I ran a Jaguar XJR from a light a few months ago….it was a kick. We mostly just rolled it on at about 20mph. I was pretty surprised to see him right on my fender in the rear view up to 70 or so….. didn’t realize those things are 400+ hp. He gave me a thumbs up when I let off and he rolled by.

I had some dude in a Z06 pull along side me at about 65mph on a divided highway in the city and do the romp on it thing. LOL I wanted no part of that. He tore off flooring it. It was quite a site to see him roar past what must have been 100mph.

I got me a $140 speeding ticket a few weeks ago…..69mph in a 50 zone…..reduced to 60mph in a 50…. It puts a damper on my need for speed.

That's because people just want to stay close enough to you to watch you. You know how "those biker chics" are about raising their shirts.

Testosterone. Gotta love it. Takes a few years of maturity to handle it.

I never had anyone do the whole lets race thing while on my bike. Of course who in their right mind is gonna do that to a guy riding a geezer glide.

Ah, you guys are very nice...but really, I've never raised my shirt while riding, that's very dangerous (but hey, if a Jaguar pulled up along side me with a Sam Elliott driving, well....all bets are off, among other things)

Not much chance of that here in our small town, only 1, 4 lane and its a 40 speed limit.

Now tailgating is a different story and another post.

I'm not one for racing around but I knew the road, I knew 55 MPH was coming up and there were no intersections. So, what the hell?" I'm doing fifty in 5th gear @ 2100 rpms when we came up on the sign. I didn't bother dropping it into 4th I just opened it up and went into sixth around 80 and looked in my rear view mirror at 100, he was fifty yards behind me so I backed off. I felt that was sufficient. Then he comes roaring past me (Several seconds later) as if to say "I won!"

Seriously what was he thinking?

I was riding the Screaming Fat Bob.
I've had that happen but since I can hit 100 in 2nd I usually don't even look in my mirror unless it's a Hyabusa
