Ricer wins the race

So I was sitting at a traffic light today on my Nighthawk. The light changes and I go through. Apparently my 4k rpm shift from 1st to 2nd got the idiot in the 85 Civic hatchback exited thinking I wanted to race. He proceeded to show me all he's got under the hood. MInd you it ain't that much more than my Nighthawks 73 horses with a wet weight with me on of less than 700lbs. He's screaming down the 25 mph city street, smack, crash, boom. Right into the rear of the truck in front of him. I must say I was impressed with how the coffee can exhaust held up during the accident.

It'll be a sad day and also my last day on this site if this thread is closed. Any idiot who's been on a Jap bike a 4k shift is like shifting a WRX at 1.5k. I wasn't even close to my powerband. I was simply trying to get a little speed built up to be able to cool off the engine from waiting for the previous light cycle 4 or 5 times. The bike is completely stock including pipes so she's about as loud as a "normal" Civic sans the coffee can. Of course I wish I had a camera but that would've been kind of difficult to handle while riding though.

That Civic dude was sad. Ruined his car in a silly *perceived* street race... tsk tsk

I agree. This thread shouldn't be locked. It shows what responsible driving and stupidity look like all at the same time!

Like was said - a 4k shift on a bike is just about bogging it. Thread won't be locked for obvious reasons.
sheesh

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.
