Had a guy in a Ford Lighting try me once on the Freeway when I had my 04LE, I played with him like a cat plays with a mouse, after I grew tired of him I left him like he was sitting still. I really think for a second he thought he was keeping up.
 
I did the same with a Subaru WRX on the loop in Raleigh, NC. My bike is low and streched and he must have mistaken me for a 600 or something. He pulled around me swerving and bumping the throttle. I dropped to 3rd and kept bumping mine. After 6 bumps we held it. It was so not close. Looked like he threw it in reverse.

Then had a Neon of all things try me in my home town. I left him and turned around and met him. His girl was clowning him from the shotgun.

Had a guy in a vette do that to me, going down Bannister rd. Light to light, I let him beat me, made him think I was giving it all she had. Man, he was cracking up, his girl was besides him smiling as I pulled up along side of him. We were at the entrance to the on ramp to 435 N, I had the outside lane he had the inside, we turn right, he nails it again, their heads go back, he's in it for all she's worth, he's about five car legnths ahead of me. when I open a can of whoop a$$ on him, pass him on one wheel, drop second, front end comes up again, slow down about a half mile down the road to let him catch up, he won't even look over at me, but his girl friend is dying laughing at him, pointing and everything. I know I made his day.

"THAT'S THE VIPER FROM THE FREEWAY"

.......I was WOT in every gear from 2nd on up (@80mph roll on), I stabbed it hard and he was "right" back there somewhere within visual.....I had no idea he was a "sleeper"...
coffee.gif
as I have buried Viper's in the past......"that's what made this encounter so peculiar, in a way", as when I snap (excuse the pun) that throttle hard, especially at speed, I'm shooting for distance, RIGHT NOW, as I want to leave the challenger stunned, and not considering the rematch. I'm not one that takes playing on a freeway lightly. I just want enough distance, that I can go back to going about minding my own Busa-Bidness.........When he swung out onto my tail we had at least a mile and a half to that Far Hills stoplight. I figured, if nothing else, I'd slide to the right, and he'd roar on by........when he slipped up on the left smiling as we were slowing down and gesturing....I got the "cool" vibe off of this character......

PS That's the dumb thing about being a Hayabusa Pilot, after a while, "Who needs to prove ANYTHING" to "ANYONE"

Most of the time, I just let the clowns think I will race them at a light and let them go and just put along. I had a vette with a guy almost twice my age messing with me and his girlfriend that looked like a teenager. He hit it hard and I pulled up next to him at about 80, the road ahead was clear, Hit it mildly, and dusted him up to around 140 then had to alow down for traffic. I looked over at him and his girlfriend was laughing at him, he would not look at me. I would have not messed with him, but hey, he was old enough to know better and thought I would help his mid life crisis out a little.
 
Hey it is a thrill to mess around like that regardless of the outcome. During a ride through Germany some years ago I was minding my own business on the autobahn when a banged out SL600 AMG pulled alongside me to run. We had a lot of clear road ahead but since it was after dark on an unlit road I didn't hit maximum speed simply staying alongside to over 160 using his better headlights. It was fun and the guy hit the hazard lights as he pulled off the 'bahn in acknowledgement.
