ran a bike and almost got to line up with another cobra!

Snakeman · 09-19-2001, 02:08 AM

the bike was some 600cc or so crotch rocket...i didn't think i'd have a chance in hell, but we got a light, and i kept right with him after i stopped spinning (3rd gear)! I didn't think the shift light went out until 3rd gear, anyway...

not bad, also because i had a 300lb friend riding shotgun!

i saw a black cobra turning at the light, but didn't realize that he was turning around so we could race...I got into the left turn lane and was waiting for the light when i heard the engine rev, looked over and there he was in his beautiful black cobra, a mirror image of my own, only lacking the racing stripes (and lacking a blower from the sound of it

).

what fun!
the car gets so many looks!
i love it!

pics tomorrow, cuz i was too busy driving it today!
