hopefully nobody is getting tired of hearing my street encounters:ummm: , but you have to understand living around wyotech it could be a daily occurrence. bumping through the red lights on my way to get the wife from work, i finally took the pole position.everyone running 60-70ish i don't like people riding on my rear fender so at the last light before my exit, nice straight piece of pavement ahead w/no possible cross traffic, we launch:rocket bike:,as I'm nearing my exit I'm at or around 85ish i glance in the mirror to see this impatient motorist split the yellow line or the passing lane and the berm w/ his automobile, he passes the now merging into the slow lane slower car, as this guy cut the caboose loose he was determined to reclaim the ground i had put between myself and the rest of the pack.with there being multiple unmarked cars around here, i figured whelp how fat is this ticket going to be.......:hmmm: so i back off a bit,a useless effort in hopes he thinks maybe he has miscalculated my aggressiveness,by the time I'm taking my exit he is right beside me,abt 100 yards before the first turn i glance over and and see no cop,exit goes into one lane,he drops RIGHT behind me and as the second lane opens up he jumps back into the fast lane,we both have the same thing in mind, I'm thinking come on Michelin Road Pilots hold your ground,first we go into a 110MPH left corner, nothing big ,tires gripping, good lean, angle ok, yea we've been here before:coolgleamA:,still side to side, the corner relaxed into a short straight stretch,right into a Lil tighter and longer right hand corner,taking the corner tight to give him some room, so if he decided to take some of my lane, he didn't take me with it,abt 1/4 into the turn everything starts to pucker up,knowing i haven't taken this corner even close to these speeds without using both lanes (butterflies,numbness & knots)1/2 through the turn I'm loosing traction and sliding to the middle of my lane,now very quick calculation at this rate at the end of this turn if this guy is hugging the inside of his lane i should be just abt into the passenger side door ,in my book this = not good..lol,speed unknown at this time,i have a few choices, back out, hook a ride on the passenger door or lean pass my comfort zone. everything puckered completely SHUT! at this time, i have no communication between brain and right wrist, so we must lean, this slows the ground loss from right to left and its a very uneasy feeling , by the time we hit the last 1/4 part of this turn, I'm 3/4 of the way across my lane, man handling max to stay black and red w/o a touch of silver and I'm sure the car wanted to stay silver w/o a touch of black and red,ok its time to become vertical, as we end the turn and start into the straight i look down and were @ 130ish, entering the straight i think we both had enough,it didn't go anywhere from there.i have never heard these tire grunt till then,max is for straights not turns,something a already knew, although i think he did very well,and Kloker, thanks for suggesting the Michelin's, when i got to the wife to pick her up, i guess i had this stupid grin on my face because the first thing she asked was " what did you do"....lol outta time and outta space. later
