First race Rocket vs 09 Busa
While up at the local bike shop shooting the sh1t with the parts manager a fellow rider walks in and starts to shoot his mouth off about his Busa...how fast it is, how it will smoke any bike..When he said this I caught a smile from the parts manager when he looked up at me. I chimed in and asked him what was done to the bike, he said.. brock alien pipe, his map, lowered with air shifter.
I asked him if he wanted to run me now, and I turned and pointed to the Rocket parked out front of the dealership. His response was expected... "yeah right, I'll kill ya"
I pulled out 250 cash and set it on the counter and said then this should be easy pickings for you...I just have one request...we go from a roll around 20mph...and run a designated 1/4 run that many others in the area do...we both start as we cross the line and winner...takes the money. He then starts..I dont have enough cash on me...I told him to go to get some money and he said his local bank is around the corner..he said he would be back in 5...and to my surprise he was. Both of us gave Joe our money to hold and off we went..
Both of us were side by side leading up to the start...as we crossed the first pole and we started,I bused him by 3-4 right out of the gate and gradually to what he said was about 8-9 as we crossed the finish pole. Back to the dealer to claim the spoils of victory...Joe asked what happened, I didnt say a word but rather looked over at the other person..."he spanked me hard 8-9 lengths"
Win 1 for the Carpenter Beast....the only looser..the inside of my right leg. The header burned right through my jeans and left a nice burn battle blister...guess its kind of like a notch in the bed post except more painful.
aid was about 8-
