Big truck - fast bike - GO!

[ChuckBecker]

Riding a bike attracts all sorts of stupid challenges. There are three approaches. Get it over with quick. Or lurk, then pounce (to the dipshit in a green Escort who passed me in the merge lane, then got *ahem* PASSED). Or just go home and crack open a BV.

i dont mind a little competition. But i dont understand how he beat you off the line.

wait...did he? If he beat you to 75...that means there's something wrong with your bike, or your wrist isnt working too well.


i love it when i get to race cars up to 45mph and i get off the gas...obviously, i can get to 45 in like 2 seconds...and they're 3 cars behind me punching it. They zoom pass me at 70 while i'm coasting and 45 and CHP lights them up down the block.

hasnt happen yet, but i've done it in hopes they get a ticket.

If you think drag racing after a beer or two is a challenge, you should certainly take it to the next level and try it with psychedelic mushrooms. Then you might have an excuse when the 4x4 smokes you.

Beer is good! Lots of beer is bad. I truely only had one small beer and it did not effect my judgement. So I got caught in the moment and took off after the guy, but when the speeds got too fast I backed down, and I mean to the speed limit, but he kept accelerating, and to speeds that I thought were too fast for the area.

I think I'll go have a beer!

You don't have to explain yourself to peeps on this forum.

And if you hit 75 then you still raced him in city limits

if you can't destroy any car, any where, on a 500cc bike or higer, then you must suck.

how can you post that you were chumped by a 4X4? do you know where the throttle is? lame.

Sig: "I never drink and ride...I would never allow riding to interfere with my drinking."

Post: "I stopped by the pub for a quick beer and left."

Then you proceed to race on surface streets with a much-larger-than-you F150. Were these the smartest choices you made today?

OWENED

the question you have to ask yourself is: would you have been going that fast on a city street if you didn't have that beer?
the first thing that alcohol attacks is our judgement, so if you been drinking you ain't thinking.
I'm not saying I'm a saint but after a close call with a pint in me I reevalutaed drinking and riding.

I went for a ride through twisties this afternoon, and missed out on summer, which ended at around 3 pm today with a 20 degree temperature drop. After the ride I stopped by the pub for a quick beer and left. On the way home from the pub I split lanes at a stop light (3 lanes wide), and when it turned green I see this giant raised Ford F150 with over sized tires TAKE OFF!

So typical. This happens all the time. Ricers, smalldickgianttrucks, or jealous 40 somethings, all want to race riders at any stoplight where you have split lanes to get to the front.

Fuck 'em all. I don't play that shit. Go ahead and take off and fly and brag to your friends how you outran a guy on a sportbike.

Real men would say something like "See you at the track" But then they'd find out how SLOW they really are.

I save shit like that for the track, where it belongs.

Ford resurrected the Lightning in 1999. With its new F-Series body the Lightning now came equipped with a 5.4L Triton V8 and an Eaton supercharger helping pump out an astounding 120 more horsepower than the previous generation. The Lightning's 360 horsepower and 440 ft-lbs. of torque made it the fastest production truck in the world doing 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds, a title still held today. The twin short-and-long-arm suspension was lowered 1/2-inch up front and the solid axle, five leaf-spring rear suspension lowered 2-inches over the standard truck's three-leaf units. Little changes were made for 2000.

And the GSXR1000 has a 0-60 of about half that. So what is your point?

Statement #1:

Immediately followed by statement #2:

So I got caught in the moment and took off after the guy

I'm speechless...

Too bad the police weren't around to bust your ass. What's the point of even trying?

Like it was mentioned before, a 500cc bike should have done the job but you're on a GSXR 1000.

One thing to know about people who admit to drinking, especially drinking while driving, to know how much they really drank, you've got to multiply what they said they drank by 2. Even that is a conservative way of finding out how much people really drink. If there is an award to give you for this post, it is the Honerary Asshat of the Day Award.

So who has the small dick complex?

A guy in a truck of the style that he likes, who enjoys going fast, and maybe even moreso enjoys seeing other "toys" go really fast (like sportbikes) but most likely knows that his truck could not compete with a sportbike?

Or the guy on a sportbike who gets offended by a truck "trying to race" him, then sits and stews on an internet site with his buddies about how he "could have wasted him"?



I personally always try to get bikes to fly/wheelie/etc when I get next to them in a car/truck. I REALLY enjoy watching sportbikes go fast or wheelie.

I wonder how many of them go back to their buddies and pound their chest at how they "wasted this dumbass cage", or how they "could have" wasted them if they wanted to?


I think you guys need to rethink the "small cock complex" thing and figure out who it truly applies to in these situations.

I think that's more accurate when discussing number of sexual partners, isn't it? Geeze...not sure about the people you know, but I know plenty who actually have the self-discipline to have one beer and one beer only if they're riding. I've never met Canyonrat, but he's one of the more level-headed posters on this board. If he says he had a 10 oz. beer, that's good enough for me.

 

[CoorsLight]

slydrite, pvd, silverbelt, and bad dad:

Your comments are insightful and accurate.

Canyonrat:

Why would you want to race any 4 wheeled contraption? Didn't the conditions make this a dangerous decision? And then to lose the race, and then to post up about it...

No wonder people hate motorcyclists and our small dicks.

 

[lefty]

CanyonRat-

If we ever meet- I'd love to buy you (and me) a small beer.

We can laugh about all of those people who talk smack on the internet, but yet drink like fish, at their Sisters wedding, company party, sloshball game, 9'er games- then drive home.

Remember what they say about glass houses.....
