off a 250 though, the CBR250 wouldn't want to even know about it :D

[hondacmx450]

my street fighter shows them but thay look at it and say mmm wheely all the way but the cops man got to be good some times i wish i was alowed to do it

[scumdog]

Next time, try miming a reaaaaallllllllyyyyy ssssllllloooooooowwwwww yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnn.

Done that! Then they give you the finger. Then you burst out laughing (like almost overdoing it). Then they glare at you and look (even) more sullen. Then you smile and wave, twist the throttle, pull alongside and just as they get all het up again,flick on right indicator and turn off down side street. :D

Nothing like it for confusing the 'wannabe' racers. :msn-wink:

[scumdog]

I thought Forresters were sort of sat higher than the average Subaru and aimed at the off-road type of stuff????

Sort of reverse of putting knobblies on a R1!.

[250learna]

I thought Forresters were sort of sat higher than the average Subaru and aimed at the off-road type of stuff??.

haha thats the aim, but they have a wrx engine, and theres a few in upper hutt that a lowerd + the worx. I've been in one of them done up by the mechanic who owns, big front mount gives it away and that thing moves.

[SPORK]

Hey, 250Learna, what's the colour scheme of your bike? I've seen a couple of ZXRs around good ol' Boganville (I'm allowed to call it that coz I also live there)

[FROSTY]

No you lot. The best --the Very best is to pull alongside them at some lights
put on the full racer starting stance revving the engine.
They get all het up and rev their car .
The lights turn green and you just sit there -as they go barrelling straight towards a trafic patrol car you know is parked in a sidestreet nearby.
To totally add insult to injury you ride past at the speed limit laughing your head off
You understand that I would Never do such a thing --strictly hypothetical

[Lou Girardin]

I know it's childish, but I embarrassed a guy in his modded 323 coming back from Kaiaua on Saturday. I had to give way to him as we turned into a certain road, then his boot gets into it, the 323 belches clouds of black smoke and he's away. So I give him 100 metres and nail it, went past so fast I damn near sucked his backwards facing cap of his head. Poor kid, girlfriend in the car and all.
Bike one more, car nil again.

hahahahha love it

Hoohoo, thats given me ideas

[Beemer]

I think the bike's biggest advantage is the ability to pass where cars can't - and don't that rip their shorts! I love being in a long line of traffic with some tosser in a souped up lowered wanker wagon right behind me, itching to get past. Trouble is, there are cars coming towards us - and not much space between the cars in front, so he's stuffed for overtaking. Me, I can pull out and gently slip in and out of the cars ahead, meaning by the time a passing lane arrives, I'm usually miles ahead of him! Or, the best thing is when they go screaming past you along the straights (you let them, because YOU know where the cops sit!) and either get a ticket, or you catch up to them in the windy bits where they can't see far enough ahead to pass and wave as you overtake them!

Most of the tossers in Levin try and drag you off at the lights (yes, we do have two sets!) and their favourite trick is to get in the left-hand turning lane and try and pass you on the inside. Never happens - they usually get stuck as some little old lady lurches out from the kerb without indicating and they have to jam on the brakes! Oh how we laugh!

[ManDownUnder]

Oh yeah - and I wouldn't do it either...

... I just love finding opportunities like that where I have to restrain myself from doing that sort of thing :D

Nice one - like it!

[ManDownUnder]

My fav example of this was YEARS ago in New Plymouth... some meathead insisted on coming up so close behind me he was basically on top of my... I changed down and nailed it away from him, changed up and reverted to my normal 120 or whatever.... next thing - he's back up my 6...

... so I do it again - this time REALLY leaving him in the dust for quite a while... then resuming normal speed... sure enough a couple of mins later - there he is again...

..soooo... it's 5:00pm in New Plymouth and I arrive at the top of Coronation Av right a the peak of congestion... slow it down to 40 and crawl the entire length of the road to the top of Boys' High Hill (about 2 or 3 km from memory?)

I almost learned a few new word from him - coz I could feel the vibes coming from his car.

As for me now - I've got even more horses than I did then (that was on a GPz550) and I have to admit I've often happy just knowing that I could blow them away... possibly needing 3rd gear if really pushed...

Size doesnt matter (contary to what most think :msn-wink: )
Nor does age.....
the day the 6L holden motor produces 100bhp/L ill go buy one. All the other motors can quite easily.

