A coupla weeks ago, I had a guy on a Valkrie try to outrun me...
I was easing along about 75 or so and this ZZTop looking biker pulls up beside me, looks at my bike, and then pins it...
I just stayed with him till he topped out...
Which, by the way was more than I thought possible...
I have a Speedohealer now and I was showing a true 130...
I was impressed...
At that point I waved at him and twisted it up to about 160 and then backed off till he cought back up...
We rode the rest of the way into Ingleside together at 65 to 70 and stopped at a Shell station...
This guy was about 6'6" and around 280# and was the typical badass biker type, or so I thought...
Consider me guilty of judging the book by the cover...
He was very easy going and polite...
We exchanged compliments, I told him I was impressed with his top speed and he was equally impressed with how fast I pulled away when I twisted it...
He said he had heard of the Busa'a power but would now be able to tell his HD buddies just how insane they are...
The guy even offered to buy me a Beer...
Again, this guys appearance and attitude were very different...
So we each made a new friend and got to have a little fun on the road, which was almost deserted early Sunday morning...
Turned out to be a good ride, but aint they all...
