The sportsbike guy

It never fails... Many times when I'm out with Vince there always ends up being some poser who thinks he is a badass on his sportsbike or cruiser. They just never learn. This time it was another guy on a Honda CBR...with a passenger. Not exactly like this (I mean it's only Northern Indiana!)...but you get the idea. So anyway he's being (if only by his existence) an ass, so I lag back a little and signal Vince to do his thing. He gets up beside the guy at the light and when it goes of Vince just leaves him in the dust for about a block or two while the guy is bogging through the gears.

Finally he catches and overtakes Vince...on his 900cc sportsbike...duh. He's got the power of Vince's engine PLUS another Honda Reflex in there! At the next light Vince and I take off and leave him...again. He overtakes me first doing...well let's just say a good clip....and then finally overtakes Vince. The guy decides to prove a point and does probably 90ish down the road for a quarter mile. At this point we don't try to catch up. I'm sure our goal was obtained. Next time the guy looks at a "little scooter" he will have a bit more of an understanding of what they can do. Who knows...his girl might even go buy one!
