Your best "Dissing boy racers" story.

[Firefight]

have read a fair bit of negative stuff re boy racers lately,

would be keen to hear your stories of dissing them.

I'll start with the time our small group of riders in the pre "Fight Club" days 04 or thereabouts, we were all in Morrinsville:zzzz::zzzz: having some coffee, I think we were waiting for Linda and Hamish (from wellywood) as they ride ducatis they were late...:bleh:.

anyway a few of us were sitting outside a cafe watching these boy racers drive round and round the block:sleep: I guess thats all you would do in M/ville on a weekend day,

we were calling out poactive comments about the similarity there cars had to pieces of shit, and for some reason they did not like it ??

anyway my mate and I decided to stirr them up a bit more and invited them to a race in the main street.

My mate took off heading east, at a great rate of knots, only to stop when he noticed a :Police: car hiding in the car park, next thing we know red and blues are on and the:Police: pulls the Boy racers up, we felt it best to move on at that stage... Nice one Andrew ( I'll see if I can find the link).

One of the apprentices at work has some sort of tricked out RX7. I must've seen him looking cool in it a couple of months back, cause he seems to think I looked him in the eye and fucked off on the back wheel.

Back when my first daughter was born, Mega-geoff had just bought a cool car of the day, a Spec R S15 Sylvia 6 speed. Nice litte car, 184kw claimed and evil as a witch with PMS and a broken broomstick. As I didn't have a bike at the time, we used to go to Welly on a Friday night in this thing and play silly buggers with the "boy racers" in their GSRs and Civics.

Anyway, we roll up next to a bike at a red on Cambridge Tce. Late model GS500 it was. Well knowing a bit about bikes as we do, me and Mega figure that the mutts nuts car is going to own this commuter piece of turd four stroke twin. Easy.

Lights go green and I light up the rear wraps a little, good launch, grabbed half a car length on the boring budget shitter before we'd even got accross the intersection. Then this prick grabs second gear and gained half a car length on us!!! Held it 'till the next red which he promptly shot straight through never to be seen again.

Reinforced what I knew all along but had too big an ego to remember. You wanna have a FUCKIN quick cage, if you wanna play with a mediocre bike.

Ahhhh, good times.

Here's another good one that I think I posted on here a couple of years back.

Heading to work on Riff raffs SV one day, particularly deserted piece of motorway.......ummm...errrrr....closed road and a fricken Honda Integra draws along side and starts pegging back gears, making heaps of fucken noise. So I thinks "You're history mate" and start winding the SV on in fourth. Making much better noise I might add. You know that feeling you get when ya think you might be about to lose, so you don't wanna look like you're trying to hard. So here's me thrashing the arse off the little 650, hunching a little, but trying not to look like I am, while this bloody ricer car next to me is level pegging. Till about 190, then he starts to drop me off a little. WTF? This is a fricken 1800 Honda for Christs sake. Then it REALLY starts to drop me off!! I mean, it pissed off in a big way. As we're starting to gain on some traffic and both obviously responsible model citizens, I see the Integras brake lights glow and I coast alongside, giving the dude a well deserved thumbs up as I cruise by.

Take a look in the mirrors as I change lanes in front of him and there's an intercooler that looks like it came off the fucken space shuttle draped over the front bumper.

Cheating prick.

[Pumba]

Racing up morrinsvilles main street main st is an acheivement in its self with all it pedestrian tables they have installed in an atempt to pretty the place up.:laugh:

In fact if you hit those at the right speed you can get quite abit of height, I learnt this when I was a little younger doing the laps, I am also very familiar with Piako Beach if anyone knows the area:whistle:, however we deffently were not boy racers as the cars I cruised round in were peices of shit and only went "PISH" when we all made the noise out the windows as we changed gears.

[robertydog]

I was diving into kfc when a boy was coming the other way. He didnt want to move out of my way and i wasnt gonna move either. So after a few minutes of the verbal shit i got out of the cage, pull my camera phone and took a photo of him. He laughed and said did i take his good side? I said yea and that the cops will like it too. Well he backed out of there so fast it wasnt funny.
Im inside with the family having my feed and he turns up again wanting apoligise and shake my hand. Greasey fingers and all. Told him to bugger off.

[McJim]

Te Irrirangi Drive, South Auckland. Coming home on my Ducati. Pull up at lights. Boy Racer pulls up in one of them ol' Mazda Rotary things - y'know the ones where they fuck up the timing so it goes Broom...Broom...Broom...Broom when they're trying to idle. I see a cop in the rear view mirror approaching quietly so grab a handful of throttle to raz the racer up a bit. He grins like a maniac and revs his car. Lights change and he's off like a cut cat with a squeal of rubber. Red and blue lights come on on and I gently pull away from the lights and wave as the boy racer pulls over :rofl:

A while back when me and N4CR had 250's we were coming up wairau/glenfield hill and were passed with a loud **waaar-PISH** by a turbo'd integra after dragging each other (comparing A and C model ZXR250's) from the lights, when we got to the next lights i leant over on my bike and said to the guy that his car must have the flu because im sure i heard it snease. Tristan nearly fell off his bike laughing.

A couple of weeks ago, got on the northern racetrack at Barrys Point Road: WRX & young boy racer does the big sideways through the corner by the lights, think he was trying to impress (get it?) his hot looking girlfriend. So I did the correct thing, and went past him making loads of noise... (under the speed limit, and with the front wheel on the ground in case there are any police people reading this post).

Humility is good for the soul.

I'm going to ask my therapist why I feel the need to humiliate boy racers in shit heap jap cars. Maybe I should have been breastfed?

hey, stop picking on Renegade Master, he's been picking on SkidMark for longest time, so he's obviously an allright guy.

Fuck 'sleeper' - I'm all pose - wheelie bars, 305x15" rears, mean rake, 'big-as-Dolly-Partons-tits bonnet-scoop', a cam that sounds like the lobes are the size of Mt Aspiring and a zorst note that rattles windows and sets off car alarms.

OK, in a 100 yard dash the average Jappa MAY clean me up but gimme a full 1/4 and/or a long uphill and it's Sayonara baby...well up to 135mph+ anyway.

Subtle eh?

The other day i was invited to a days boating on Akaroa Harbour. the boat was to be launched at Devauchelles next to the motorcamp. the narrow approach road to the launching area runs between the camp and the sea and has a 20km/hr limit as there are plenty of kids crossing the road to go swimming. Mr boy racer turned into the road and immediately on spotting his mates speeds up to 70-80km/hr and narrowly misses a couple of 4 year olds. He stops right behind me and starts telling his mates about his new spotlights. Running up the road towards us is a bloke in a wetsuit who reaches in through the car window, grabs mr BR by the shirt and smacks him with the best straight right i have seen in a while and then tells him why he got smacked. Suddenly seemed like a good day to have Selective Amnesia.

my favourite party trick was overtaking boi ricer through a left hander, over the median strip.. one hand resting on my waist like im bored... knowing full well the speed camera is around the next bend as the pimply faced cager starts to wind it up in front of his trophy girl flat chested legs open etc.. get to speed camera... my number plate flips up... *flash* goes camera and abusive 'finger gestures' follow from cage...

