LOL, I never had any delusions of actually doing it. I was taking the long way home and had some free time... and his chick had a nice little ***.

After I posted this, I went for a ride and had a guy on a 250cc scooter with some kind of exhaust system try to take me at every light. I let him go for a few feet then layed into him. I felt like a kid who got beat up at school then came home and hit his sister.

LMAO! Yeah, another poster said that I'd get my pants blown off by a 600 as well-I hold no delusions that I can take a sport bike (my first bike was a FZR 400 and could probably blow the Nighty away).

That's too funny you took it out on a scooter. I live on a pretty steep hill and had a Vespa following me up. When the hill got steep I could hear him winding it up-I was afraid he wasn't going to make it! No hottie on the back though.

Long time ago a guy in the local bar carrying a helmet and leather jacket was talking up the cutest little barmaid you ever saw. I was listening and he talked her into leaving with him when she got off. They walked outside and she saw the crotch rocket he was riding, turned up her nose like the harley girl she was, and said "I don't ride those" and marched back inside. Everyone was howling with laughter. The crotch rocket rider just plain old left. Yeah, chicks would probably rather be riding on the back of the sportster.

That is the Ghost Rider on that 500hp Turbo Busa. If you want to be awed and entertained, just look him up on YouTube, especially the Uppsala Run.
I would bet the guy is one of the 5 best riders on the planet, and huge *****.

Guy should have been a fighter pilot. Enjoy these while we can.

Unfortunately, some of the sportbike guys are giving all of us riders a bad name. After this incident I'm sure we'll see something coming from our local government.

From what I have heard, he has been doing this for 7-8 yrs or more, never been down, or caught. He also runs from the police in his 600whp Subaru WRX on YouTube.

I guess in Sweden the LEO's are quite tame about high speed chases and such......

Wow. What a bunch of douchebags. However, I saw no mention that the guys in question were sport bike riders.

Watch the video: http://tukwila.komonews.com/content/...taunting-biker

This ain't Harley riders. How many of them do wheelies and hit 100 in groups?
