Roy, agree with you.  Have destroyed an R1 (I was so far ahead during a 3rd 
gear roll on he quit!) numerous 600s, (though I did have a NO2 600 give me 
quite a run) and lately had a go at the new Kaw 900 and it wasn't even close. 
 In fact, was a little embarrassed for him as he was so proud of that bike 
Have my eye on a Hya, but can't get the guy to run me.  He should be able to 
take me.  Has about the same HP and less weight.  Had a run with a 600 thing 
last time I went out.  Was coming back from Fudruckers, big Fri. night hang 
out.  Group of about 20 plastic rockets stopped at a red light (Lord, you 
should hear the sound about 20-30 of those things makes as they all race back 
to Miami), I managed to get to the front as we stopped.  Looked over at this 
guy, and his friends are yelling Ya...Get him...Get him...The light goes 
green and I run up, shift into second, no thingie, sitting up behind my big 
cruiser windshield going through 3rd, look back over my shoulder, see him 
"peddling away."  I smiled, gave him a little nod, "come on" and rode off.  
LOL, kills'em, but is so much fun!  Will have to do some serious engine mods 
one of these days, but for now, am pleased with reeking havoc on the plastic 
things around here.  Oh, one more...Was at a biker bar, something I would 
never do with plastic bomb.  Was just standing out front with about 30 bikers 
when a motorcycle gang pulled up.  One of the leaders was riding a really 
trick looking Harley, with a radials, big tach mounted high on the handle 
bars.  Beautiful red metal flake red (I'm a bit of a Harley fan.  A well 
built one is like a piece of art).  As he walked passed I said, Beautiful 
bike, is it fast?  Ooops...His tattoos bristled.  He looked over at me and 
said, "What, did you say...I have $100 that says it's faster than what you 
are riding."  (Oops, I'm looking at his gang, wondering who is gona hold the 
cash...) He looked at me and said, "do you even have a bike anyway?"  I said, 
Ya, got an old bike, but I like it, it's that one over there (pointing to the 
white full face helmet on my sissy bar) Just as he was going to make 
arrangements for the race, his friend walked over to my bike, took one look 
and called out, "It's a Vmax, are you crazy!"  The biker I had accidentally 
insulted just said, "Nice bike" as his friends followed him in to the bar to 
get a beer.  Nothing more was ever said about a race.