...sooo much fun. About as mature and sensible as stealing a childs ice cream though.

[NighthawkNZ]

Best thing I do is ignor the little fuckers... it right royally pisses them off...

[Mikkel]

Regarding the boyracers I'm with the ignore the fuckers to be honest.

What pisses me off are drivers who takes to the passing lanes accelerating like a tractor... So fucking annoying. Sometimes I can't help myself and stay in the left lane and "undertakes" and then pulls out right to complete my passing before they've even gotten up to a 120 km/h.

Or the wankers that speed up when you hit the passing lanes so you have to accelerate to license loosing speeds in order to pass. (And you just KNOW that they'll drop back down to 95 km/h when the passing lane is over).

Mine was not that long ago. Followed some of the boi-wonders to the private closed road (ish) they use for hooming about. Just watched for a while. One subaru seemed to the centre of attention, and it was actually quite quick. For a cage.

So I rolled up next to him and asked if he wanted a real challenge. I said I'd wait until he shifted to second.

He took off. I heard the pfffffft and launched. Went past him with the front wheel just off the ground, still in first. Very enjoyable and very silly. Really. Am ashamed of myself. No really, I am.

I recall giving these little shits many a wind up.

One kid thought it was "cool" to explain to me all the money spent and mods done on his $2000 jap import to make it "bling" and a "real street racer".

I told him "well it still looks and drives like shit and sounds like a hairdryer... get a real car".

He looked more deflated than the space saver spare tyre.

[DEATH_INC.]

Weeeell, I've had some fun on both sides.....
I had a run against a Suby a few years back on my FZR1000 coming outta the airport, bastard stuck on my tail till about 230kph before I could get away ( love to see ya beat that one on a 400 ) and even more recently had a run against a EVO3 down the s/w motorway, that prick stayed with the Gixxer 'till damn close to 250k.....
I've also stuck up the arse of a blade (older one, a few years ago) when I had My 351 Cortina 'till around 230-240 (not sure exactly, the speedo didn't go that high) and he chickened out and let me past, and stuck up the tailpipes of some guy on a TLs through the old north road in my mates M type Skyline....
And just for good measure I've had my ass handed to me down the drags on the ZX12 by a few cages....though admittedly never had a cage come near that on the road...

You are talking about boy racers in Subys right? If not thats a hell of a generalisation. No accidents or tickets in either of my Subarus in over 200000kms (touch wood) and there are heaps of older Subaru fans out there just like me.

[roadracingoldfart]

Being a car mechanic, myself and workmates hate to hear the sound of a friggen WANKEL go past the drive to REPCO (next door) they leave it idling at about 3500rpm and its just such an annoying sound.
Well ..... i was having a slightly bad day one time and felt like it was time to piss somebody off as id been copping it all day from customers (dont ask) so i went over to have some fun with the little toerag. I saw him at the counter and in a big clear voice said to one ot the shop staff, "hell if that was my car id try to tune it so it would idle a bit better" , the toerag walked out of the shop in disgust but that peeved me off more than anything as i was trying to improve my day lol.
A few days later he was back and i saw this guy follow the toerag into the carpark in a slightly agitated mood. He yelled at the toerag and he ran into Repco and left the car idling outside. The other guy reached into the car , took out the keys and threw them onto the roof of the building and i almost pissed myself cracking up at that, it was brilliant. He just drove away happy. Now why didnt i think of that aye ????

[NC]

When I owned "the" A100 I used to give those boy racers a run for their money on the way home up Karori rd.

I was heading to tga not to long ago, I just got out of paeroa heading towards the Karangaheke gorge, noticing a new model holden getting closer,so I fanged it. Up around the 190 mark just before the yummy twisty bits the traffic was backing up, so I gave em a wave and buggered off into the traffic.
Stopping at the waikino, grabbing a beer a sit down and a smoke I gave them a cheerful 'cheers' as they drove past :)

Since I've had the gender specified plate on the bike, I get more 'dudes' showing me that they might have big balls.

o yeh... i fugging hate slow overtakers!!

last time i was coming back from new plymouth [and i was already in a shit mood] i was overtaking everything in front of me. a few k north of wangas, i came up behind this car... right about the point the twisty bits seem to start. due to the corners, i could overtake, and every single passing lane, they would floor it [on a non passing lane they were doing like 90...]
i ended up sitting right on their tail from a "passing lane 2k" sign, and getting closer each distance sign after that. finally hit the passing lane and i moved right... and again they floored it. i was all hunched up behind the screen going hell for leather... ended up doing about 130k just to get past... pulled back in right before an 80k corner. i :love: my 500!

another funny one i had was the van [someone else on here was with me at the time] who moved right into the passing lane... with NOTHING to overtake!! we both ended up undertaking them to get past.

[rwh]

One of my most annoying trips was in a 1300 Escort. I got stuck behind a car that did 80 all the way. Unfortunately, almost all the passing lanes are uphill ... where this car kept happily doing 80k (it didn't speed up), but on the hill, my poor little car wouldn't do any more than that. I eventually crept past, getting some annoyed looks from the driver, since I was effectively cutting him off.

[T.W.R]

Back in about 93' I had a twat in a SS commadore ( bug catcher through the bonnet, bodykit, fat feet etc) try to out drag me heading up the Kilmog into Dunedin :oi-grr: needless to say he got left behind :laugh: once in Dunners I pulled over at a servo and started to gas the bike up and happened to look up just as said 'common door' limped past sounding like a tractor :doh: sounded like it had dropped at least 2 cylinders :laugh:

[MaxB]

A few years back I was on a stretch of the then new urban motorway (the same bit as I got ticketed for 70 in an 80 before cop realised the road was fully open and the 80k signs were up).

A Skyline full of hoons was tailgating me, the driver thought I wanted a race but I was only pulling away from the lights in my usual way. At the last set of lights before the open road he pulled alongside at the red.

I may have given the impression I was up for a race. Revving, staring across at them, crouching low on the tank etc.

As the light went green I nailed it hard to 80, let him catch up and overtake and blast off down into the dip in the road right into the arms of a police checkpoint. I'd estimate he was on 140-160 when he saw the cops. I can still remember the smell of tyres as he locked up desparately trying to bring the speed down.

To make matters worse he overshot the checkpoint by a few car lengths. I didn't even get stopped. Cops did not look impressed.

I had seen them setting up about 15 minutes earlier when I went past in the other direction when dropping off a parcel at the airport.

I didn't feel bad at all 'cos he was giving me the finger as he overtook plus there was plenty of time to slow if he was looking where he was going.

[EnzoYug]

Best thing I do is ignor the little fuckers... it right royally pisses them off...

I rev the guts out of what ever I'm on... really give it a shitkicking. I'll take it to 8,000 and stare the guy down with my best "Im the fucking stigg today" look.

Then when the light goes green - I wait. 2, maybe 4 seconds. At least until they're a cloud of smoke and far in the distance. Then at the next set of lights I fliter right up past their car (if they're at the front all the better) sit right in front of them, and ride at speed limit -5.

After all, power is nothing without control.

