Title: gixxer had trouble catching up to me
Post by: mach1 on May 02, 2007, 09:51:33 PM
so Im coming home from practice and im in the carpool lane I will keep my speed secret :icon_twisted:. and im riding a 15 mile ride home and when i get ready to leave the carpool lane a gixxer600 pulls up to the side of me letting me know my turn signal is on :icon_rolleyes: i looked down and seen no green light but the signal was on when i looked i seen the flasher blinking so i turned it off and he took off with me following. we get off at the same exit and chat for ahwile and i asked him how long it was on for and he told me it just turned on while i was riding so he tryed to catch me but had a hard time(again i will keep my speed secret) he said he likes my bike asked what size and when i told him he said i was Fng nutz to be riding something that small that fast. I laughed and said yeha but its a fun machine to ride and he took off with a green arrow then followed by me going straight. the ocward thing is when i got home i check my signals and everything was fine including the indicator. he must have been new cause a gsxr600 should have no trouble catching up to my little twin, or was i really going that fast.

1.  Grammar.
2.  Why does a small engine make higher speeds on a GS crazy?  They make great track bikes, you know.
3.  A GSX-R600  could reach the top speed of your GS in less than 10 seconds.  I'm not sure why he couldn't catch you.
4.  Don't ride like that, especially with other motorists around.  You're giving us a bad name.
5.  Grammar.

I don't think it was his bike holding him back (unless he was missing a couple spark plugs) It must have been the fear of a ticket.

I saw this and I was like ' WTF :o  I have comptetion :o '  I scared the f%$k out of my boss leaving work tonight :laugh:  I didn't even do anything real bad.  He was following me down a fairly twisty road and at one point my knee was about 2 inches from pavement.  When I stopped at a light and he caught up, he said he thought for sure I was gonna eat pavement. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:   Seriously though,  back the f%$k off!!!!!!  I am the King of Stupid crap on a bike and you will bow down to my retardation :laugh: :laugh:

This does boggle me though because a retard with no left foot should have been able to dust a GS  if he was on a Gix6  unless it was having serious issues ( dunno maybe  burned the pistons out  :dunno_white: )

as far as giving us a bad name the guy liked it and offered me an invite to go riding sometime. why he couldnt catch up im not sure and as far as my speed goes i was going fast but the other cars were still passing me. the only thing retarded i did was not know my flasher was on other than that i rode normal whent with the flow of traffic(traffic was going pretty fast that night).

I'm not talking about looking bad to some squid on a gixxer, I'm talking about the general public (the other vehicles on the road) thinking that all motorcyclists are insane and have no regard for anyone elses safety.

could have been traffic holding him back .. fear of a ticket .... gs will do 14.4 in a 1/4 .. ... 600 anywhere from 10.5-12 sec ( all depends on the rider we all know that ! )

like i said i did nothign crazy stayed in one lane all that way home i was just going faster than usual( but not to fats if i kept getting passed by other cars). the gixxer was in the same lane as me with no traffic behind us nor in front but not sure how good he was or comfy he was going that fast. once he caught up with me and let me know my signale was on he took off in and out of lanes and he lost me quick.

It's not the small engine that makes higher speeds crazy, it's the horrible suspension. Mine is stock, and I definitely do not feel comfortable at high speeds on it.

Post by: mach1 on May 03, 2007, 09:36:09 PM
I have no problem with the suspention at higher speeds but that is just me. and the road does have some bends but no curves. I did nothing to make me look unsafe Im a safe driver most of the time, I dont lane split unless in traffic and dont switch lanes every ten seconds just cause I can, Im not an Idiot but I do like to open her up every now and again. What does me getting my license change? Im still me and ride how I usualy do. I have never got any negative remarks on how I ride from anyone, you don't beleave me then lets go for a ride. I will never or have'nt rode faster than I could handle I never take turn fast unless im sure i can do it, the fastes I Ive done a sharp 90 deg turn was a route I take everyday after work so am very comfy with and everyday i take it a little faster until I did it at 90ish but even then I felt i can go a bit faster but I'll wait till i get a more open road woth less cars.
