Laughable would-be bike/car drags

I used to like to go to Turat Hill Maccas to stirr up the P platers.
One time I was at the light & a V6 commodore starts revving its tits
off next to me with a car load full of wankers.

I let them get a car lengths ahead of me for about 100m and you could
see em in the back cheering as they thought they were beating me.
Then just to show them I was only fscking with them I overtook em on
the back wheel and left em for dead. For some reason they were very
subdued at the next lights.

I could have just dragged them off, but its more fun to let em think
they are winning then take off into the horizon just to show that you
wree only playing.

Which reminded me of the time a mate of mine was riding my Honda 80cc
Scooter (Lead[1]) which was a bit of a come down from his usual Norton,
and he was savagely cut off by a taxi. He gave pursuit, caught it at the
lights and gave the panels a massage. Picture it! Six foot, heavy set
bikie, kicking at taxi from the saddle of an 80cc scooter.

He was very offended that I was laughing my socks of behind him.

Davey,

Would I think that?!

Weather permitting should be doing a 9.45ish run tomorrow morn....

Whoo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only condition is..... I don't want to HEAR the words "Critically
analyse" for the next three months, plllleease!

I like to muck them around a bit more than a straight drag..... I
like to leave the lights and let them keep pegged while I look over
with a little look of struggling to match them and generally the birk
leers with satisfaction.... THEN I just open the throttle and hoon off
into the wild blue yonder.... oh so good!



Good to remember this tho.....

Speaking of dangerous encounters.... once, when living in London all I
could afford was a pushie but still rode like a maniac... one day this
city-toff in his Jag cut me off in the wet and I hit the brakes and
managed not to run up the back of his beautiful bloody car... (we know
who's fault THAT would have been!) but then he cut me off again, so I
rode alongside his window next lights and bammed it as hard as I could
with my fist. I think someone might have lost a lot of money on the
markets that day, or didn't get his long lunch, as he jumped out and
came running after me.

I leaped the bike up on to the footpath and whilst still on it, this
guy comes bounding up and says, Come on, get out, you want to fight,
I'll fight ... and his fists are raised! Well, I was kind of
diminutive at 20 but managed to point out I wasn't "in" a car but
actually on a pushbike and was he going to hit a girl in front of all
these people? (quite a crowd) And fortunately he muttered something
about suing for damage and buggered off back to his car, at which time
I jelly legged it home!

Kate.

 

Hehe. Loooove the stereotyping. Noice!

In an earlier life when I had a nice new Yammy DS6 250 (anyone remember what
year that must have been? 1970/71?) I dragged a Porsche from some lights, coming
south off the Cahill Expressway somewhere near where that BMW place is now. It
was no contest as Porches back then were not powerhouses, and very late at night
I wasn't worried about being pinged by the coppers. But as I went past the
redline in third I busted a piston ring. The clatter from the motor made me feel
a bit ill (new bike and it sounded like an expensive repair coming up). I was
already stopped when the Porsche went past. I hobbled home to Wollongong very
slowly that night.

That is when the keys come out.

although when i'm riding the pushy, keys are usually in the backpack hard
to reach.

 

Over on the US Riceboy home page (a bit dated though funny)
http://www.riceboypage.com/
There is a story about a guy with a Hyundai Excell in the "Classic Rice"
gallery, in the photo the name "Hyundai" is painted up each side of the car.
The guy who owns it knows it's not that quick but goes hunting for ricers in
their Civics etc and when he does win he wants them all to know they got
done by a Korean car.

I wasn't even aware of it the other day... I was in the right lane
crusing home from an afternoon up at the black spur and some guys
leaned out of his window and yelled 'Don't even bother buddy' and
laughed at me. I was pretty puzzled - I wasn't aware I was even being
dragged all I knew there was a car with a louder exhaust than I had
next to me. So he takes off again in a great hurry and I spot it's a
fake Lancer Evo, complete with a light puff of blue smoke eminating
from the back (nice one bruvva, wreck your rice mobile).

Pulled up next to him at the next set of lights (predestrian) and he's
sitting there laughing. I don't think I'd got the Fazer over 5,000
revs the whole time. He obviously didn't see me pissing myself
laughing at this guy cause my helmet was obscuring the vision.

