It happened again, III....
Ok,
I got some new skins for the '84, Toyo R1Rs stock sizes, wear rating 140, the "gummi bears", well with the gummis on and warmed up it will drive up the side of a building and sit like a gecko. Driving up Hwy 9 minding my own bidness, when I see a headlight(1) coming up, fast! Can only be 2 options, cop or knee dragger, I am betting knee dragger. Push the skinny pedal down,and start warming up the tires until the mailboxes are gone then......HAMMMER time, Bon Scott is grunting out Gone Shootin' on the stereo, the bypass and Dansk Sport are wailing to match Bon, and the sport is on. Seems the 3.2 is running finely, the gummis are warm and going into every corner and exiting I pull multiple car lengths on the sport bike, he is starting to flail, the '84 isn't even breaking a sweat, for grins I let the late model sport Honda go by, and tuck in behind him. He pulls on the straights, I reel him in in the corners, he finally makes a banzai pass on a back marker car and I back pedal and marvel at just having had lunch, Hondas taste like chicken wings with victory sauce!
