| | Posted : 18 Feb 2010 - 03:23 Post title : Harley Hooligan | | | I was on my way home from work today enjoying the 65 degree weather loping alone at 70mph when Hooligan creeped up a couple of lanes over doing more. As he caught up he looked over at me and was blipping his throttle madly, trying to egg me into roll on. After a few seconds I grabbed the throttle and began to speed past him, he caught up and waved at me like he was planning on leaving me in his dust. I kept on the throttle and he passed slowly I satyed on his tail up to 100+, but since I only have 700 miles on the Bird I backed off. After this I realized that when he was egging me on he had down shifted 1 or 2 gears and I was in 6th all the time. Had I down shifted he would have been crying on the side of the road!

Don't worry , he is still crying as he saw something he liked much better than what he has. And he is frustrated too since he won't admit that.

Whats funny is that they'd take off and i wouldn't try and race them. I'd just accelerate at my usual pace, but even sedately accelerating i would be keeping up well enough that they thought i had accepted the challenge ! They'd be all proud of themselves and i'd just be laughing inside. the one time i did accept the poor shmuck got his azz whipped by a bike 550cc less than his. :)

I mistakenly ruined a guy's day a couple of years ago. He was getting out of this neat looking car in a parking lot (or is it "car park") and I was admiring the car as I walked by. He looked at me and smiled proudly when I told him how Chevy had really done a great job in styling that year's Camaro. Turned out the car was a new Jaguar XK and the proud owner made a very rude comment to me after I had given him such a nice compliment. You Brits sure are sensitive!
