raced a custom bike that was loud as hell,harley like but not. at the next light he told me "damn, thats a fast truck", as he was hot rodding upto me previously and was obviously in a hurry-

In a fit of reckless frustration, and rage. I pushed my Black one to it's physical limits on State Road 441 against what looked like a DUCATI Supersport 1000. We pulled up to the red light light, me jamming to KORN at 150+DB, him looking all sport like solid black, apparently he didn't like how loud the music was, so he revved his bike to what seemed like a deafing red line. I turned the music down, and quickly hit the rev limiterJohn Hennessey said:
The light turned green. He's up on one wheel, steadily pulling away from me as I stay at 4k+rpm through 3rd gear, at this point he has me by 4-5 bike lengths, I catch him at 130mph and blow by him with the needle burried, while shifting into 5th, glanced up and was getting 1.8mph. I suspect he had some mechanical difficulties, got scarred, or backed off. In either event he got bit. Can't wait to come up against him in the Red or Silver one Craig
It depends on what bike you pick a race with.....
choose your opponents carefully
I only have a little Hemi...
but I'll give you some free bike advice
I have a 2002 ZX-12R...
it dyno'ed at 179.6 rwhp, and it weighs a little over 500 lbs
I have only ran the 1/8 mile track,
and my bike is set up for the twisty stuff..
I still went:
1/8 mile = 6.5 @ 115
Typical 1/4 mile times are 9.8"s @ 143-148
My derestricted bike's top speed 194
The PMB on my name is the color of my bike ... " Pearl Mystic Black"
Even the 600 class bikes are running 10's in the 1/4 mile ...
you may have a chance against some cruiser bikes ...
and you can probably take most Harleys, except a V-Rod

Sure are ...
all the new literbikes { R1, CBR1000RR, GSXR1000, ZX-10R }
all run easy low 10's at 138-43
The ZX-12 and Hayabusa are high 9 second bikes stock
with the right rider of course

Well, put it to you this way, Craig's twin turbo Ram SRT on 6 psi and about 580 rw hp beat down a 600cc sport bike from 60-120 by about 10 truck lengths. Could there be anything more fun than beating down a bike guy with a 5300 lb. truck? I'm still laughing.MarkPMB said:It depends on what bike you pick a race with.....

It's always fun to beat a bike with a car/truck...
rarely happens, but is possible.
Just remember the bike you raced was no more than $8000 new..
I have $11,500 in my bike total ...
nothing on 4 wheels has come close in the past 2-1/2 years...
I'm always looking for some worthy competition

Are you guys familiar with the video that was circulating a
few months back?
A very sweet Viper { car } owned by " Manny" ?
Anyways... 883 rwhp... lots of mods..
facing a few different bikes.
It does well against the stock Hayabusa, about an even match.
The first 12 minutes or so is of the stock bike,
then the fast bikes take over.
It's worth a look if you have not seen it...that Viper sounds sooo good
I love all things with speed...so I am happy either way
enjoy if you have not seen it
right click and "save target as "

Good idea with the back off. The last thing you need is a motorcycle in your hood scoop. Trust me... a bird does enough damage. Plus it would have been your fault.
I watched that video earlier and all I got to say is DAMB!!! Those bikes are fast to begin with, but to have a 3000 lb car hangin/passin them, just blows my f'n mind. I couldn't believe it. That is just flat amazing that a car can go that fast that quick. I want one.
oh, and I really appreciated the "**** beat him" comment. If you don't mind I think I'll try to work that in around here. I was cracken up when I read that... strickly because I see alot of harley riders around here, with there EXTREMELY loud and obnocious exhaust... and they think it's the coolest sound in the world. Makes me want to **** beat a couple of them every once and awhile( see, I'm workin on it), and not with my truck.

HAHA.. Well, I drive agressively (not prloud of it, just a fact). I bought the damn things to drive the piss outta 'em. I figure, I don't drink and drive, nor talk on the cell phone. So I got a pretty good shot of being in control at 100mph+ than those idiots. I've been pulled over approx 8 times now. Still no tickets, just about 10+ hours of time pissed away talking about the truck on the side of hot ass highways. If you do get pulled over, just offer to let the officer take it for a test drive, that'll get you outta the ticket. Especially if you ask him to stop by your house/business when he's off duty, for some reason they eat that "s" upMarc T said:
