So after running a few fruitless errands this afternoon I was heading back to base where I live. It's about a 10 mile stretch of 4 lane through prairie from the north end of town to base. Leaving town there was a tuned up Acura with a carbon hood etc trying to pass me. I downshifted and left him. After a speed zone and bottleneck for a few hundred feet of construction, I moved over to the right lane and was cruising along at about 70-75 in 5th. I check my mirror and soon enough he is flying by me in the left. I refuse to downshift to catch a lowly cage so I use that V-4 top gear roll on I love so dearly. Soon I am approaching 115..20.. 25. I still haven't quite passed him but I am within a few car lengths. We are both approaching traffic in our respective lanes and both roll off.
He looked surprised that a "cruiser" caught him, but I think that when I let him by me, and then proceeded to chase I led him to think I was giving everything I had.
Still it left me wishing I had downshifted and left him instead of toying with him.
