I was out for a quick run on the 14 before dark last night, heading south into Dallas on I-35E when I spotted a stretched and lowered bike on my far left in the HOV lane doing about 80 mph. It had custom paint and two things I immediately noticed, it was very loud and very low to the ground, the lower fairing almost touching. This dude had his little cutie perched up high on the pillion, both in full coverage helmets, shorts and flip flops, I was doing about 90 so I passed them slowly on their right. I never like to blow by other sportbikes, partly out of respect as even a 600 is a fast machine in the right hands and also so they don't get the red mist and come after you. Most guys are cool and will keep their pace or latch onto your tail if you pass them in this manner. This guy had different ideas though and I knew when I heard him kick it down a gear and stomp on it there was going to be trouble. Looks like we got us a show off as he comes screaming by me doing about 130 mph, I kicked it up to a 100 and then thought to myself "screw this, not the time or place to be racing anyone, especially when he's got a passenger on back". At that instant the bike looked like it disintegrated, huge chunks of plastic came flying off as this guys fairings peeled off into the slipstream. Luckily the debris went sailing way over my head but it still startled the heck out of me. I exited the freeway shortly after that as the two slowed to a stop...still in the HOV lane. They looked to be OK but I doubt he's getting any the rest of this week. LOL! Two morals to this story, don't race with a passenger on back, if you want to kill yourself that's fine but don't take an innocent life with you and two tighten them fairing screws. These bikes are more like low flying airplanes, this stuff can ruin your day.
