I'm not an insane stunter. Or a street racer. Just a guy that likes to WOT occasionally. Usually, it's Saturday mornings, or Sunday mornings, when I go grab doughnuts or bagels for the family unit.

There really isn't any need to get into 4th 5th or 6th. I just like the acceleration, NOISE (thank you vance and hines, k&n, and opec), wind and annoying people sleeping in.

So - use the poll, then post WHEN and WHERE you like to get naughy and WOT your suzi ?

I'm not a stunter, or even really a stupid rider (learned my lesson early)... But anytime I'm on the bike (which has been almost 3 weeks now, it's killing me.. gotta get her running)... I go WOT from every light, especially when I'm getting on the interstate... it's just fun... :laugh:

Ugh, much like NGFL,  I learned my lesson early :icon_confused:
However,  I let it wide open all the time.  My personal standard on highway on-ramps is to be exceeding the speed limit before I actually get on the highway. :icon_rolleyes:

I like doing it when someone in a tuner or vette pulls up next to me at a light.  It's a good feeling knowing they have no chance.

I like to WOT , quite often which is bad really , the best is 6 am on the way to mcds on a a127 , which is a Dual carrage way . basicly in the middle of no where just a road , no people walkin about ,no schools , its a 30 but 100 is pretty safe on it , the m1 is a long long motorway , 4 lanes on each side , and again in the middle of nowhere in spots , where u can really open up safely

And yea when a tuner car *Skyline , Evo , Scooby pulls up at a light , its nice to give a handful :thumb:

Ahh ya man. You know we're the last to know about stuff on this side of the pond ;)

Hmm, given what I'm finding online, the 'scooby' might actually be an interesting 0-60 race. Not to mention I LOVE the sound of those motors.

There are alot of videos of folks being naughty in subarus. ;)

the 335i is twin turbo I6 pushing 330hp so its conceivably the same engine in the 1 series. I love the 1. I also love the 335i, but couldnt swing the extra $10k over my g35 (298hp from na v6).


to answer the original post-I used to WOT all the time in the local canyons, but after a few too many tickets I only do so at the track.

Always WOT in first gear.  I've got ALMOST 40hp, so why not?  The GS is the only bike you'll use all of.
