So I'm researching the Mines road rally for the 914 Marck Breakfast and I run across a road bike site with some great pix and description of the run. I read into it further and find this:

Once onto Mines Road, it opens up a bit and it becomes a descent road. The only bad part of this was I ran into some Porsche club running single file. In there mind, I'm sure they thought they were going fast. I pull out over the broken yellow to pass and the lead bastard gets on the gas. +125mph riding two up drag racing some prick in a Porsche is not the smartest thing I have done but I did get around him. Just to prove the point that 2 wheels and built in Italy beats 4 wheels and built in Germany.

Sounds like a challenge!

Awww Geezzz...

You guys sound like a bunch of OLD FARTS!

Can't you remember being young and dumb? (and indestructable to boot)

Way before I ever started drivers-ed events and club racing, I used to take the old man's hot rod turbo out and scare the shit out of those damn itallian speghetti specials. I never found one that could take the heat. Now granted, this was in a state where there are no twisty roads, and I was young and dumb, but most bikes seem to give up at somewhere around 150-160mph. A friend of mine at the time would brag to me about his Ducati and his Moto Guzzi until I gave him a ride in that turbo. That car was kinda fun.

Now that I'm older, and know how to navigate a race track (and have become destructable) I don't play such games on the street, BUT it does remind me of my youth.....

You are only young once.....

BOTH DICKS WERE WRONG. Racing takes at least two.
