Just a little experience on my LC that makes me smile and wonder. When my LC was a 250 I was out with a mate on the back and I pulled up at a set of lights next to two 16yr olds on 50's. They both looked at me and the bike and one of them gave the 'give it some' signal with that throttle motion we've all done. So the lights then changed and they both got of the mark before me.
As I was 2up it hit 6k and she was up a goodin and I went past them both on the back wheel. My mate and I both looked at them as we went past with my mate woohooing and laughing whilst the one who said give it some was wide eyed and jaw on the floor. When I changed into 2nd it just bounced back up and kept on going. I'll never forgot that lads face as I overtook lol.
But what I always wonder is if he tells the same story to this day and does he still ride? did that moment define the type of bikes he would always ride? I guess I'll never know
