It's been raining non stop since I bought my new ZX14r ABS. Of the 125 miles or so that I've done, it seems that every single Harley rider that I've encountered has tried to keep me from passing by hammering the throttle or blasting away from a street light. They seem SO OUT OF TOUCH!! When you have the fastest slow bike of all your riding buddies, that doesn't mean that you're fast. The dude that I destroyed yesterday, I was easily able to educate him at under 4,000 RPMs. (I'm breaking in my engine) I put about nine car lengths on him before I had to stop for the next light. (He wouldn't make eye contact.) This is after he took off first with a spinning tire. Doesn't anyone read?

Well, most Harley riders think 100hp is a big deal, so.......

Harley Davidson=the most efficient way of converting gasoline to noise without the byproduct of horsepower. I wish a harley would try to run me. So far ive only got to run a ZR1 corvette.

They are not all slow. Buddy of mine has a night train with a 124 s&s built engine and for a cruiser the thing hauls ass. He probably wasn't trying to race you anyway but couldn't resist showing you how cool his bike sounds. Never owned a Harley and probably never will but the wife and I rented a pair in Arizona and I was impressed with the handling and tractor like torque. Stereo was neat as well. Air cooled dinosaur of an engine which still seems to get the job done.

In 2010 I was on a Road King scraping pegs and motoring through the Kootney's in BC. Now it would be a different ride on the zx, but I thoroughly enjoyed that HD!

A bikes a bike, I can have fun on them all.

I don't seem to find any that will try me anymore. I guess once you a loud enough exhaust the Harley riders start to respect you more.

I miss my street racing days of a few years ago. I really don't even consider it anymore unless something really fast comes along and then i usually don't have the stones for an all out race. Not that I'm afraid to race but very afraid of the law. losing half the points off my license in one fell swoop did that to me. Sure was fun though.

I've had a couple of them try it on me. It's always fun to school them.
I really love anyone trying to pass me, 'cause it ain't happenin'.

The thing is, I'm NOT fast. I suck at drag racing, but I can match a 14 second car or bike. This crazy thing can post in the nines with a different rider....I just go nuts when someone dressed as one of "The village people" doesn't recognize superior horsepower. I'm not gonna let some boat anchor with wheels dust me. (Old and fat as I am!)

'All dressed up like one of them village pee poles' Now that's funny!

Been hearing the same thing at work lately... guys just bragging so arrogantly you'd think they were trying to make their balls touch the floor from all the testosterone they have. "Hey man this thing has like 100 horsepower! Can you believe it, the bike weighs just 680 pounds, so course she gonna go like hell!"

Bahahah! It's honestly a chore to stop from rolling on the floor laughing.... I have a hard time biting my tongue, but I mentioned to one of the more decent guys that I have a bike outside in the parking lot that weighs about 100lbs less and has literally double the horsepower....at the TIRE.

He's like, "Yeah, with a full bottle of nitrous." I couldn't help but grin as I saw the horror on his face with my reply "All motor, pal."

Them kids and their crotch-rockets! Blasted! Lol

.
Harleys are not really about power, even though some harley riders get a bit too caught up in the fact that they've broke the 100 hp mark.

I get tired of them bragging about going over 100 mph. I always ask, "in what gear?"

What about a Vrod. They are power horses. Just ask their salespeople.

Apples and oranges, my friends, apples and oranges.......I should know!!!

You have guys on slow bikes that think they're fast and then you have guys on fast bikes who want to go slow. Just 30 minutes ago I rode up alongside an S1000 and the guy politely let me into his lane. He pointed me to go ahead in front of him to enter the expressway. I nailed it up the ramp and into traffic but he didn't even try to chase me. I let him catch up and waved and gave a thumbs up. He still didn't want to play. oh well. I'm guessing he's a newb. Definitely got a good bike to grow into.

..and then there are guys in slow cars that want YOU to go fast.

I had a guy wave me up alongside him from his old beater today. I could tell he was enthused so I slipped the clutch shot up to him. He was all waving his hand and pointing. He looked mighty impressed so I was obligated to give a little show. When the light changed I did a nice fast start, no wheelie or nuthin, then i just shifted up and purred along. I saw him coming up behind me and sailed by wildly shaking me the old thumb/index/pinky sign. What was I to do? I had to return the friendly gesture so shifted down one, hit the juice, shifted down again and wove around him feeling the front tire skimming the road. At the top the hill I shifted down agin into a long singing deceleration. I looked down at the speedo as the needle swept back past 110. Some people might consider that an obnoxious and insane display of power and or speed that could have landed me one hell of a ticket but not this guy. I had to do it just this one time. I'll be good for a while now.
