Why do cars just wanna always take on the bike?

A fun thing to do when I had the GSXR was to take off not that slowly from some lights on the Hutt Road when there was a boy ricer car around, usually when it was full of girls. You know the type, guy wants to show off. Anyway, you proceed down the motorway at a legal speed. After a minute you see them in your mirrors approaching quickly in the other lane.

So you chop down from 6th to 3rd and wait for them to just pull up next to you, lean forward and open the tap all the way. You only need to hold it for a second and you are well in front again. Then of course the police paranoia kicks in and legal service returns, back down to a legit speed.

Yeah, it's macho 'my dick is bigger than yours' but it's good for a laugh as they pass you a bit further down the road.

... Probably par for the course if you ride a Gixxer (cheap shot and I reluctantly apologise).

...

Oi you...apology reluctantly accepted.
I feel so ripped off tho...no-one has ever given me the 'eyebrow waggle' at the lights. Would I take their offer on??? Who knows. But why bother I guess.
Out on the open (closed, of course) road I suppose I could always let them think they're gunna beat me....wait until their shitbox is topped out, then I change into 2nd...Hah!!

Bloody gixxer hoon!

I take great delight in hosing off these tryhards on my 32 year old 850-T Guzzi
To add insult to injury its got the standard very quiet pipes & the usual Guzzi loud tappet rattle & looks like an old shitter.... perfect for giving boy ricers the learn

Bloody gixxer hoon!

How well you know 'the type'....O! Re-badged One

Can't wait to get the loud pipe for the twin

Yea its a crack up when bikes are capable of speeds of 250 -300kmph and then you see a rust bucket nana car station wagon or some shitty old supermarket basket come up behind you and try and "take you on" for some reason they think miraculously their vehicles turn into the fastest vehicle on the planet.

I think its called dreaming.

I just let them go past - that way they feel real good when they skite to their mates that their shitty old unwarrented rust bucket with bald tyres and crappy suspension is faster than a sport bike

I'd only had the bird a few days a few years back and was intent on out-dragging a Mercedes SLK from some traffic lights in Hamilton. I was a bit handy with the clutch and bloody near looped it. Another good reason for showing restraint

Now that you mention your merc, I remember cruising up to a set of lights half a year back, just pootling along. 3 lanes went around a curve onto a bridge. Sitting on far left, as I ease off for the green, I hear this roar to my right, and find a Black CLK AMG getting a real good start.

Well... I couldn't let him have all the fun, so thought, what the heck, and chased him round the curve (on the outside). Struggled with traction all the way round, the twit ran a little wide onto the bridge, so I had to back off. Once he regained control, I passed

Being that those things have large engines with some serious horsies, and cost a massive wad of cash... I still made it look slow past 240

240km/h?

Yeah, sounds like those car drivers are real dick-heads huh?

[Gremlin]

Yes... definitely... I had to show him the error of his ways

No-one in front... was at a quieter time of the day, no side roads, etc

See, this is the weird thing. I haven't had anyone take me on since I got the 6R. I used to get it all the time on the little FXR but not now. I mean I've been at lights next to boy racers and thought "here we go" and they just dawdled off the line. Is the green beast too scary for them??

Nah, I think it's just that the cattle find the green colour very relaxing

Recently had an older guy in a late model Alfa take off from some lights on the motorway in the lane next to me and cut me off. I changed lanes to get away from his looney arse when a mufti comes up behind and pulls him over while he was still doing his small cock acceleration move. Sucked to be him.

I used to have a nifty fifty, and I would laugh every time I would get away quicker at the lights than the boy racer cars.

But it wouldnt matter if you were on a scooter or a ZZR1100, you would still beat him in a race because your the man. Hell, a 1200HP modded V8 supercar would stand a chance aganst you and your ZXR250...you are SKIDMARK...no one is a better rider/driver than you.

You rock

Sorry, rant over...every post by that "kid" is some how link to his super large EGO.

Ive never had the problem of some one trying to drag race me...maybe its because Gisborne is full of old people still living in the 1800's.

yeah had a guy recently ish....

give me a go in his hotted up wrx version 8 (i think)....

after bugeye model so ur talking pretty new
full body kit spoiler......... nice wheels...nicely lowered (for better cornering not no springs on bump stops)

all the gauges on the pillar etc...

riding along thru botany i'm going along at 60 ish ...come up beside him...sees me we are side by side for a few seconds i open my visor and say nice car...get back...cheers bro..then he drops it down...and plants it...wasnt expecting it at all aye...
i was like arg...i was in 3rd on my iddy biddy 250...could be arsed downshifting......

but he was staggered ahead because i wasnt prepared to race.....

and hes going full tit...i'm just sitting there thru the gears going...shouldnt this thing be creaming my bike...he keeps looking in his mirror...and gradually i'm catching up...but i had to back off as he was about to plow into a van so gave him room to get back in lol

of course this is all just hearsay and i'm quite likely talking a load of smack and this event never actually happened
