Stuck in for the winter?
Found a little clip I made on the way to Jax two years ago, running my Heritage with the 116, pulled out of a gas station and was loafing along around 65 coming up on a Big Dog type chopper fat tire and a RK.
As I approached the bikes for some reason the guy in the Chopper felt compelled to show me that I couldn't keep up. I guess fat guys on bikes with windshields and bags smoking cigars are supposed to be slow .... 
You can tell when it hit it hard and went after him didn't take long, the tape jumps a bit with the harder acceleration so it looks shorter than it really is, and yeah I saw the car at the side road.
BTW he tried it again at that Light you saw at the end, once I lit it up and roasted the rear tire, hooked it and launched he just backed up. 
I love sleepers...
Draggin the chopper |

That was too funny!!! was almost wondering what kind of rice rocket you were riding!!!  That kind of acceleration would be fun, but costs for me would make it unreasonable..... would be fun tho! |

I have a couple more somewhere I'll have to look up, one is just hammering up the on ramp to the toll road, got a video running the dragon at night, it's a bit long, some more in the mountains. Haven't cut them down to a reasonable size yet.
Never did catch up, at the light he was behind a car, tried to pull over to get to me but I was gone! |
