My wife and I were on a road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway this week, and somewhere in northern California we were in the right lane at a stoplight when a yellow crotch rocket with i955 on the tank, squeezed between us and the car in the left lane. I don't know bikes very well and I didn't have much time to check this one out, but as we waited for the light I noticed there was open 2 lane road ahead and no one else around but us.
When the light changed, I let the bike go first, and he promptly moved into the left lane, so I punched it. I'm not really sure if he knew we were racing at first, but when I banged 2nd gear and the new Toyo's hooked up with a yelp, there was little doubt. He was on my front bumper at that point and that's also about the time I started to gain on him. By the time I banged 3rd he was beside my door, and I couldn't help but chuckle as I saw him do a double take as we roared past him. It was a Kodak moment for certain.
I pulled pretty hard on him through 3rd gear, and he had backed off by the time I got to 4th. I slowed down and let him go by and gave him a

Just a couple boys and their toys...
Dang it, I sure love my Z!
