hahahah.. thats some funny stories..
ive tried gunning it once, just off of the line and it worked. ive made the next light where they had to stop. i will not deny it, it was fun.
but i dont think thats a good idea to be doing it all the time since i have a loud pipe and it draws attention.

plus i need to spend a lot more time with her to get a good feel for her.

and i did look at the speed when puling of the light. in fact it was slower than i assumed it to be. even that the bike moved a lot faster of the line, the speed remained low.

i guess its the noob feeling i have to get use to.

thats what i mean,, or atleast for me thats kinda how it was. i lost the whoosh feeling of the powerband. or maybe your not even talking about wide open throttle idk, i remember at first seeing the road right through my forks scared the **** out of me.

all your feelings will even out with some miles under your belt.

my dad told me once when i first started driving a car at 16

"You dnt have to go at life's speed. Set your own pace and make life's speed adjust to you."

i was like yeah whatever dad. then i got my first speeding ticket shortly afterwards. its the only time in my life i nvr listened to him and i had to pay for it, literally.

i use that now especially when im on 2 wheels. ive been rev'd at so many times by cars and other bikes and i just ignore them.

and kuro can vouch for this, if you are ever on US1 in philly (roosevelt blvd), every traffic light is a race to the next red traffic light. its almost borderline clinically insane the drivers there. avoid at all cost.

My biggest smile to something like this I actually let them win.

I was being tailed so hard on the highway by these 2 douches in a done up Precedia I was in the middle lane and the fast lane was wide open.
So on the light at the off ramp they pulled up and were revving like retards and I saw way down the road a guy beside this tree in a neon vest, and there is always speed traps on this stretch because the 2 lanes goes into one and everyone plays hero to get there first.
So I revved it up real loud with them, flipped the visor down, got into my starting tuck and when the light turned green we both kinda punched and I let them get ahead but I stopped right at the speed limit and the were still flooring it looking behind them at me and got nailed at the radar trap.
So I just drove by them pulled over and yelled "You win".

Kinda of a douche move on my part but I absolutely hate getting tailgated on the highway when I leave you room to pass me and retards that think their paint jobs and neon lights make their cars faster.
