Motorcyclists are F'ing Crazy!
So today i was driving hiome minding my own business when this motorcycle Wizzis by me at aroudn 90 mph. I think to myself 'your gunna die in about 30 seconds'
i pull up at the stop light and i look to see that the motorcycle doesnt even have a license plate yet, it still has the dealer advertising.
He keeps revving at me and looks over. and i just geet fiddling with the radio, flip the the screens in the dash or something...again, he revs it liek crazy for 10 seconds...i was thinking, man hes going to make his motor blow up.
and then i thought to myself...i never raced a bike before...why not?
So i put the car in sport mode, and just waited oh so patiently at the light. Im on the Left lane, hes on the right.
Light turns green and he just blows past me till around 30 mph or so where i slowly start catching up. at this point we're at 50 mph and we're neck and neck and still climbing and out of nowhere this car from a sidestreet decided to pull onto the main road. I saw this happening and i just slowed way the hell down, but the biker kept punching it! I was like 'holy christ hes gunna kill himself' he barely misses the car andkeeps on going. at this point im like...F this, i had enough retarded moments today. so i slow down to 40 mph to the next light..and there he is again..waiting patiently...i was about to roll my window down and ask him is he was on crack, but i decided to do both of us a favor and make a left turn at the light.

Not all of us are crazy...besides the sane ones know that we can smoke most any street legal car so why bother Maybe he was a newbie and didn't know any better...

Be careful racing careless bikers. If they take a spill and die you are in for it. By the way, I have found most of the local bikes to be of little challenge. Not that the Bigs aren't lurking in the wings.

yeah i was thinking the exact thing when i saw him almost kill himself..
I dunno, i was amazed how well i kept up with a bike and was startign to pass it .the bike looked cheap, wasnt a hayabusa or anything.

I don't know much about bikes, and I have a BMW Magazine that had that.
And I do agree that it takes skills, and brains. But if you're going to race a car, much less an AMG, you don't have the brains.

Wakos come in 2 and 4 wheel versions.There 's time and place for everything , but racing an a busy street is nuts.It takes more ***** to backaway from a dumbass contest.I've been riding for over 15 years and lost few friends , I honor them by not doing what they did.

For the most part, don't race sport bikes. Just take a look at the power to weight ratio, and you'll understand.
Big sport bikes like the Hayabusa could do 0-60 mph in 2 seconds flat assuming the rider can control the wheelie.
The BMW K 1200 R goes 0-60 2.9 seconds. That's a death trap.

The problem with most bikers is that their skill level can't keep up with the bike's ability. I have managed to run away from a number of bikes when their ***** and skill give up the ghost...........especially on wimby roads.

I am amazed at the amount of idiots this sacramento area has and just how many have bikes. I am sure I would love to kill (race) one of them with my CLS, I am also amazed at how many IS300 drivers act like idiots here as well.
People drive here in Sacramento on the streets as if they were freeways I tell you. Fair oaks people are always going 55 to 65, when the speed limit is 45. Same thing on Madison, Sunrise, Greenback.

yeah, raleys, the ******* restaurant and 5 points shopping center (where 24 hr is)
there are alot of asshats driving up here. and fair oaks is like a freeway. i have a house on fair oaks blvd..its impossible to enter the driveway any less than 40 mph, i worry about getting rear ended too much.
fair oaks is like......Pico in san clemente. (since youre from South county, i figured u might know where Pico is) then again pico isnt a good example....

East coast has it 's share of street racers too .I love the posturting and reving of the engines weaving in and out of traffic but after a couple of blocks they wind up next to you or just 1 car in front and you drive normally.

Very fun rolling up to a light knowing there's almost NOTHING that will touch you, street legal or not, 2 wheels or 4. Last one was a modded Viper that claimed 700 HP. By 120 mph he was nowhere to be found, the modded CBR1100XX had another sucker.
