Move abroad where the police aren’t that hot and traffic is almost zero

Would be up for putting the bike on the strip against a 500bhp Scooby but am too far away must be other takers though.
Wouldn't think of putting my Scooby on strip would probably brake the box or clutch launching it, fast cars are too temperamental bikes are the future

 

I never chase after vehicles but in this one particular situation I couldn't help myself. A friend has a picture of me along side the ferrari 355 and the porker threw a milkshake at me mates car for some reason ??? Must of been upset he was too slow

 

Most (not all) think that they are King of the Road ... they aren't.

I don't feel the need to keep up all the time, just sometimes when the mood takes me

TX.

 

Explain king of the road and why it applies to most bikers.
As a biker i would love to know what bracket i fall into.
Reading your post in the speeding thread maybe you will be less inclined to persue anyone now.
Anyone keep up with this loon...

left two bikers today when I slowed down they gave the thumbs up as they passed, I only blasted the car as "the rig" said bikers like to play so ??

 

Yup we do like to have a play

You must have found a pair of old school bikes if you left them
Or did they have fat back tyres

 

Give yourself a pat on the back
p.s. Mountain bikes dont count!

 

Meow! they looked about 400cc things?? just admit it not all bikes are quick!!

 

you should ride one that is fast, then you may realise your car aint that fast!
sounds as if you dont have an open mind when it comes to many things,
self righteous comes to mind

 

Well said that man

 

If you went in a well modded scoob, then you may realise how fast they are

 

Who said ALL bikes are quick?
Of course not all bikes are quick. Our local pizza delivery bloke's bike isnt that quick. The big box on the back plays **** with the aerodynamics.

 

my p1's fast enough in nearly standard form, how much faster do you wanna go on a public road?

 

I'll be at shakespeare raceway all day tomorrow, there will be a few around the 500bhp region, come along and your see how much faster

 

i said public road!

 

But that would be against the law to show you wouldnt it

 

i'm not the one with the problem, i know what is fast and what isn't, not me you need to convince young man!
i'm just stating he should try a fast bike as he seems to think he has the fastest car around

 

The only conclusion i can come up with then is that you have never come across a rider who is good enough to keep up with you. I think with the power your car is running it would be seriously quick and a match for most things on the road but please go and have a go on a big sports bike. I was the same as you years ago had a pretty quick car (250bhp Rs turbo) then a friend took me out on the bike and let me know just how slow the car was. Not saying that you are going to like the bike but if your into speed there is no comparison trust me go and try one.

 

well said

 

Some funny stuff in this tread, but here's my input from experience...
History. just in case some McDonanalds car park lot at reading this
, 350LS in the 80's wasn't bad did a bit of proddy racing could wheelie from 1ist to 3rd and hold it for a mile say... now have a vfr800
Done a bit of clubmans rallying in the 90's and a fair bit of karting, won a few things so not done too bad
Not as brave as i was on a bike but hey I'm 40 and realise i may be dead if I fooookup and i have 3 kids so plan on not doing


anyhow recent: Sti running mid 12's in the 1/4 and Ariel atom 320-bhp low 11's to high 10's -10.7 best if i could get traction
just so you get an idea of relative experience.....
Forgot MKII escort rally car, with BdA
====================================

So my scoob down a b road was generally quicker than I could go on any bike, gixxer 100000000 included.... Atom was daft fast on smooth road and around any corner was much faster than you could go on a bike, full stop...i.e. with my knee down on the vfr i can do 48mph around my fav roundabout, smooth grippy tarmac, maybe not alot faster on a 1098, with ultra grippy rubber, the Atom did the same corner at 60mph,,, and was around as fast to 100 as a gixxer Thou...at 5 seconds, but was crap, and i mean ****e, down a country lane in the same way a Fazzer f430 is...

So conclusion IMO, 1000cc Bike much much quicker giver a smooth bit of road, and some straights; Atom as quick on smooth road, (only .5 second difference to 100mph) alot quicker on the corners and much much better under braking ( i was hanging from the belts when the fronts were warm)
over my fav run up in the dales the Sti would have murdered the Atom and any bike that i could ride... Don't kid yourself lookin at TT on bike vids as 1, the TT course is relativly smooth and 2, the guys are mad and pro's !!!!! so a well setup Scoob, Evi ScoobADishi would be quicker, by a fair amount... + you could be quicker with only 60% driver talent compared to a bike....
To be very quick on a bike you need to be in your twenties and talented... and even then you'd have a job keeping up with the Atom and no chance on a bumpy country road against a scoob.. scoob would'nt see wich way a CBR1000RR went on a smooth road with a good rider though...

hope that makes sense. had a few tinnies

At this thread and how easily bikers take the bait.

 

Perfomance Chart 1 - Motorcyles and Cars

Not many cars near the top

 

PMSFL check out how quick the CB500 is

Year Power 1/4 mile
Honda CB500 1997 57 13.2 102
Aston Martin Vanquish 2001 460 13.3 115
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI GSR 1999 276 13.3 108
Subaru Impreza WRX STi 1998 280 13.3 104

 

PMSFL its great isn't it

 

make up your mind as you don't speed on the road in your P1 but on a bike its ok ???



I ain't ever said once in this thread that I thought my car was fast

 

check out the thread starter, i'm sure you say something about a fast car?

 

just checked! you certainly do say your cars fast

 

Its quite funny but my mate has a Ninja 600cc, he saw a scoob on the M60 about a month ago and decided to give it a blast down the slip road, on looking down to his left the scoob was still right beside him, he was a little shocked to say the least lol and yes his bike does run correctly
