FD vs. Motorcycle
With all the Bike kills I've been reading lately. I've been very curious to see how i stack up to one. And today i finally got my chance.
First off this is deffinately not the fasted bike . I know the owner and he said it was a 92 yamaha 600 genisis. his only mods are some exhaust work as well as intake.
I am running pretty much full bolt on with stock fuel at 13psi tuned by Steve at Gotham.
We were only able to get 2 quick pulls in as traffic wouldn't allow us to reallly open it up. The first was from a second gear roll. the bike got a slight jump and pulled a bike length on me, b4 2nd was over i had stopped his pull and started my own shifted to third and pulled him pack to my door b4 we shut it down( did not top out third). Our second run was from about 60 and I was in 3rd. This time we both hit it at about the same time. We were pretty even for a few seconds then I began to pull. I shifted to fourth and shut it down with his front wheel at my back bumber and falling back. Both runs were pretty short and i know a newer bike would give me a much better run for my money but it was fun either way.

Yea, I could tell by the looks of the bike it was deffinately outdated. but it was still a good feeling pulling on him. And he also said his bike should run low 13s to high 12s. I'm sure i'll have my chance at a newer one sooner or later, and that should be a little more interesting . Thanx for the replies
