Especially if they find out you race, then the first question is always how fast do you go.

Dummies.

Dummies? Isn't the whole entire point of racing to go fast? Again, seems like a perfectly legitimate question.

You guys are dicks.

The front straight is where you take your nap at triple digit speeds, think about the turns coming up and where you think you can get the guy you're chasing...

a late brake deep into the turn, a 50 degree lean angle at 60mph, and a great drive out... that's the good part.

Awesome dude, you're part of the 3% of the population who has taken a fast vehicle onto a race track. Congratulations.

Race = Speed. "How fast have you been," is therefore an entirely reasonable question.

I'm with stupid.... and by stupid, I mean both of you.

(not saying you're both stupid, just saying I agree with both of you................... well...... Chris CAN be pretty stupid sometimes.)

Mr Lefty · 04-16-2010, 08:46 PM

it's stpid and annoying... they ASSume that because you have a motorcycle that you MUST ride fast... it's just as dumb as asking every Vette or any other sports car driver how fast they drive it.

or asking any one who owns a gun how many people they've killed?

shit I get asked what plane's I fly if I say I'm in the Air Force...

You don't have to be a wiseass, I'm just agreeing with the OP and making a point.

And no, race does not equal speed, race equals competition.

My motard probably doesn't even top 100mph.

The 20 year old EX500's that race in ptwins probably barely hit 85 on the front straight. And they have some of the most competitive racing on the track.

Exactly...

And Pete is dumb. I want to buzz half his goatee off in his sleep.

I just want you to be near me when I sleep

Ya can't expect people who don't know what racing is all about to know what racing is all about.

If it makes ya feel any better, you go a lot faster on that R6 than I can go on my SV. Imagine their disappointment when I tell em my bike tops out somewhere around a buck 30

Full Throttle · 04-17-2010, 02:05 AM

I pretty much tell them. I know they are anxious to hear and well since its a 250 they are thinking lower than its actual capabilities so i surprise them a bit. I know 115 isnt anything to really brag about but when they think its only able to do 90-100 then they are surprised. I sometime tell girls its slower than it looks then got them the bike and screech down the Interstate at 100+

My standard answer:

"I was five-foot eight when I left the house, and now I'm 6'2", so, pretty goddamn fast."
