i think max was 157 and 150+ on a couple of occasions.
on the way to sd i hit 150+ a number of times racing a gsxr 750 ( i somehow beat him, we drove/rode together for awhile). i also got down w/ a 997S conv. and killed him (15+ car lengths up to 150+), i guess it was tip

Just for the record, there were about 20 - 30 cyclers throughout the ride.
I could care less if someone sues me, I do care if i hurt someone and take what measures I feel are adequate. I already mentioned it, but what the videos don't show is just how "in control" of the situation Vadim and I were in.
I did cross the yellow on a number of occassions. I noticed it then and it got better as we went on. I'm a little confused on whom you want to be the advocate for. If it is cyclists, then why do you care about the center? If it is the motorcyclists, then that is a bit different.
So, are you asying you grew up over the past six months, since that is the exact same stretch of road that I left you on?
I have too much respect for you to get into a spitting match. All I can say for now is that your points are noted and that I have been listening to what you are preaching more and more. That has been the reason why I have brought up the track days.

Whatever Jangy you are clearly not ever going to say anything other than I am so great and I can always be in control. The guy on the R1 said 2x that day way back when that when u chased him you were all over the road trying to keep up.
And for the record I never got near driving like you two that day Jangy. Do you not recall that? My car even broke that day and I drove up with 150 hp and went back down at the end of the day in your car. I get 20-25k out of my tires (when it does not have 2.5 degrees of neg camber -- right now I have 16k on my PS2's and the insides are almost gone) so lets see if I go canyoning all that often. I migh zip around an on ramp now and then but I dont see many guys riding a bike up a hill getting on the freeway. The last time I went out zipping around like that is years ago. I have done dumb things but ya I have slowed down and only bother going fast at the track.
Post away. Im done. Have a good night.

as ive said many times before we ever met up, i dont nedd to prove anything to anyone, i enjoy driving, in the canyons. never been to the track but i can imagine its not nearly as fun going in a "circle". i did not go there to prove anything, we met up to go driving, simple as that.
i saw the biker, i actually lifted when i drove by him and made sure to give him room. i never go beyond my limits b/c you never know whats around the corner. i think the canyons are for everyone to enjoy, motorbikes, bikes, hikers, cars .........
as long as everyone respects each other and doesnt drive/ride over their limits.

Since we want to remember, lets set it straight (or true as you cyclists say). I wasn't "trying" to keep up with the R1. I worked him. He didn't say shhit about me being all over the road as I wasn't that day. He did say how amazed he was that a sedan held so much speed in the turns and was so flat. He did say i was all over him, is that what you mean?

Jangy never crashed it the first time. i ran off the road and lucked out by running into dirt. the only "damage" was some scratches on the front airdam (not even through the paint). Dunno why it looks brown to you. Perhaps the obsidian looks that way, or maybe it wasn't even me?

Me too, bro. It was lots of fun, considering how much "in control" we had the situation. The car will be handling better next time, I promise that. It doesn't usually push with the right setup, so it will be fun to see the extremes (light and agile vs heavy and strong). For now, I bow to you. Your attitude is why. You are a racer at heart and I respect that. Your girl is also a sweety. You two make a good couple!!
You are a sweetheart as well. It was fun. We def have to do it again.

I agree her exhaust is pure growl!! Sitting in the back the sound
was pure bliss.
BenzGal, thank you for lunch. Keep me in mind about the RE symposium we talked about.

Ok I am taking this to a different level now that I am out riding my bike on canyon roads during the day. In vid #2, you pass a man on his road bike with only a few feet to spare. You have to look closely to see it but it was there.
If you put a tire 2-3 feet of line because your E55 boat wont turn and manage to take a biker out realize that his/her family will own your house, car, cash and life. Besides that you get to live with having killed a person for no real reason.
Do me a favor and stay off the Malibu Canyons on weekends when I am out riding. Id rather not get mowed over by a guy trying to prove his manhood in his E55 when being chased by a guy in a 997 who is far faster.
Finally Jangy you managed to not stay on your side of the road more than a few times. So your prior posts that you dont cross the line are total BS. Go to the track kids this is 100% stupid and you will kill some one soon. You are not king of palamar your are the king of stupidity.
I was riding today up past the rock store and down decker canyon and I feared seeing that big black boat the whole time after seeing that some forum guys might be out here for the classic car show in Westlake.
I used to do this stuff a while back so I can relate to the fun but a change in my point of view (growing up) made me realize the risks were not worth it.
I should forward this to the CHP and tell them the next time these clowns want to go zip past a guy trying to exercise and stay in shape. The people minding their own business and being healthy always end up dead and the fools stay alive.
And yes I am pissed. Grow up!!
Kind Regards

Have no fear we are not in your area so you can ride to your hearts content, but don't forget to give your lectures to drivers and riders in YOUR area. I'm sure they would really appreciate hearing your point.
