Well,
As it happens, I was on my way to San Jose via Bear Creek Road, (which makes the 'Ring look Bonnyville) to get my medical renewed, when I came up on an Infinity G35, we were on the lower sections with a bunch of flat straights. I do enough going fast in a straight line at work, at home, I back pedal.
Why is every toolbag in a car faster than a Yugo think they should race a Porsche? I held my speed at 5 over and the G35 pulled away, probably a meth runner anyway, who cares right?
I get to the uphill twisties and warm up the gummi bears, oopps, there is the G35, he sees me and hits the gas, I roll in a little gas and stay 10 car lengths back( I want a good view when he grinds the embankments), after about 5 turns he pulls over to let me by, ok time to see if he can hang, nope, Infinity cant hang, wasn't even on boogie.
Well the medical was passed without issue, decided to head over to HWY 9 for a cruise back home. Got past the lower straights without drama, when a BMW Sport Touring bike comes up fast and starts doing the "if you don't pull over I will pass you over the double yellow dance" Luckily the corner section was right there, wicked it up a bit to get some heat into the tires and left him like a bad habit, slowed on the straights and teased him. Too easy with the gummi bears.
