Racers 10 Months, 1 Week ago  
It seems like every time I take the bike out these days there is some cager trying to race me. The funny thing is that it is always in a car with NO chance of competing. I don't make it a habit of indulging in such activities, and I don't ride around "hot rodding." Sometimes though, I just feel obligated to leave their cocky wanna be racer in the dust.

What is up with this? Any one else deal with this on a daily basis?

Had a guy in a Porsche 944 cut me off the other day and tried to race me away from the next traffic light. He didn't make a good showing But I swear I wasn't racing

Re:Racers 10 Months, 1 Week ago  
At one point every goober on the road with a bumblebee exhaust note an (as it was called in Grand Torino) big gay asses spoiler on it thought they wanted to race, but that kinda waned with time. It's funny, I get more of that on my SV than on the Road Star, and my SV is a good bit quicker. I probably just look a lot less like somebody they want to mess with on the locomotive!

Re:Racers 10 Months, 1 Week ago  
I swear this happened on the way to San Diego Bay the other day

I was driving my car down the grade on the 67 and this little old blue haired lady who must have been 90 years old passed me and swooped in front of me
She had a giant number 3 and big "Dale Earnhardt plastered across the whole back window
I couldn't believe it and I passed her back for fun
She pulled up next me and I swear on my life, she glared at me and growled and put on racing gloves and blew past me down the road
all I saw was dust
