Fun w/ a FZ1

[Fingers]

Could have been a lot worse

You brought a tear to my eye; I miss my last bike, an FZ1 named Blu...

Before a trip to the mountains.

After meeting Bambi.

Sorry if I brought up sore memories. Did you keep the meat at least?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Love to hear a good story!!!

I am not sure if I am sensing a bit of sarcasm here or not?

Why not assume the best @Rick Morris ? Life is too short to go looking for wrongs.

Absolutely not trying for sarcasm. I do love to hear other stories.
1 week after I got my roadster I raced my nephew on his cbr 600rr. But I told him only to 60 mph. He couldn't believe I was 3 bikes ahead every time he tried.

There are a lot of guys like you on this forum. Some one tells a good story about their Rocket and someone like you tries to take the wind out of their sails or tries to take them down a peg or two. Some of this petty crap I have read is enough to keep people of this forum.

I applaud this drag race between an 800 lb plus bike and lightweight liter bike. The Rocket and its rider did its job. Why knock it?

Reality is a good thing for those who have never ridden a sport bike and think they can easily beat one on a 11.5ish R3. It can keep you from making a mistake or do something foolish. There are a number of cars prowling the street that will destroy an R3 once they get rolling. The R3 is pretty weak once you approach 100mph.

I think we found Art's long lost brother

Which I'd why only raced to 60. At 85 he passed me like I was on a moped. Lol

YES we had a guy on a stock classic race 2 of the fastest sport bikes in the area from a stop light over and over and he kept beating them everytime as they where stock wheelbase and height so the kept doing wheelies and the ROCKET beat them both 4 times it was very entertaining

Wow the speed limit in Florida is much higher than Oklahoma. In this state we have a few highways that are posted at 75 mph. For the most part 90% of my ride time is done well under 100 mph. The Rocket is Ideal for everyday riding.