Then when the light goes green - I wait. 2, maybe 4 seconds. At least until they're a cloud of smoke and far in the distance. Then at the next set of lights I fliter right up past their car (if they're at the front all the better) sit right in front of them, and ride at speed limit -5.

After all, power is nothing without control.
(and Hyobag's don't have either :P )

That is the best fun in the world, but you've gotta watch out. Sometimes they get really twitchy/agro, and will ride RIGHT on your back rubber. i have seen a skyline full of munters literally scrub the back tire with their bumper once. At that point the bike realised "hrm, i best move now" and shot off about 10 times faster than the skyline could muster.

It is great fun to see them bust a nut and think they've won (even though you weren't even moving) and then just casually filter past them and lose them in traffic :D

Heard of someone fucked off with a tailgating prat that at the next red light he rolled the bike back, clutch in lots of revs drop the clutch and melted the prats front bumper with a big burnout before taking off on the green

Not as class as Duckman? who had a prat behind him, at the lights put the bike on the stand walked back to the car leaned through the window pulled the keys out threw them over the nearest house and hopped on the bike and took off! :clap::clap:

If only i had a bigger set of cohones, but i'm too damn nice for my own good most of the time. Have only had a go at one dickhead whilst on my bike so far, and he dropped prettymuch as soon as i turned around and opened my mouth. Kinda hard to pick a fight with someone 6 foot 2, well over the ton, and already dressed head to toe in body armour :shit:

[Big Dog]

My favorite is definitely, and round here regular:
On the scooter, give them the nod and pull in hard on the back brake, then when the lights go green give it shit.

Unless by some miracle they actually know how to drive you own them up to 50kmph.

About 55 they pass you like your standing still. Even better when you see a speed camera van down the road and keep them pinned until they are in line.

[Banesto John]

I used to have a Gilera Runner 180. It was a 2 stroke beast, that looked like my nana's shopping trolley.

It did 0 to 100 in bugger all, then not much more. In fact, the speedo was tragically over optomistic. It seems the Italians like to think they are going fast, when they actually aren't.

Anyways, it was quick, but not fast, if you know what I mean. I loved pulling up at lights and leaving the "lesser endowed" car enthusiasts in my cloud of blue smoke. I can't imagine it was fun for them to be left behind by a scooter.

Sold the scoot because I wasn't using it enough, but it was sure fun at the time, not least because it shrank a few boy racers penises.

[warewolf]

Too many fun ones over the years.

Hmm, best is probably when I had the TDM850 and the route to my house from the motorway involved quite a few dog-legs, round-a-bouts and speed humps, all to stop it being used as a shortcut. So I'd been taking the speed bumps faster and faster, until they smoothed out at around 110km/h. One night Riceboy gets on my tail making lots of noise, so I play with him, egg him on, roll the throttle on slowly so he thinks if he gives it death he'll have me. Too busy watching me to notice the speed bumps... BANG BANG! slams the front end of the car into the speed bump at some god-awful speed...gotcha! :clap: Repeat until he gets tired of getting sucked in and slamming the car into the bumps, then when you hear him brake hard for the next one, roll on the throttle and fuck off outta there.

Or there was the bloke on the motorway cutting people up at speed. I show him how it's done without pissing everyone off, then he decides to have a drag race. So I sit on his tail, cheekily zip up level with him in the left lane when he passes the last car. When he runs out of puff, I start changing down gears, loudly revving on the downchange going through each one so he can hear them all and realise I was sitting quite a few gears up when I kept up with him. Then I nailed it redline in full throttle through the gears to 200 then returned to a normal 110 cruise. He caught up with me but didn't pass me again. To add insult to injury, my wife was riding pillion and we had the panniers on.

Lost count of the number of V8s that had mechanical failure trying to keep up on long highway hills (Aussie land). Blowing them into the weeds is not nearly a rewarding challenge as encouraging them to valve-bounce their pride and joy into oblivion...

The rule when dragging cars (and Harleys) is "no down-changes" otherwise it is too one-sided. Okay, it's always too one-sided but at least I feel I've "dipped my hat" to courtesy. So if they are stupid enough to take you on at the lights when you are in first, then good luck to them! I'm still surprised (shouldn't be) how even a modest motorcycle in top gear will deal to a tricked-up tin-top.

When I was a young fellah we used to stir up the hoons at the lights. Rev up the car - and the hoon - check there's no-one behind you and grab reverse. While the lights are red, pop the clutch. Every time the other guy will race off through a red light. Meanwhile we fall about laughing, particularly when there's a cop within sight of the intersection.

Duckman or Ducman?

A mate was pillion on the back of another guys' bike, when a cage came up and bumped into the back of the bike, when they were stoped at the lights.
Mate hops off the back and proceeds to take off helmet and then makes a large hole in cagers windscreen with it...
He was a big lad and had an interesting attitude to go with it!

Mea, I dont bother passing in the over taking lanes these days. You just know there will be a cop with a camera at the end and its a fucking mad house at the merging end anyway. Best thing to do is to pass quickly on the double yellows and short strainghts when you can be reasonably sure no one else is going to pull out and then go find a road that doesnt have passing lanes, ie, get off SH1

btw, early RX-7s *are* gutless, I owned one, but they did come out in 1979 so what do you expect? With the right suspension they will own bikes round corners with fast transitions tho - particulary if the road surface is poor because the bikes have to slow down.

Re, boy racers, I've got nothing against car enthusisasts, but wankers that just buy bolt on shit and drive round suburban areas all right waking every one up are cunts. Why aren't they out on lonely country roads learning how to drive. Anyone that drives fast with stereo on isnt serious imo.

Hear hear.

Approaching Waipoua Forest last week, I was overtaken by a WRX driving rally style, they were motoring. Got glimpses of them round the bends through the gaps in the landscape, getting further and further along the road. It would have been a fun drive. And they could drive.

On the GSX-R I seem to attract people in fast cars wanting to have a go. Must be an ant thing. But mostly it's drivers having a go in a straight line. Which is gay.

Yesterday some prat in a Holden cut in front of me as I was overtaking him and another car in front of him on the overtaking lane going up Haywards Hill. He looked at me then planted it as I was passing in order to get in front of me. Too old to be a 'boy racer' though.

[vifferman]

i'm always getting smoked by boy racers :(
Oh dear! You realise this makes you a cock, as boy racers are cock smokers. :eek:

[vifferman]

Is that what the WBP Gixxer needs to make HP like Shirrifs bike does, a decent turbo? How would you hide the intercooler radiator from the scrutineers though?
No, not a turbo - a Rotrex supercharger. It's possible to fit all the gubbins (or is that "gubbinses"?) under the fairing. :yes:
There's a lovely little VFR800 in Mrka that the 23 year old owner fitted one two - looks standard (at a cursory glance, at least), and in a minor state of tune churns out 160+ ponies at the back wheel. Rides like a standard bike unless you give it a handful.

