Took out a bike..... Almost.

I was coming home from a big car show in Lake George Saturday night. My GF and I are just rolling along at about 65, when I see a single headlight in my rearview. Turns out to be a friend of mine on his Suzuki Bandit 600, going home from the same show. As it's about 1:00 am, with no traffic, I guessed he'd be looking to play a little. I armed the NOS system, and looked over, just in time to see him downshifting about 4 times. When he heard me grab 2nd, he lays onto the throttle. I punched it and grabbed a handfull of button, and immediately grabbed a length. When I hit third, I had pulled to nearly 2 lengths. Just about then, the bottle ran dry. The car noses over, I come off the button, and the throttle, and he sails right on by. That's what I get for not checking the bottle. :-)

lol sounds like fun, I have ran a few around here just from a light and surprised a few, once I get above 100 km/k (60mph) it's usually over but up untill then I usually have them by a few lengths. If it's a good driver, or anything bigger than a 600 it's over before it starts, but still fun though.
