Vroooooooommmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeoooowwwwwwwww.......... ...

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.

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.

That of course was when I was a low-life yahoo freezing worker doing all manner of shit..

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
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

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.

[Nade]

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 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!