[nodrog]

about a month ago i was riding back from cambridge to tauranga, cruising south on SH1, at the last passing lane i see this shitbox civic fly up the passing lane next to me, he looks over with a big smile on his face, so i gave the gixxer a "lazy" 6 gear roll-on just to keep him in check. at the tauranga turn off he tried again on the big straight, so i let him get a couple of hundred metres ahead then passed him on the back wheel, this carried on for a while until i got bored and let him past. then some girl racer in a sylvia did the big thunder pass at at least double the speed limit to catch up to the civic. got to the turn off at the bottom off the kaimais, civic boy pulls out in front of a car and is off, sylvia girl pulls out in front of a truck and is off, then its my turn, i pass sylvia girl around the outside by the oko turn off, shes not happy, catch civic boy before the first lefthander of the kaimais, the look of determination on his face was priceless as i passed him one handed on a lefthander, he dissapeared very quickly. i stopped at the top for a smoke, just as i was lighting it civic boy goes past still determined as ever, sylvia girl isnt far behind, and i can tell she is angry by the way she is waving her finger. so off i pootle again, pass sylvia girl and kindly return her friendly finger wave, then coming down the tauriko hill towards the toll road round about i see civic boy, i gently apply more throttle and aproach apon him, he flys into the round about about 100m in front of me, i enter the round about and about half way around i encounter a big cloud of dust and dirt and a civic spinning round and round, so i pass this spinning cloud of civic, dust, and boy racer poo laughing my ass off, get to barkes corner round about and boy racer pulls up in the left hand lane, white as a ghost, looking straight ahead, with his best "mummy help me" face on, so i give him a big thumbs up, i gave him a A for effort, an F for execution :clap:

You may be right about the ant thing, I don't often get quite that much agro. That's a particularly dangerous place to pull that stunt, and in that situation there's no way in hell he'd have got away without knowing how I felt about it. In detail. With whatever punctuation I could improvise.

I love having a dark-tinted visor. There are too many occasions where you get some dick yodelling out the window at you to "do a wheelie", or challenging you to a race. It's really easy when they can't see your face for you to be totally impassive and ignore them.
Yeah, I've given in to temptation on occasion, but not for a long time. Sometimes I soundly smoked them, sometimes I goaded them into thinking it was a race then just sat there while they blasted off, but it's all so forgettable.

My favourite motoring moments (all pre "boy racers") date back to 1977, when I owned a lowly "Morrie Thou".
MM1: cruising on the Southern Motorway on the way to a concert at Western Springs, with a carload of mates. We passed a gurrrl in an Escort Van, with the Morrie's speedo needle against the pin (around 75mph). She looked out the window as we passed, did a classic doubletake, and with eyes wide open, clearly mouthed, "Oh my God!!" We all cracked up.
MM2: I was pissed, and we're driving along, about 12 at night, in the King Country, when Vic says, "Uh - there's a corner here."
I slow a bit.
"Hey - it's a really sharp corner!"
It was a T-intersection. :shit:
I hit the anchors, whack the wheel to the right, and we slide sideways through the intersection, off the side of the seal and into the gravel, and are just about stopped when we hit the kerb and the car rocks up onto two wheels then gently drops down again.
I restart the engine and drive off, shaking just a tad (an imperial tad, of course).
MM3: A nicely resealed intersection in Rotovegas (back when it was just Rotorua), three passengers for ballast, taken a wee bit fast, with a quick flick of the steering, leaving four black lines on the road. Classic!

The only recent story I have was Beating Them at Their Own Game: driving my son's 205GTi, when I pulled up at the lights alongside some tricked up, blinged out Jap racer, with a huge intercooler on the front. The 205 may be a mere 135hp, but it's also only 863kg or somesuch, has very long legs, the 8-valve engine seems to have torques everywhere, and it doesn't run out of puff at the top end. It may have been giving away a few years and a good many horsies to the Boyracermobile, but in a fit of momentary insanity, I forgot I was old (and supposed to be setting a good example), and smoked the Yoofs. :headbang:
Up till a tad over the speed limit - I'm not totally stupid.

[ManDownUnder]

... my all time favourite (personal) story of boy racer stupidity...

I'm stopped at the lights (first set off the NW, heading past Westgate)... sitting on the trusty RF when young Mr Racer rocks on up beside me, guns his engine and obviously wants to have a go. Obviously proud of his car, he'd also obviously poured some considerable money into it but..

... IT'S A FUCKEN 323 STAIONWAGON!!!!!

Then just beware - like there's a Lexus V8 powered SE Corolla down here with faded paint, rust spots, no exhaust pipe showing and no bonnet-bulge/scoop, no fancy badges or decals, just a set of tarnished old mags'n'low profilest- VERY sneaky, very grunty.

Fair call... but I'm willing to bet when they gun the engine there's some about it that says "you should stop laughing now". The raw power of that racing 1500 had quite the opposite effect.

It was a good laugh though.

FWIW... I like subtle like that. I'd actually be happy to lose to someone as downright devious as meself...

Best sleeper I've seen locally was a VW beetle with a big block. Hugely impractical, but very impressive. The only give-away was the fact the driver's seat was where the rear seats should be, and sitting there at idle the sound was unmistakable, and the whole body wobbled.

Geez King Rat was built in Wellywood back in the 70's then owned by a clubmate in Hawera. Ran a 427 big block with short wheelbase - fun to watch in gymkana's

County Durham Police force used to have a battered old Ford Fiesta - unmarked. Underneath the modest exterior were some innards courtesy of Cosworth I believe.

They used to chase Porsches up and down the A1 - the front grille would drop away at a touch of a button to reveal the word Police and the sports car drivers would get a nasty surprise when they tried to gap it!

no misunderstanding you got it in one, i am not going to let some baggypants mommas boy try and pass me on the last 10 metres of a passing lane, cut in front of me, only to hold me up on the next corner.

and its nowhere near the top of my gripe list, i have never had anybody hold me up in a passing lane by speeding up :laugh:

[koba]

heey, just for the record I'm generally much more wary of old nannas driving home from bridgeclub on a wednesday night totaly devoid of periphiral vision....

However there is definatley plenty the cock in the jappas.

One great one for me is when some guys with rich parents or massive loans tuned up at out carclubs autocross. (bucket racing for cars but one at a time)

They rolled up in modified and heavily stickerd reardrie nissans that ooozed misspent cash. slid around the couse making lots of noise and evaporating a set of tyres in a day.
One of the silivas allegedly had 450 horse a the wheels!

They weren't very fast tho....

I was in my brothers 1988 Mitsi lancer stationwagen with 155 tyres front and back, 4speed manual and airconditioning!

From memory I think I beat 3 of the 4 guys for time, all in first gear!!!!
No shit, that old 8valve single cam motor must have been revving past ten grand!!

Lasted a good 3 months too, not bad for $250 or so!
He sold it on fucked (open about its fuckedness, twas hardly disguisable) and a week later saw it parked up at the bottom of the takas for a bout 3 weeks with a big pool of oild under it!

[scumdog]

i used to have an applause legendary ,machine...

was keeping up with morcs and zero index up SH16 in it with a 120kg passenger auto 1.6l

with all 4 wheels sliding round 55's LOL

front wheel drive car whole thing sliding = oh lordy lol

had full control tho....

go round corners bloodey well for a family car those applauses!

It was wet. Me and Zero were cruisin'

But spose you were still going at a decent pace

[Blue Velvet]

Everytime I go out riding, I have multiple run-in's with boy racers, not so boy racers, and general plonkers wanting to have a go. And before you say it, I don't encourage it with my riding behaviour, mmmkay?

