RACE of my lifetime,so far...Whats yours? (long story) - General Sportbike Discussion

Heading to my bro's house Saturday, about 11am. Decided to try a different route that goes over lake (had never went that way before). Stopped at one of the last few stoplights, traffic was kinda moderate, so I was scanning the other cars. Looked a few cars up and saw a new Ferrari. I was thinking "noice!!!!!" and wanted to get a closer look. Light turns green, I slowly make my way up to it but we both got caught at the last light. I'm about 2 cars back, couldn't tell if it was a Modena, Enzo or Spider, but I think Spider. Light changes to green, and as soon as I pull up behind the damn thing for closer look, the driver nails it, scratched the tires and everything. I'm like, "wtf? Well,we'll both go to jail today!" And I wot, of course bike shoots straight up I ride 2nd out, put tire down and shot by him in 3rd, damn near pulled his emblems off. From that point on it was about 6 miles or so of nothing under 100+ in pretty deep curves, and 150+ on straights, bridges, etc...Although I wasn't familiar with that road,I was killing him, UNTIL the road got so bumpy that it was throwing me and the bike around, so I just slowed down to 130. Thats when I hear him beeping his horn as he passes me on a straight. Hard, blind left turn coming up and I swore he would either brake hard or lose it. Nope, damn ferrari hooked that curve at 130 with ease, looked like one of those racecarts, and here I am with a good lean angle but the bumps giving me hell. We finally made it to the end of lake, both had to slow to 30 due to traffic. He then swings and fishtails a hard right toward the mansions/lakehouses. I chunked him the deuce as to say nice drivin, but he just looked and kept going. As he was turning I tried to lean down to see the driver but the Ferrari was so low, I had to bend down. Now get this, either it was a blonde chick, or a guy with a hat, real feminine looking and blonde hair down his back.

Had the time of my life, felt like a movie or video game, especially since I had my own soundtrack playing thru my ipod. When we passed by the houses u could see the people outside looking for us (I'm assuming they could hear us coming)and their heads snap by as we passed. Looked in mirror on some parts and u could see paper or leaves flying as we passed through, the bridges, the lake. I've raced plenty of cars, but none for that long through turns and light traffic, and none that could even come close to keeping up as much as that Ferrari did. The whole scene was crazy!!!!

Ok, Im done.

I'm sure someone else has stories similiar or better....

I have a bunch of stories just like that. Just substitute "cop" for "ferrari" and we all do lol

Oh yeah, damn...well in that case this wasn't the race of a lifetime. Hell, this story didn't even include my usual double back, lights off, back alley, or my ninja skills of laying bike down on side and crouching in the shadows....Ok, well nevamind, disregard this thread....