The next thing I wanted to to was hand a left down a slip lane which
did a 90 degree turn onto the Eastern Fwy then a 180 degree turn soon
after before the freeway started and merged into one lane. Lancer man
decides to go from the middle lane of three, cut across in front of me
and get onto the two lane part of the freeway entrance. So I decided
to keep up, in the adjacent lane - but just behind in case ricey lost
it half way thru the 180degree corner. On the way out of the corner
after he had straightened up I just wound back the throttle and leant
forward. Until this point I had really never given a 600cc bike what
for (cause I've only really owned it for winter and have only just be
commuting on it). FHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK it's PHHHUNNN!

I fairly quickly backed off to a hundred once on the freeway proper.
He caught up later and I'm just looking at him, riding along, shaking
my head. He's looking straight ahead, not wanting to turn sideways.

To all you guys who ride big bore bikes, I take my hat of too yas!
You must have arms of steel to hang onto those buggers when you let
the bike rip!

J

 

Oooohhh yeah - it is fun, no doubt.

Yes, the addiction is certainly real. I would probably require arms of
steel on the 'Bird if I weighed anything, but at 75kg it's not too bad.

Nice one - good thing the driver wasn't too hostile - the old car vs. bike
equation isn't too heavily weighted on the bike side!

Be careful there. Cops often park in the emergency lane under the bridge on
the southbound onramp and they'll clock your speed when you merge with the
northbound onramp lanes... make sure you back off before you get to the end of
the shrubbery on the right hand side obscuring their vision.

When you got your l plates, didn't they tell you to hang on with your knees?

I dragged of a Postie once.
Almost had him, until he stopped at the next letterbox.

 

Ditto that! Thankfully [this is the keyboard speaking] Yours Truly had just
finished my drink prior to reading.

On my pushbike here in Melbourne, left lane going left, two middle lanes
going straight, I was in the left lane and needed to go straight, a taxi
once cut me off after I had indicated right, headchecked and then started
committing to the turn. Needless to say he must have been doing quite a fair
bit of speeding and/or not quite acceptably fast lane changing to get there
in the mean time. My right steering frontal extension, whatever they are
called (MTB) had a nice scrape alongst the entire bit of his taxi as I was
leaned into it... for some reason I managed not to fall when he had passed.
Lucky, because with the traffic behind it could have gotten quite nasty. And
for some other reason he didn't stop but just kept going into the left turn
....

On two occasions in Norway taxis have tried to squeeze me off the road on a
section where two lanes merged into one. Or just aggressively overtaking
with no sight of the road ahead, suddenly seeing oncoming traffic and then
conveniently forgetting I was there trying to merge back in. On both those
occasions, let us just say their side panels were not in the same state as
they were before, with one _very_ pissed off yours truly [at the time much
more fit than now] making them just cower rather than try and argue their
innocense. (Right there with you Kate...!)

Maate - now I know you're lying. If you're not, then it's probably because
he fell asleep watching you take off...

You just have to do a track day my man!

 

Hehe, I was cycling home from work one day (that's the type with pedals and
no engine) when, coming down my street, I was buzzed by some smartarse kid
on a moped. He was going over to the shops across the road from where I
lived so while he was in the shops I parked up the pushie and rolled out the
GT750 Kwak. I didn't do anything just sat in my driveway on the Kwak and
watched him as he rode back up the street. The little git was so wrapped up
with looking over his shoulder he nearly stacked it over a kerb.

I'd hardly call it a great match-up, but then I dont get many
opportunities round here (only two sets of traffic lights). On the way
to the GP in '96 on the fizzer, I was at a set of lights and I thought
I'd give this lane splitting thing a go. Get to the front, cement truck
on my left, shitty brown magna on my right. Magna revs a couple of
times, I raise my eyebrow and look over to see two clowns in shirts and
ties.

I think ahh **** it, lights go green, magna chirps the tyres and
eventually catches up to me a few km's later while I'm waiting for my
mate to catch back up (he didnt lane split). Shouldnt be cruel to dumb
animals, but it *was* bloody good fun.

The only one that I ever bothered with, was a local chap in his Porsche
turbo. (son of a very successful construction company owner)

I mean to say, if you're gonna drag anything, make it worth your while.

Then there was this chap in a WRX recently, coming back from Mallacoota.
It was absolute insane stuff. One of the mates on his R1 had to do
something like 260km/h to get past the Rex..
