I bit off more than I could chew! was created by Mark Wing
Today at lunch I took on a Yahama FJZ sport/touring bike and he took me by about 7 bikes. At the next light I asked him what size it is, he said 1400cc. I told him not bad for just over 700cc's. He said I'll say not bad, this is a 150 hp bike and I didn't leave you in the dust, he said he'd built some 650's in the past. So I guess I did OK for racing a bike almost twice as big and 150 hp.

Way to go... Show them what a KZ can do...

Question, when did he take you, from the start to finish, half way point or at the end...

If only at the mid point to end, I bet that woke his ass up quick in wondering WTF was going on there... good job!

OMR it was all the way through but just barley pulling away. I could see him checking his miror but not dusting me off. I always shoot high when I'm picking a race, that way if I lose I can just blame the small motor but if I do good I can blame the small motor. I did suprise this guy though, it was FUN.