Last night I did the Haywards/Pie Cock Hill/Pauatahanui Inlet route a couple of times, and again, I get wankers driving too close, cutting in front, wanting a go at lights. Old, young, crusty, shopping trolleys, utes, cars. There is no pattern, though it does seem more prevalent in Wellington, rather than on the open road :bash:

This may happen to others, but I'm not so sure about the frequency. Would be interested to hear...

I'm guessing it's ant syndrome. May need to invest in a Michelin Man suit or eat more pies.

Yeah - beauty.
Even when I had a 50cc scooter many many years ago there were very few boy racers who could beat you over the first few yards or to 40k. And that's the phychological victory and the breaking point for their fragile self-image and masculinity.

Even better once I made an fat middle-aged balding guy (a boy racer at heart) stall his 911 as I revved up staring him down. Lovely.

[vifferman]

I made an fat middle-aged balding guy (a boy racer at heart) stall his 911 as I revved up staring him down. Lovely.
I hate that. I've stalled a few times when I've filtered to the front at the lights, they've changed to green, and I've given the bike too few herbs.
I'm currently driving #2's car to work, and the blardy thing has a wonky EFI system that sometimes stalls the car just because it can. But (however), at least it doesn't have the strange, twisted spaghetti logic (spirelli?) of #1's Fiat, which requires that you turn the key off and on again when you stall.
"Ah scusi; hang-a on-a una momento: the car, she have-a stalled-a!"
Meanwhile, all the mopeds, buses, trucks and donkey carts are halfway to the next set of lights...

I had a Range Rover have a go at the lights at the bottom of Haywards Hill last night. Admittedly a late model V8 one, didn't care to look at what exactly, but still... It's a freaking shopping trolley.

[Nagash]

Getting sick of the call of "Oi you, do a wheelie!" On a fucking 250 cruiser? Not even the slightest chance..

Had plenty of boy-racer wasting moments. I have a Suzuki FX125C. This thing is quite practically a scooter. I was filtering through the traffic and levelled up next to an oldish 911 up the front of the cue with young guy and his girl friend in it, he told me as a joke that he could probably waste me. Had to take him up on the offer.. now while it is a scooter, this thing accelerates like no ones business.

He was eating dust the entire way (it was only about 200 metres to the next intersection). I got a good laugh out of it and he may be re-thinking his attitude..

On a completely side note, I'm sitting here in a newly bought pair of leather pants trying to break them in a bit..

[warewolf]

Does it count when you pwn your scooter-riding mates by mistake?

I worked with some scooter fellahs. Free and frank discussion round the coffee machine was a regular occurrence, we were all keen about anything two-wheeled. I used to go watch them racing at Mt Wellington. We went for a ride one lunchtime to check out some scoot stuff, as you do. Anyways, last set of lights before the office I decided was a ripe opportunity for a drag race, they did too! I figured they could quite possibly have the edge getting off the line and/or getting up to 50k or so. We'd talked about it, wondering which was quicker.

Lights go green, I pop the clutch a bit too aggressively and it slips; the clutch on my Trophy was getting quite worn, was slipping a lot under high load. I clutch it in again, try again, same thing. Third time I'm trying gently to at least get moving, still slips, figure I just rev it 'cos I know it'll bite properly a few thou' up.

Passed those guys about 5-10m from the line at a great rate of knots, totally pnwed them! "Faaaaark! that thing goes!" they say later, then I tell them about the clutch and the head start they got :D and that my slow old thing is by no means fast in the bike world. Bit of an eye-opener for them, and these guys are not ignorant to start with. That episode went into office folklore, they loved re-telling it!

[Brett]

Most of the time I get some boy racer revving at me at the lights wanting to have a dance, I will rev back and make all serious for a race, then take off normally and openly laugh at them at the next set. Sometimes however, there are those special moments where the boy racer was just too arrogant.. Those times I will still launch slowly off the line, I wait till they have a 20 or so meter lead, then while still mid range in first, I open the throttle open with a sharp snatch, and come past them with the front hoisted, then if there is a set of lights to stop at, lift the rear in a stoppie just to rub salt into the wound.

Had an interesting one through Twilight Rd about 3 months ago, older guy in an old school Chevie muscle car came racing up my arse on the long straight leaving Clevedon. I held the speed I was already carrying (110 KPH) then absolutley hauled arse through the twisties. Was very amusing to hear the bloke roaring the V8 between corners and then trying to get it around corners. I had a go with my mate in his evo 5 through the very same road and he never stood a chance...thus I doubt this fella would have faired too much better. Always good for a laugh.

[vifferman]

In fact, you get extra bonus points for accidental or unintentional pwnage. :yes:
And if it's your mates, then you get superduper bonus bonus points.

[quackquack]

i have owned a few boy racers in a mates AC Cobra he had. He lent to to me will he was overseas for a year and wanted some to drive it once a month. No Boy Racer could stay close to me with a 427 and weighing nearly nothing and is one of the best cruises along mission bay . Man it was worse to be in than a bike if it rained. I could make it wheel spin in 3rd gear in the wet not bad for a 4 speed.

A lot of these wee stories seem to be the result of non-rider's complete ignorance of some of the performance aspects of bikes in general. Keep 'em higgerant I say, why spoil the surprise when it really counts.

I was hooning moderately along a gravel road on Gt Barrier once when it became apparent I was about to be cut off by an old Evo, turning in from a driveway to the left. It was safer to nail it and pass in front than it was to brake. He obviously hadn't seen me until I passed in front of him, and then he's all huffy, up my date and obviously intent on learning me some manners. I wasn't about to give him another opportunity to run me off the road so I just did enough to keep ahead.

He was persistent though, so I started slowing up going into corners, so that I could liberally sprinkle him with gravel on the gas on the way out. Two or three corners like that and I'm thinking "fuck, he really doen't care much about his paint". A couple more and I've got him well lined up on a corner made up of more loose broken rock than real gravel. So I pulled the trigger, and sure enough the idiot backed off.

Later that day several of us were gassing up, and the same guy pulls into the gas station. Christ, you should have seen the damage, a broken screen, headlight and numerous fresh wee craters all over paint. He might have objected if I was alone, as it was he just pretended we wern't there and fucked off.

i have owned a few boy racers in a mates AC Cobra he had. He lent to to me will he was overseas for a year and wanted some to drive it once a month. No Boy Racer could stay close to me with a 427 and weighing nearly nothing and is one of the best cruises along mission bay . Man it was worse to be in than a bike if it rained. I could make it wheel spin in 3rd gear in the wet not bad for a 4 speed.

Used to live next door to a guy with a AC Cobra, each weekend they'd warm it up in the driveway, the idle just pulsed through our house like a shockwave, then they'd push it out onto the street since it'd just rip their driveway up whenever they tried to reverse it, and then try to take off without scorching the rubber.

I'll own one someday...

Edit: yeah, that's a bit off topic, so for redempion, had a boyracer in a NA lancer ask me for a race the other week, when I just laughed excessively and said "You're kidding, right?" the look on his face was gold.

Wasn't quite as cunning the next day though.

