After a long night of boozing, i awoke at a friend's house at 6am before the sun even came up..it was getting light out but was very overcast and gray.
I went out, warmed up the bike while pounding an arrowhead bottle to clear up the foul mess that resided in my mouth from last night.
I say peace to my friend and head home....I merge onto the 71fwy heading towards the I-10 (which I have to exit and ride about 1 mile on surface streets to tranfer to the 10)
As i enter the freeway doing about 75-80mph, i see 2 cars coming up fast...it turns out to be a BRAND NEW Porsche 911 twin turbo (doesnt even have plates yet), and his friend in a new ferrarri marinello (sp?)
I think nothing of it as they fly by, but soon after we come up on light traffic and they're forced to slow down. At this point, i'm like fuck it lets have a little fun.
I swwoped around the ferrarri and was now inbetween them both. The 911 waited for an opening and downshifted HARD! that car sounds so damn sick its not even funny. I could hear the turbos spool and saw the rear-end dip and launch. (this is at 80mph!)
He jumped about 2 cars instantly and i dropped to 5th (probably should've went to 4th but whatever)...he couldn't open the gap any further but i couldn't gain any ground.
It stayed like this till 130mph and i let off (just not worth it)..Now i'm pissed at myself and feel owned. i wanted to go home, sell the bike and walk for the rest of my life hahaha
Fast Forward about 2 miles later. I'm exiting the 71 to go to the I-10. Who is at the off-ramp light? none other than Mr. Porsche himself.
As I pull up he looks over and laughs as i give him the thumbs up (i admit defeat, even tho i hung with him on the 600)....as the light turns green he hauls ass AGAIN. i didn't even bother until we approach the next light as it turns red.
Payback time asshole! I tell him to roll his window down, and in typical F&F style i ask him "how much did that POS cost you?"
He chuckled and said "alot more than that slow thing"....so i offered him a challenge from the light...he rolls up the window and proceeds to do a mean ass burnout warming up the tires and revving his beastly engine.
I sit concentrating on the light and see that its about to turn green...i launched as he spun the tires..by the time he had traction i was hitting 9K and my powerband..i jumped out about 5-6 cars immediately
hit 16K, shift and by the end of 2nd i was at 102mph and he was damn near 15 cars back (guestimate)..i let off and turned around to wave him up (as in saying c'mon man i'm waiting on you)
We hit another red and he rolls down the window again to say "wow i didn't expect that"
i apologized for the slaughter and we got on the I-10 where he again took off like a bat out of hell and i, like the champ i was....merged onto the freeway and cruised at a steady 70mph, my head high from victory!
hahahahaha it was great!
BTW, the ferrari wanted NOTHING to do with it...he cruised the whole way, and while following his buddy onto the 10, flew by with a thumbs up to seal the deal.
