It seams like I end up dragging with a motorcycle on a weekly basis!!

Cars that hang AND are willing to pull are few are far between.

Same here. Motorcycle riders are more adventurous and performance minded. Plus, just about any large motorcycle can outrun E55 in a drag race, if not around a few bends, but few cars and even fewer drivers of those performance /exotic cars have the ***** (sorry, Lady Wolf) .
My most recent "race" was chasing a motorcycle on a winding mountain road, video of which I posted three times last week.

Heck, no apologies needed. I'll be the first to admit I have no *****

I only went with a motorcycle once to 170+... I think it was some sort of Ducati, I'll admit it had a car length on me the whole way.

There is nothing like pulling on a liter-bike with a car and watching the rider's mouth fall open in total disbelief. I won't mess with them from a dig though.

Exactly!!!! I've scared the crap out of a few that blast off the line and back off to laugh and see 4000lbs flying up on em!!!

The liter bikes do get me by a length or so, but damn I'll take that. NONE of the bikes can throw into the turns like I can. Whichever of you got dusted in ANY turns to ANY motorcycle should check your skills at the door!

p.s. I know 'cause I ride a GSX-R 1000