I inadvertently did the same thing to a guy on an XL650...


In fact, you get extra bonus points for accidental or unintentional pwnage. :yes:
And if it's your mates, then you get superduper bonus bonus points.

... Which, far from gaining me bonus pwnage ( :laugh: ) points cost me dearly at the bar that night.

A car load of teenage Indians or Middle Easterns boys pulled up next to me and mrs once at the Gilles Ave intersection late at night in a Mitsi FTO (hardly a performance car) but the driver seemed to think it was. He was reeving his car waiting for the green. When the light turned he dropped the clutch and reeved the titis of the FTO and got a second wheel spin again from 1st to second gear. Me on the other hand, I matched his speed perfectly staying in first gear giving the boys the false impression that we were evenly matched. When my bike got to the end of first gear, I opened it hard in second and left 'em boys for dust he he he. I then slowed back down to the speed limit and they kept going past me.

Another time on the Hauraki Plains before Matamata a brand spanking Holden clubsport came from no where and overtook me at nearly double my (legal) speed. At the next town we caught up with each other and as we crossed the railway lines and entered the 100kph zone we both planted it (I in my RF900R). It's fair to say there was virtually no difference in acceleration from 80kph-220kph where I had a reality check and let him go (he was in front of me). Respect for the Clubsports!!

[yungatart]

Not boy racer vs motorcycle but funny, all the same.
My dear old mum, she had to have been 7o ish at the time, all 4 ft 9 of her, complete with silver hair, driving my brothers GT Falcon...she actually needed a booster cushion to reach the accelerator.
She stops at the lights and a boy racer thingy full of young guys pulls up in the lane next to her. They rev their car and look at Mum who just watches the lights...as they go green, Mum plants boot, shoots across the intersection, and gives a friendly wave to the dudes still stranded at the intersection. They had stalled....oh, the shame of being beaten off the lights by a tiny little grey haired old lady!!

[skidMark]

It is great fun to see them bust a nut and think they've won (even though you weren't even moving) and then just casually filter past them and lose them in traffic :D

did that on my mates zx10r a boy racer ...turbo manual 180sx(rs13) nissan silvia....

he gives me a go off these lights.....hes going for it i'm just going beside him.

he gets up to 3rd..wringing the tits off this thing


i'm side by side looking at himmmm.....

making lots of noise.

then went fuck this.....

grabbed a bit of a handful and fucked off on one wheel...

then i clicked 2nd gear :cool:

I haven't shown up an boy racers on the GN (probably because it's not possible) but I have sorted one out properly face to face.
My old house was in Auckland's colourful suburb of Mangere.
One Saturday I was taking the dog for a run and along the road comes a black nissan with stupid exhaust - bonnet scoop - tints etc
In a 50kph zone full of houses and a lot of young kids this tosser was doing at least 90.
Having had kids run out in front of me on the same Rd it certainly got my attention.
I'd seen the car before and knew where it lived so on the way back I checked if it was there.
As luck would have it both car and driver were in the driveway.
I asked the guy why was he going so quick.
He told me to fuck off.
Being in a bit of bad mood I pulled the cheeky bastard out of his car and punched him in the nose.
This didn't sit well with him so naturally he tried to hit me back.
I hit him again in the stomach and when he doubled over put a nice upper cut into his chin.
By this time his parents had come out to see what the fuss was about.
When I told them he'd been driving like a prat his Dad went off at him and dragged him into the house.
His mum came over and apologised. She said the Police had paid a visit the day before after complaints from the neighbours.
Later in the week the car was gone. Word on the street was his parents sold it and forced him to move out.

[Badger8]

Nice one Max, stick it to them!
And it is possible to show them up on a GN, just a little harder to do it with a straight up drag race :)

[revlikeshit]

Met an early 2000's subaru impreza(metalic blue...like the rally cars) at the lights the other day on my little rgv150,must have been a shock for him when after 50-60kmh (hit 3rd gear)i pulled a car length on him and held it to 120kmh as we came up towards the waikato stadium,where we both started becking off as the next light was changing orange to red.
The guy in the subaru bugged off round the corner and i was going strait through,but the fun was not over,an early 90's ford falcon had been trying to keep up with both myself and the subaru for a while,and pulled up next to me a couple of sets of lights later,i glance over, the driver winds down his window and says "so.....are we boosting?",i give the rgv a few revs,the guy revs back and rolls foward a little,light goes green,i take off slightly faster than normal(not a launch though),he keeps up though my first gear,i hit second,3rd and so on,i look in my mirror,hes trying his hardest to keep up but ive got a good lead and am still pulling away,i back off and start to brake around 120-130kmh,he decides to go right and hide his shame from other motorists.....so a 2.0L turbo car,and a 4.0L NA car,getting beat by a 150cc learner bike wearing a bright yellow 'L' plate, boyracers make me laugh what a joke haha.

[dave_a]

... my all time favourite (personal) story of boy racer stupidity...

I'm stopped at the lights (first set off the NW, heading past Westgate)... sitting on the trusty RF when young Mr Racer rocks on up beside me, guns his engine and obviously wants to have a go. Obviously proud of his car, he'd also obviously poured some considerable money into it but..

... IT'S A FUCKEN 323 STAIONWAGON!!!!!

I plead no contest and managed stop laughing about 25 mins later.

I own a 323 station wagon with over 200 kw atw and I know of one that has over 250 kw both so I wouldnt count them off that quick :msn-wink:

[ManDownUnder]

Point taken, but the sewing machine noise eminating from him gunning the engine was far from threatening. That and a couple of mates in the car futher skewing the power to weight ratio against him... he'd have been lucky to do a hill start

[Jantar]

I own a 323 station wagon with over 200 kw atw and I know of one that has over 250 kw both so I wouldnt count them off that quick :msn-wink:
Ho hum, :yawn:

This comes up so often its getting boring. Look, go and do the maths. 200 kW at the wheel in a car weighing 1300kg (with a driver and fuel) gives a PtW of less than 0.16; a bike and rider combination weighing less than 170kg only needs 27 HP to beat your 323 right through its speed range. This happens to be exactly what the RGV produces standard. With the lower overall gearing and close ratio gear box available, the RGV should win the drag at lower speeds but lose out at top speed.

Take on a ginny if you want to drag off a bike.

Edit: Ooops, It is kW. I did the calculation on HP. The equivilent PtW would be a 150 kW car of this weight.

[revlikeshit]

Got to agree there, i know this sort of thing comes up alot, but i just couldnt help telling one of my experiences proving the fact again.
Still time and time again,its just as amusing to see the look on the face of mr boyracer as his late model $20,000 turbo charged tin top gets beat by a purple 150cc leaner bike.
And most of these boyracer cars have knowwhere near 200kw atw, -ill admit, the odd one does,but most dont,and even then their nothing special.

Good to see someone actually knows what their talking about in terms of power to weight etc.cant agree more, my rgv standard has 26.5hp, weighs 103kg(dry),has a close ratio gearbox(pretty sure its based on a dirtbike bottem end-would explain why it has such a small sprocket on the back- as to gear it up), add to the fact i weigh just under 65kg, and compared to your average car its a recipe for alot better acceleration.

