This is really not a race per say...both sides were just having fun.
Just seeing if it is someone from here that has a Grey one that looked to be newish. I was the 2001 Cougar ZN that was behind you when you went up to 110mph and I was still on your ass...LOL That was fun...I got up to 130mph on that fly by I did when you were around 110mph. What speed did you get up to on that run?
Oh, how did you like the passing on shoulder move...hehehe I hate doing that but that truck was closing fast and the right shoulder looked good...plus what up with the traffic on I-94 all driving int he fast lane...I mean come on get over.
Just wanted to say good run.

hehehe...yeah I should have the FZ1 out but I need to pay off debt so the bike is out on ebay.
I am looking at getting a Turbo setup and some other cheap mods...well if you call spending $2K-$3K cheap...hehehe But do not plan to do them till next year, or next winter. I have too many hobbies which I made more to support of my extra activities :-(

The windows were a deep tint, I could only see the outline of the driver...I do not believe there was a passanger. I did not see a windshield sticker but I was not really paying attention to him behind me. He was driving a little more agressive then me and when we got near Kalamazoo he lost me becaus eI backed off...I already got 3 tickets this year 2 on the bike and one in the car....lol
I like this board no bashing of cars/trucks...thats cool. I thought maybe someone would flame...I think more boards should be like this :-)

I dunno but you woulda had to go faster than 130 to pass me. My truck has no top end limiter and I've had it right around 130. It's hard to push a big refridgerator up the road. :D
