quite often! If I'm beside one at the lights I rev up the engine to make them think I'm going to race them and then when the light changes to green I wait a few seconds and quietly cruise away:woohoo:. By then they've raced off with me having the last laugh:yes:. I rarely try to out race them, which I can easily do, but once I get to the speed limit I slow down they then catch up to me and it gets, invariably, a little ugly:facepalm: Mostly boys with a tiny p***s in japas.

The Jappas and V8s are common to race you, the problem is whether I notice or not, getting off the lights in town and every now and then you hear the irritating VTEC Civics' bouncing off the limiter....I've ridden away from the lights many a time only to notice as I get to 50 that there's an SS or XR8 trying to get beside me :facepalm: I even got lucky and had an Aston Marton V8 Vantage try get me off the lights, I let him at the second set because, fuuuuck they sound glorious :love:

I had a similar experience the other day.

7pm, Takanini, the road was wet from a recent shower.

Filtered to the front of the queue waiting at the lights. Rode off normally albeit with a bit less emotion as the road was wet and I didn't want to spin my wheels. As I got up to about 55km/h in first (and was changing up to fourth) I heard someone losing a bit of traction fading into the distance behind me. Then I heard the distinctive sound of a Jappa IL4 redlining and shifting up gears. After what seemed like 5 seconds a boy racer in a late 90's integra, with big exhaust, mags, gauges etc, flew past me at probably 80+km/h. I met him at the next set of lights and he seemed pretty impressed. Then, just for fun, I casually destroyed him again (only up to the speed limit and then levelled off)

I guess you just so used to the acceleration of a bike that you forget to pity these boy racers who insist on spending all their money on polishing turds.

I've come across one... I was actually rolling nicely off the lights until a black AMG CL63/5 I think came roaring past.

Held level around a curve struggling like hell for traction, I backed off onto the straight as he came slightly into my lane, then I managed to pull level again, and slightly ahead. That was on a 04 ZX10R.

The combination of a lot of money, a light car, big engine, traction control and someone that actually knows how to drive it... it is indeed a challenge.

Back to normality, a mate and I used to go boy racer hunting on Fri/Sat nights. We used to sit behind (they never did stationary drags, as they couldn't launch) waiting for them to get up some speed, then pass both nice and easy :lol:

I was doing 180 odd down a hill on my 650 years ago when an SL65 cruised by and beeped at me, then proceeded to pull away silently at a ridiculous rate :shit:
Never had a problem with any cages up to legal speeds on that 650.
Had a joust at the lights in Wellington with 73 is 911RS, it was surprisingly fast (This was on the CBeige400) but it all comes down to reaction time, I got off the line a shed load faster, ergo I creamed him. His gorgeous sounding six drowned the sewing machine 4 cyl out though

Was coming home from work a few weeks ago through town, stopped at the front at a set of lights - some old Skyline pulls up next to me and starts revving the engine. I didn't realise it at first so they're still revving it - I look over and rev my little 250 back and in the corner of my eye I spot an undercover cruiser one car back behind them.

Needless to say lights turn green, I beat them to 50km and I see them roll by speeding with some young guy giving me a wanker signal in the passenger seat.

The undercover behind them flicks on his lights and speeds up to catch them, then proceeds to pull them over - I'm passing them about now and give them a wave :scooter:

Legend tells of an AE86 tailgating me while i'm at around 140, suddenly decides to slingshot past on a narrow bridge moving 150+.
No shit, around the corner was DiscoMan-Stu and his customer, both with mouths mouths agape.
Needless to say, not wanting to be labeled a country street racer by the radio, I took an alternate route from the main road.

For some reason it seems to be the big V8 ford/holden Utes that have to have a go.... it's even funnier when you are 2 up and just roll on the power for a few seconds.... the wife/girlfriend/shag in the passenger seat looks soooooooo impressed with the guys 'penis extension' being out dragged by a 2 up bike, then just let them go, often with a little wave.

For those of the KB'er who know me personally and well enough to know im a few sockets short of a tool set,
I have a big thing about boy racers and muppets in general who try to over take me or rev their pieces of ass to their piss ant 7k red line, Im pretty competitive and enjoy giving them a good thrashing, I like sitting in first/second gear and looking at them giving them a thumbs up for effort before I change up and carry on my merry way.
There have been a few times where I have raced for cash though.. haha :facepalm::facepalm:

I've raced a couple of cars that have been able to hold me off on a 750/older thou to over 250kph.
I've raced an older blade back in the day in my v8 that couldn't shake me down the southern.
I've chased a guy on a tl thou through the old north road in a skyline that couldn't lose me too.
And I've driven an Audi that did 250kph in 4th out of 6 gears.

Wot he said.
I had my arse handed to me (while riding a rgv250) way back in the day by a very skilled driver in what I now know to be worked Detomaso Pantera.
Likewise when I had the FZ1 I "gave up" leading a group of cars on the western motorway when my speedo hit 220kph. Group was RX7 and GTS-T (with a scary size turbo - could hear it over the motorbike).
To be honest I don't mind losing.
But if you don't move you fucking slow arse, and your heap of shit (bikes included) off the road when I hit "MY" sub-90k corners - you better hope I never see you again. I will shove your brake pedal up your arse so hard you will never slow me down in the corner again.

Have to agree with that statement, there are a lot of mostly badly maintined, thrashed and 'half baked tuning' noisy shitboxes out there. However there are some seriously worked and tuned cars out there too. As much as some here would not like to accept, a fully tuned WRX will give 90% of bikes a serious run for acceleration, and often better the top end. Remember Skylines can and do produce in excess of 800bhp quite easily. (Top Gear tested one in the UK that produced 1000bhp and was road legal).

yes this is all true, but these are the once in a way, needle in the hay stack occurances. and yes, fully tuned, ud have to spend a fuckload of time and money to get a car goin as fast as my (7 grand) bike. I love cars dnt gt me wrong, but the simple fact is, in my case anyway, 99.9% of vehicles i come across at the lights or on the motorway just dont make the cut.

Yeah. I've had a few boy racers in Jappas who think they are fast try to race ... I like to go passed their drivers window and something past 160 klicks and change up a gear ... Unfortunately I can't see their faces ...

One tried it on last week ... left him in my dust in fourth gear (six-gear bike) ...

I run into a few boi racers when I am out in my sports car from time to time I just let them go, not worth the bother and loss to me if I loose my license. On the track however it's another thing.

I do enjoy a wee squirt over the Akaroa hill road at 0800 before the rozza are up, chasing or being chased by sports bikes but that road is a lot easier in a performance car than a bike and frankly I don't have the trouser room to ride a sports bike any more.
