Beat a sportbike?!?!?

StoplightWarrior · 04-06-2001, 01:21 AM

This happened on Saturday but I was afraid to post is cause I thought you guys would call BS on me. It happened though, so I figured Id post it and you can tell me how or why it happened.

I was at a light next to a red honda bike, I think it said zxr1000 on it, but dont quote me on that. It was some asian guy with his girl, and we looked at each other, but I think he knew I didnt want any. I told my passenger that I was going to launch soft, but if the bike took off, I was gonna go for it, just to see how well I could do. When the light changed, I launched soft, and he was at my bumper, but then my adrenaline kicked in, and I floored it. He could obviously hear my exhaust, and he gunned it as well. His engine was screaming, and we took it up to about 85, with him at my door the whole way after I got the jump.

The next light went yellow, so I started braking, and I was like, "**** , Im gonna get toasted now that he knows Im game." He smiled at me at the light, and gave me the thumbs up. The light changed and I floored it. He got the jump on me this time, but I slowly pulled on him, and at about 80 I was ahead, so I shut it down. We caught the next light, but it was in the town, so there could be no match. I rolled the window down, and said, "nice bike, good race!" He nodded and gave me the thumbs up again, and his girl waved to me. I took the next left, and I was shaking for like an hour afterward. My bro, who was with me, was shocked too.

OK, let me say that it seemed in every way to be a legit race. Also, I know what my car is capable of, maybe 13.9 on the best day of my life, so Im not posting some BS saying I got a freak or something. The only things I can think of are that his bike wasnt one of the fast ones + he had a passenger, or that he wasnt going all out, but it REALLY seemed like he was. Why would he stay at my door both times if he wasnt really racing? Anyway, this is my most surprising kill yet, what do you all think?
