Baited by a Lamborghini...

[Kiwi Graham:Me]

Thats the trouble with six figure priced cars, its only the old buggers that can afford it! You do get the occasional young gun with heaps of cash, heirs and lottery winners etc.

Years ago in the south of France heading out of a village, a perfect ribbon of tarmac ahead of us (me and a mate on near identical ZX9R B1's) came up behind a young guy in Porche Carrera 4. He checked his mirror, waited untill we were outside the village, I saw his hand go for the gear stick, I was ready....bike already sitting at 8k in 2nd in anticipation then he floored it.....the car sank about two inches on its suspension, howled and took off. I snapped the throttle, hunched over the tank, front tyre about a foot of the deck.........third, more of the same.....only faster, fourth, there is nothing in it!! I'd never come across a car that could hold station with a quick bike (well quick back then any way) we got upto 150 mph before sense took over. Yep a big buzz was had by all. The best bit was meeting up with him in the que for the ferry back to pomy land......he got the same buzz we did, he was one of those stock brokers from the city, heaps of cash and loved spending it.

Oh well older and wiser now.....good on ya for resisting the urge to give him a run for his money

I'm sure Bikes like the 09 CBR1000RR,R1,GSXR1000 K9 etc would flog one of those on a straight and round a corner,if ridden by a skilled rider.


Going on this data,you would have destroyed him in a drag race....

You got owned

[PrincessBandit]

He might be old, grey and wearing a cap but he's getting to hoof around in a Lambo and, for whatever reason, you're not. He's probably going to go home, bang a few models, snort some coke then knock it on the head and call it a quiet night.

Dave

Yeah - just cos you're old doesn't mean you don't have fun anymore!!! Go oldies!

Fuck yeah maaaaaaaaaan thats how we do it, but we snort the coke first and then bang the models.

Steve

Oh dear Steve, I sure do hope you don't bang the wrong models by mistake if you've already done your lines....

He is probably no different to most of us motorcyclists...... we have the power and adrenelin too, when tempted. Good on him, old or not. he is still out there having fun

As my first response, above - go old people!!

Trick with these guys is to give them a blip to get there adrenlin running and as the lighs change just let them go an not make a race of it.


As you pull up the second time they can not help but look at you. They no you never made a race of it and they all cocky Just flip ya lid and mouth 'sucker.' Fucks them every time, even better with a chick in the car............ya made them look a dick. Only had occasion to do this once some clown with his new Porche and bimbo next to him. She was a bit of allright though.

Hahaha, I like it. Sounds like a plan to me!

Now I sit back and await the grammar nazis telling me to stop using too many !!!!!!!!!s LOL

CarJam says

"Vehicle type: Passenger Car/Van"

Was it the Diablo Car or the Diablo Van? :slap:

[Fatt Max]

When you hear a Lambo or Ferrari light up you realise that all those children in Evos and WRXs are merely playing at sports cars.

Classic.....so true as well.......but they are all fucking cages at the end of the day and driving a Lambo, Hambo, Rambo or whatever the fuck they call them does not make your willy bigger.......unless you glue it to the exhaust pipe, tie yourself to a lamp post and let the fucker drive off......now that would make your willy bigger, eh.......

Reminds me of the joke about the Irishman who shagged a Princess, he got his todger stuck in the exhaust.....geddit, geddit.......fack, sorry...

Maybe you would, but cars like that will piss all over a bike in the corners

[Gremlin]

Closest I've had a car come to beating me was an AMG CL65... 6 figure AMG's have got a lot under their hoods... Possible his limiter made him lose but that CL fucked off from the line in a hurry.

Here's a very appropriate video link for this thread. Lambo vs Duke

Diablo would get eaten by any decent bike 600cc+, search up 'fulltilitlife' on youtube, heaps of car v bike, bike v bike, and car v car roll races(done properly)....

Lambo's arent actually that fast, well compared to bikes atleast... maybe top end but anything sub 180 odd mph, no chance. Seen many a car and bike run at the drags and raced plenty to know.

All about trap speed/acceleration, look at diff between 100-200kmh....
Something even 'fast' cars lack compared to bikes.

zx10r, fz1, busa all eat this vette for breakfast, and the vette eats the lambo.....

[The Everlasting]

Yeah seen all those vids,all the bikes are beating the vette...

[Muppet]

Silly old fucker! Don't be tempted, by chasing him you're giving him what he wants, even if you beat him. I was overtaken by a punk in an old BMW 320i a few years ago en route to Napier from Taupo. I was on a CBR954RR and on a big trip. I thought of chasing him and showing him up, but thought better of it. Anyways I get around a bend and the highway patrol were writing him a ticket. I slowed down and made sure he saw me laughing! Classic!