In reference to the story. Had a similar one WAY BACK in my pillion days.
Sitting on the back of dads bike, booting it round turangi, dad pulled up behind a primera doing 160, instead of passing him - dad pushed the primera to 180 (making him work for it) - we continued following at this speed for a couple of k......and i was really confused on why dad didnt just pass him......then sure enough, round a corner, nice cop car sitting there. Dad hit the picks, slowed to 100 - and the cop did a u and chased after the primera. We saw them both a few k's down the road - and laughed. Those who dont try and win - dont walk home :yes:

Alot of car drivers really enjoy seeing us doing wheelstands, taking off a warp speed and otherwise doing "cool" shit! Only problem, it's our licences and lives on the lines!
I've had several eejits park alongside me at traffic lights, and go "Pull a wheelie! Wheelie! Wheelie!"
The advantage of wearing a mirrored/tinted visor is they can't see my face, so it's easy to pretend I haven't heard them.

As for those who want to race, I find that goading them into racing me then sitting there on the line is often more satisfying than racing them. Although there have been a few times I've obliged, and blown them away. Like a few weeks ago, returning from the shops one night in the 205 GTi, and I passed a Skyline or some BoyRacery car, with intercooler, blow-off valve, all that crap. Next thing, I see his ugly car in the mirror. Unfortunately, even though the 205 is only 130 bhp, it's very light, and has torque everywhere, so I just left my foot on the loud pedal until a ridiculous speed resulted, and he'd disappeared from view.... Then I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard.
Had to apologise to my son afterwards (it's mostly his car) as he thought we were going to die... :whistle:

i love holden drivers in their v8's thinking that they can beat anything on the road :niceone: i was in my levin few months ago and this old fella in an ss comodore pulled up looking like he owns the place, me being young and reckless just couldnt give up that opportunity.
5.7 vs 1.6
hmm ok so he is in a holden = auto :niceone:
after initial take off im 1/2 a car lenght in front thinking yes now i just gota hold the lead. To my surprise i start edging away trough the gears right up to about 140 where i had a nice lead and didnt want to risk going any faster. This made me feel good :devil2: , but what made me feel even better was the old mans face, from his facial expression i would have to guess that the poor guy was constepated.
needless to say tho once i stoped accelerating he went flying past and didnt slow down to save whats left of his ego. :yes:
So since the 5.7 is not giving them enough power to weight to take on a 1.6 the only logical explanation is to increase capacity, its not like petrol is getting expansive, and our natural resources depleted :no:

Bahahaha that reminds me of my most memorable trip on the NW'ern ever, heading for howick - going over the limit by a little, filtering through cars etc (was about 11am, still had a lot of cars floating around!) next thing I see is two (I kid you not) 80 year olds AT LEAST, in a big Holden HSV - I was flabbergasted, so I caught up to them and stared in the window and just about fell off laughing, to make it worse they thought that I wanted a race, so they take off - I refused to loose to people 6x my age - my dad would have woop'ed my ass if I did loose, and so I gave pursuit - I was next to them within seconds a quick wave and I was gone - was riding the limiter (193kmph, had not de-restricted at that point ) for a minute so that I wouldn’t have to worry about it, then I kid you not they rip past me - what was more scary is the way they drove, they sat in the car motionless, like they were lost or didn’t know what they were doing, lifeless in fact, both pale white - So i take off once again - made a new lane for myself when we hit a big bottle neck and that was the last I saw of them, I couldn’t stop laughing until I missed the off ramp, and had to take a different one which confused me, but at arrival I told tristanK and we were both laughing about it, I wish I had a bike camera at that time.

With regards to cage vs. cage drags, a word of warning from a recent unpleasant experience...............avoid dragging off big v8 tow trucks in Manurewa with drivers who look like they could of won the Mongeral Mob "most scarey f**ker" competition and need to take a lifetime membership to Anger Management classes...... :whistle:

OH that reminds me of another funny story, some dorks/big berly blokes thought it was funny to chuckle/point at my bike from their "dumb" truck when I was limping it home from the crash, they got the biggest airfull ever - they soon wound up the window and pissed off - maybe its all an intimidation thing :lol: although I dont recommend telling someone in a vehical 20x bigger than you where they can shove it, just asking for trouble...

Ok I will stop with my stories.

[madboy]

well while everyone else is reliving their youth...

back before I had a bike and had no concept of how fast they really are, I had a heavily wanked up Lancer GSR with very little visual modification (i.e. none). Was great fun meeting the cap backwards brigade at the informal traffic light drag meets, I don't recall ever losing to a car. One night, a certain TL riding KB member before his move to Auckland lined me up. Expecting to receive a solid pounding, I lined him up, and duly obliged by delivering a good performance, although the car was still in the early stages of development so not a stunner by later comparisons. TL farked off into the distance on the back wheel, we hit our end point, turned around at the next intersection and maxed the car out on the way back (i.e. a wee way north of WAY over the speed limit). Said TL rolls up beside, gives a heads up and disappears again.

Get back and have a post-match with the TL rider, and he was amazed, reckoned it was the closest he'd ever come to a car keeping up - hell he only beat by a mile!!
