    Ha! My lil FXR has a few special mechanical needs and does not idle so I have to blip the throttle to keep it running when at lights etc, it is also bucket racer as well as my commuter it is also nyloned and numbered up. It gets some body trying to race me every morning and while they are not always 'youngsters' they are usually always men.... I kind of feel sorry for them, not just cause they were beaten across the intersection by a girl but by an FXR!!!

    Its called the 'Traffic Light GP' in our house. We often use the lights as practice for our race starts. Can be a bit of fun, if your ego can take it!

    I finish work after 12 most nights and usually get this somewhere on moorhouse ave. I never take off quick, but instead just chuckle to myself. I am a little worried to be implicated in a street race though even when im doing nothing if a cop were to see.

    Haha! You guys have some great traffic lights down there. I like to watch a certain MV in my mirrors when we take off from them. Front wheel always points skyward cos of the gear on the back.
    Great race start practice!

    Yip even on the Hyosung was no problem to beat most cars off the TP-GP lights, did get owned by a limted edition V8 Commodore though, only losses on the Aprilia have been to other big bikes.

    That Commodore must have had a lot of work done to it then, because XR6 Turbos can't pull away from my GTI-R.

    I know that car and the orange XR6 turbo 4 houses from mine are big culprits at those lights. The orange one also does 90 in the 50 zone right past my house.

    I have nothing against cagers or boy racers on the whole but when they do even more stupid things than us then thats where I have the issue.
