Well, I don't drag race every day too, but I had a similar event going on last week.
In my case it was an old GSX1100R, with it's rider seemingly in an altered state of mind. I saw him in the mirror coming from behind - on his back wheel. He raced by like a fury, and probably thought that he really shocked a poor cruiser guy. I gave it full throttle and caught up within seconds.
At the next red light, our drag race marked the utter devastation of a legendary ****** rocket. The R3R completely outclassed it. I let off somewhere in 3rd, far ahead of him. And I have to admit, it feels great!
But a bigger challenge is waiting, soon. My uncle in Germany has a tuned Ducati 1198S - a very fast beauty - and he does have a lot of track experience. It seems we have slightly different opinions about who would be in front at the traffic lights... seems I have to go to Germany soon 
... Actually I'll be content if I can best him in first gear, I don't think it will work until 100mph. In case I lose 0-60, I will go for Australian cams...