You'll need to revise what you think is fast, and what isin't, our old car turned 240kw at the treads, and ran a 12.3@115mph, even when we had around 200kw, it was running high 13's@97mph with a bung turbo.

What's the fastest rgv150 timeslip you've ever seen?

torque's a bitch, lucky rgv150's don't have any.

It's less a story, and more a statement, but it's a pain in the arse when you're sitting at the lights, and get some piss tiny bike splits up the middle and then it's slower than the two cars at the front of the queue.

[Jantar]

...our old car turned 240kw at the treads, and ran a 12.3@115mph, even when we had around 200kw, it was running high 13's@97mph with a bung turbo....

240 kW is over 320 HP, so yes, that should beat a 150 cc learners bike. :bleh:

As for standing 1/4 times; For small bikes like this they used to run standing 1/8 mile runs as the wee bikes would reach their effective top speed well before the end of the 1/4.

[Monsterbishi]

My point is even 200kw is more than enough to dispatch a 150cc 2 stroke bike, 1/8" mile or otherwise, if 1/8 mile is what they want to compare, we averaged 7.9sec with 240kw, and 8.1 sec on our 200kw setup.

There's no polite way to put it really, a bike that size will be beaten by anything remotely sporty.

[Jantar]

My point is even 200kw is more than enough to dispatch a 150cc 2 stroke bike,.....

And no-one has disputed that, Go back and look at the maths again. The comparison was between a 1300 kg car putting out 200 HP at a PtW of 0.16 Vs a bike with the same PtW of 0.16. The claim is that the bike should have the initial advantage, while the car will have the better top speed.

It was not a 200 kW car, that is one hell of a big difference. Even a 240 HP (180 kW) car should have thrashed the bike.

all the posts above me say nothing about 200hp, it's all in Kw.

[Jantar]

Sorry, you are right. I apologise. I made my calculation on HP. A 200 kW car will drag off the wee RGV 150. :Oops:

[warewolf]

A 200 kW car will drag off the wee RGV 150Remind me again, how much does a 200kW atw car cost? Would you describe it as a P.O.S.? How would it go against 99% of the bikes that aren't small Thai-made learner scoots?

:whocares:

[boonie]

i used to have a crappy chinese scooter. twas a 50cc thing and sounded like my lawnmower. being the provocative little shit that i am i put a green neon light on the bottom and cruised around at night looking for BRs to rev up.

When i found one this was my normal routine. At the next intersection pull up ontheir left hand side, turn on my neon and wink at the car whore girlfriend in the passenger seat before proceeding to lean forwards grab a handful of front brake and full throttle. watching his face drop as a 50cc scooter pulls a burnout next to his car is priceless. especially as they often drive shit-heap cars that are unable to do the same thing.

[Monsterbishi]

Remind me again, how much does a 200kW atw car cost? Would you describe it as a P.O.S.? How would it go against 99% of the bikes that aren't small Thai-made learner scoots?

Can pickup a cheapie WRX for well under $5k now, or a E84A Galant VR4, GTST Skyline, all can easily be pushed past 200kw with nothing more than a decent filter, exhaust and a boost tap.

200kw is enough to run a high 12, so anything under 400cc's is going to have a hard time not looking daft.

[Jantar]

Remind me again, how much does a 200kW atw car cost? I have no idea, but it wouldn't be cheap.

:whocares: :laugh:

[revlikeshit]

I think some people need to actually re-think what their saying, i didnt know this was the 'lets bag the rgv150 club'.
Firstly,i never claimed that my rgv150 could beat a 200kw atw car, all i said was that i raced an early 2000's subaru wrx(non sti)-(under 240hp@flywheel) and held a car length on him till 120 where we both started to back off, he didnt launch off the line,and neither did i,ill admit,with a good launch on a strip he would beat me 0-100(claimed is 6.1sec),but without a launch it made it hard for him to keep up.
And saying about 'your' 12sec 200kw car which could beat my rgv,do you actually think i care, your average boyracer car has nowhere near that sort of power and will not keep up with my bike from the lights.......my rgv will hit 100kmh in 7sec flat,im pretty sure if you look that up its faster than 95% of the cars on todays roads, yes the odd car may be faster,but most arent.

And wrx's for under 5K NZ,are we talking one that actually goes or one of the wing mirrors hahaha. And just because a car has 200kw does not mean it'l do a 12sec pass, holden v8's have 300kw and struggle to pull better than a 14sec 1/4 mile.
Compare apples with apples,yea, a 200atw KW car may beat my bike, but if all u can beat is a 150cc learner bike your pretty hopeless.

Put it this way,how many stock cars do you know of that can do 9sec and 10sec on street tyres.....and that people can actually afford....your average bike will make anything but the fastest of cars look slow.

[revlikeshit]

Oh,and just thought i'd mention,gtst's,and vr4 galants wont run 12's with just a filter and a boost tap like u say.
gtst's are only good for mid 14's standard,and vr4's are only good for low 15's.
Ive never had a car 'beat' me from the lights,and i get cars all the time wanting to go,says something about ur average car and ur average bike dont you think?-the bike is alot faster.

[quallman1234]

For the record.

Malcolm Nabbs 1998 Suzuki RG 150 15.3103 58.73MPH 94.52KMH (reckons he could get a high 14 if he had a couple more go's)

Thats an RG150 instead of an RGV150 Not sure what the difference of acceleration is.

The Majority of boy racer's put there foot down and drop the clutch. I reckon a decent rider/racer on the road who knows how to do a decent start could beat 90% of the so called boy racer's up to 120kmh or 100kmh.

[madandy]

That'd depend on what you think 90% of 'boy racers' are driving.
I know a good number of the little hoons and they all run 13's & 14's with not a turbo in sight.
Then I know guys that you may also call 'boy racers' and they drive 10 & 11 second cars, like mine.

[revlikeshit]

That time seems about average for an rg150 in my opinion,personally ive seen one do 14secs,also seen a suzuki bandit 250 do a 14.1sec 1/4 mile, and a kr150 do a 15.3sec 1/4 mile(both at nightspeed).

I know there may be a few cars lurking around that are just plain fast,even when compared to larger bikes,but i think this was actually more towards the 'boyracers' and less towards the true car enthusiasts who actaully have decent cars.
Your average car as i said before is not as fast as the figures your quoting, the odd car may but as ive found out most cars on the roads are pretty pathetic when you compare bike performance vs car performance, my bikes only a 150,and cost me $1400(with 14,00kms on the clock), uve got to keep it in context, i wasnt talking about taking on 12 and 13sec cars,just ur average boyracer,which i seem to meet alot at the lights.

[scumdog]

200kw is enough to run a high 12, so anything under 400cc's is going to have a hard time not looking daft.


How come my F100 with 350+KW will only do a high 13 second 1/4 and only needs 1st and 2nd to do it??

But it will also do over 135MPH top speed??

And weighs 2080kgm

Power vs' weight is not the WHOLE equation, drag comes into it - and traction too - and over all gearing.

[quallman1234]

My point was the majority of boy racer's out there who have big enough ego's to race little bikes probably don't know how to get to 100 as fast as a average rider.

