A group of bikers are at one of the hang outs. The slowest one was a new CBR1000 which I had gathered had some weight reduction and at least a tune. Dude was a real good rider (from what I saw in the race) and ~185#s.
I asked if he wanted to go and they laughed and I said for real. They say no car has beat them but a ton have tried. I tell them I take 750s by more then a few cars which seems to get their attention. So we roll out.
It's a little "damp" and I was spinning till 80-90 earlier. I tell him to start in front of me and I'd flash my lights to signal the go (He had no mirrors) but he started behind me half a car for some reason.
I'm in 4th at ~85 when I flash my lights. He nails it hard and when he gets to my door I roll into the gas strong. At that RPM full boost is instant and we're off. At the top of 4th I've stopped him about a car ahead and I dare say I might have gained some real estate back, I slam 5th and he creeps maybe a car more ahead do to my poor shift. I hold him to that till ~170 when the engine lets go.
Black smoke everywhere like a poorly tuned diesel truck, car is shaking causing it to sway all over the lane. I get it slowed down and we pull off the road. He was impressed and I joked about it eating a piston (probably did.)
We exchanged pleasantries about the race and he takes off. I limp my bitch back to my shop looking like it's a meth dragster on fire to await the new short block I have built there.
