Once upon a time, I went for a ride in the Mexican countryside on a friend's private road. I was cruising and enjoying the sunset when I saw a bike in my rearview, so I slowed it down a bit. He came up behind me and went to pass. As he was on the side of me, I revved it to see his reaction. He motioned for me to hammer it, so I did. I pulled him in pretty hard. We played around a few times after that; he said we got up to 140. Then we stopped and ran from a dig. He lost, but I don't really know by how much....maybe a few car lengths.
I don't know what year his bike was (it looked relatively old), but it was 1,000 cc based on what was embossed on the side of the motor. I wish I would have asked him more questions; I don't know much about bikes, but I'm guessing it was not a GSXR. He was pretty cool. Said he had ate another GT500's ass not long ago, so he knew I wasn't stock. I have a 2.8 liquid cooled KB @ ~17 PSI and supporting mods. I've never been on the dyno, but am guessing around 700 whp.
So here's three clips. Mods...move them, delete them, IDGAF. There's a story to go with it, so at least consider it. I'll probably whitewash the post after a couple of weeks anyway. The first is a brief conversation after the roll race and before the dig race. The second is a clip of the dig race. The third is a conversation after the dig race. I had to clip the before and after videos a little to remove some sensitive info in the conversations. The videos aren't the best, because I didn't get a shot of the bike. I had to hastily get my camera ready and it was just me in the car. I thought he was going to take me from a dig, so I just pointed it forward and shoved it in the passenger headrest; it was the easiest thing to do. If you look closely at about 0.03 to 0.04 seconds of the dig race vid, you can see his helmet in my rearview as he falls behind. Probably not the most exciting thing, but better than nothing.