There's a technique too getting there fast, as one would know if they had every had a go at a drag strip.

I reckon if a guy has a half decent car (with a go p to w ratio for a car) and has had a couple of go's at the drag strip, Then he should not have a problem picking off smaller bikes.

[madandy]

Yeah, I get it. Those wank stains in their clapped out 200000k early '90s Skylines, WRX, GSR etc. and of course the Honda shopping trollies and all the subgrade 1300-1800cc cars that were never anthing more than basic transport...but now featuring huge wheels and Artlliery shells for mufflers...
Don't mind me, I'm into pretty much anything fast with a piston engine. One day, when the Skyline's gone I want a boat but It'd need a gazillion hp to go fast enough for me on water, lol.

[revlikeshit]

I agree with the las couple of posts in that most boyracers will not beat a sub 250cc bike 0-100,the odd one might-(one that can actually drive,and is driving a decent car),but can we get out of this dream where for some reason alot of you think ur average boyracer drives a 12-13sec car,...fact is they dont your average car does not do 0-100 in 7secs flat, some do, most dont.I seem to be able to do consistant launches and have never been beat by a car from the lights, i think that tells us that proper fast cars are not as common as many people think.

[revlikeshit]

Just thought i'd add.that 1/4 mile for the 1998 rg150(15.3**sec@ 60mph-95 odd kmh) sounds weird,the time sounds about right although the trap speed seems like a half track(1/8 mile) figure,it should be traping-gearing dependant at 120-135ish kmh or there abouts.

I don't talk about my past on KB, for good reason prob, but to hell with it, I'm in a politically incorrect mood. :devil2: (btw, this was pre jap imprt days, just. So there was like about 1/3 of the traffic you get these days.)

20 years ago (oh gawd) I was out on my GSXR110K with my girlfriend (now wife). The bike did double duty as my race bike. It had black rep fairings and black tank, no stickers at all.

Because of my height, people used to ask me if it was a 250 :lol: Anyways, we were on the Hutt motorway heading to Wellies, and for a change I was being good. A boy racer in a V8 with a jacked up arse end and 'fats' as was high fashion for the boy racers of the day, went past. His girlfriend looked over at us and sneered, as he floored it and took off. :rolleyes:

Yes, xmas had come early! Now bearing in mind, we had completed more than 30,000 km's together as rider and pillion. To say we rode as one, was an understatement. As it was the boy racer's girlfriend that did the sneering, I decided to let my girlfriend be the one to blow them away. So, I leant forward and to the left. Knowing what that meant, she reached over grabbed the throttle, and took it over. We had gear changes sussed and she would chop the throttle long enough for me to change at about 10k. So we blew them away, but not to badly (smart girl) and they had another crack at us, so we got to do it again. :banana: When the motorway went three lane we passed them on the left so they could see it was my girl friend that was decimating them, we hooked it all the way up to top gear and 'pootled' off :lol: Ahhhh fun days, good times! :yes:

The best I have heard, but can't claim as my own, is the bike sitting beside boy racer at the lights.

Biker has spotted cop tucked away watching the intersection. Biker revs and starts inching forward. He eyeballs the boy and nods. Challenge accepted, it's all on. Bike gets real edgy now revving hard. Bike drops clutch .... and grabs brake. Boy is off ... through red light. Boy is toast.

[Fatjim]

Fuck 'sleeper' - I'm all pose - wheelie bars, 305x15" rears, mean rake, 'big-as-Dolly-Partons-tits bonnet-scoop', a cam that sounds like the lobes are the size of Mt Aspiring and a zorst note that rattles windows and sets off car alarms.

OK, in a 100 yard dash the average Jappa MAY clean me up but gimme a full 1/4 and/or a long uphill and it's Sayonara baby...well up to 135mph+ anyway.

Subtle eh?
Lucky you're the only cop in town, (except you missus), otherwise just starting the thing would get it put in "storage" for an unnecessary exhibition of acceleration, or is there an age limit on that law.

Your average car as i said before is not as fast as the figures your quoting, the odd car may but as ive found out most cars on the roads are pretty pathetic when you compare bike performance vs car performance, my bikes only a 150,and cost me $1400(with 14,00kms on the clock), uve got to keep it in context, i wasnt talking about taking on 12 and 13sec cars,just ur average boyracer,which i seem to meet alot at the lights.

To put this in perspective.

I commute almost everyday, and take it pretty easy from the lights. The bikes got to last, and thrashing it from the lights is just going to wreck stuff.

If while poodling from the lights , and when I say poodling I'm talking no more than half revs and 1/4 throttle, I see a car trying to keep up I know he's trying. Just poodling from the lights, a litre Vtwin does 0-50kph times cars just get in a lather over. Once I change into second a quick cars has usually got a wind up and I have to give the bike a bit more throttle, but its never a contest, unless I'm supprised and the car gets up a bit of speed from behind. But still, I usually have to give heaps in the gear I'm in, waiting for the revs to build, rather than changing down.

And this is one a SV1000, with a fat bastard on it.

Mind you, I don't see many 500HP 4wd nippers on the Hutt motorway, just 200hp wannabes.

Heres my take on all this...
I work at the local franchise (Subaru) and have also worked at Crowesport here in ChCh. I have seen it all when it comes to boy racers I gotta say.
One of the funniest things was trying to explain to a pimpled faced boy that fitting a blow-off valve to a GT auto was an ABSOLUTE WASTE OF FUCKING TIME AND MONEY! He wouldnt listen, we fitted it and he came back within 10 minutes asking why it wouldnt pishhh between gears......duh :baby::baby::baby
A lot of the Aisian Subaru owners spend megabucks on their rides, one guy spent 98K on a new sti WRX with 35k in accessories fitted! He got the works!!!
His parents pulled up in a new Merc and told the salesman, "only 100,000 dollar to spend...NO MORE!!!!"......true story.
Theres a young guy at work with a trick sti WRX that he says makes 300hp and does 11.2 secs. He wants a drag at the drag races with me on my K6 thou.
I said Id do it for $100. All of a sudden hes changing his mind...wonder why???
I told him the K6 will do 150ks in 1st gear....he laughed and said 'BULLSHIT".
Whos gonna win this drag??????? Im gonna do it just to humiliate him and give him a reality check :Playnice::baby::baby::baby:

To me if you play these games with the boy racers you are no better than they are. I would even go as far to say you are just boy racers on 2 wheels.

but there are 'boy racers' on two wheels. I know of atleast one 'rider' in CHCH who went to illegal burnouts on his FZR...got on the diesel and did a huge burnout...then lost it and crashed into a fence....work that out...LOL:Pokey: Although if you ask him he will deny it...but his 'mates' told his mum...

Not a big fan of boy racers. I tend to nail them at the lights when I get the chance, just for the fun of it (and on a cruiser, mind you), but I let them zoom past once I hit about 100kph as I don't want to finish toast racing them.

Last week, I was overtaking one at normal highway speeds when the idiot decided to exactly match my speed. I tried to accelerate and decelerate slightly to get him away, but he kept matching my speed. At 140ish kph, this was getting out of hand, so I looked carefully behind and gave a good brake down to 90kph and let him go. Don't want to play those crap games!
