And the second statement is funny as well, I also have guys want to race with SUV's and 4x4s, I watch how they fall away on sharp bends, even with me doing only the speedlimit, they cannot corner anywhere near as hard as I can.

The second part is the best and it works on all slugs (sports car wannabe's). Know the twisty roads in your area and say "ok, follow me". When you get there, it's like "what's this man?". Run them in the corners and watch them fall behind.


And yes, biker's generally just want to be safe from the other idiots driving cars with a phone in their left hand, or something just as stupid.

There was a very heavily modded out evo 10 (mostly exterior) trying to drag with me on the fwy. Kept letting me catch up and than taking off. Than he took a exit i was very familiar with. It was like a "S" turn, I exited it following him about 1 car length away. The guy in the evo literally went from 75 to to 40 and pussied out the first turn. I had to get onto the second lane to dodge him but i did a initial d kinda thing and lost traction sliding past him. Wasn't as epic as it sounds but i wish i could of recorded it lol. Thats my story :P. I think ima go start doing some x cross soon LOL, not worth doing this shit again.

I had an AMG ML floor it past me on the way to a highway on ramp, and then proceed to slow down to school bus-pace when it got into a gradual curve (literally the kind of curve you'd take at triple digits). I caught up and had to brake to keep my distance from him - of course, once the road straightens, he floors it. Wowowoweeee....

I've also had a GTR blow past me and then cut me off while I was in the slow lane (doing about 70kph on city roads). I just ask what the point is...

Ummm please define "city roads" since other then school zones or areas I know there are risks I rarely ever drive under 70. Never have, not just a FRS thing. Ask the wife she would be more than happy to tell you!

70 kph? That's only like 43 mph. Are speed limits less than 35 mph in Canada (56 kph)?

Speed limit for city is 50 kph, highway depends. The highway near me is 80 kph but the bigger ones are like 90 kph. During the summer last year, some officials wanted to lower the city speed limit to 40 kph... (but that didn't pass thankfully)

[V_86]

30 mph and 55 mph, so slow. I mean I know in Illinois the highways are 55 mph, but in California they are mostly 65 mph. Streets are mostly 35 mph

[Mr_YUzU_FRS]

Don't know where you guys are from. Here in Cali fw/hws are at least 65, in some areas 70 mph. City roads non school zones are usually 35-55 mph depending on location.

90kph is painfully slow for the open road....

We have many city streets that are 60 and highways that are 100in Ontario. If you do the posted 100 limit on the 400 series of highways you will have somebody drive into you though since the normal speed is more like 120.

I get people driving like ****s around me since I got the GT86. I generally just ignore them. I have only raced one person off the lights and that was a 400cc scooter. Of course he got a car length or two before I realed him in.

On my motorbike however I like playing with cars for a while, like a cat teasing a mouse. I let them rev, catch me, then I add a crack more throttle, 1000 revs and 10mph and wait again for them to catch me. After this goes on for 2 or 3 times I shift up one gear and actually wind it open. BYE! The 0-30mph part I don't play with, bikes are too easy to mess yourself up on by popping a wheel or high siding due to wheel spin. But it's the 30 to speed limit and beyond that surprises almost anything on the road. My bike pulls better in 6th at 100mph than the GT86 does in 1st at 20mph. It's not even a sports bike.
