E55 vs. Bike
I was on 110 headed north towards the LIE in Long Island when some modded Maxima tried picking a race or whatever. I just opened up my cut out electronic exhaust and let it rip for 1-2 seconds just to let him know what time it was...
soon enough I get to a red light and there is a crotch rocket next to me. I couldn't tell what it was since it was dark out but by the sounds of my story I think it was a 600cc engine. The body was maroon.
The guy on the biked looked over and looked at my car and when the light turned green I cracked it and was off...only to realize by 70mph he didn't even bite.
Well luck has it that a red light comes again, this time instead of going thru the yellow and brake hard to let the bike catch up. This time is is ready as he revs it up and when the light goes green he probably had a 0.3 sec better reaction time which thru 1st gear gave him a 1 car advantage.
Fron 2-3rd I pulled within 0.5 cars but when I shifted into 3rd he had pulled ahead a little more for about a 1-1.5 car lead. I am sure that guy was sweatin it because he kept into it when I let off probably at 110mph.
I am sure he was shocked...I kinda was. Next time I will get this kinda stuff on Video!

I thought most folks with cars were too smart to race bikes. 
I used to have a little Honda 400 that would smoke pretty much any car in 0-60 and 1/8 mile. 'Course my Duck is a little quicker than that; it needs to be since I'm fatter now.
