coming home from work this morning on my thou on a two lane stretch of road, me in inside lane stopped at a set of lights, a guy on an xjr1300 pulls alongside.
Yeah he wants to go.
Lights change, boom we're gone.
He was toast.
I'm not proud but boy did it feel good.

Reckon most of us would do the same - "Old enough to know better but daft enough to do it anyway:lol :lol
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

I used to have an XJR1300 great bike but you can forget the traffic light GPs. They are great bikes but you have to be totally committed to get the best performance out of them, a big lump but quicker than they look but no match for FZ1000 in straight line or round the twisties.

I thought the guy was being optimistic but far do's he was up for it.
