I used to love doing the TLGP down the A45 going into Birmingham, south yardley to tyseley, 40mph and *loads* of traffic lights. I'd nail it off the line, stick to 40, some 100yrds later the faster cars would come by doing 50+ only to have to stop at the next set of lights. I'd filter to the front and repeat.

Occasionally there would be another bike, 99% of the time they wouldn't try or were blown away. One of only two times[1] I got bested on the SV in the TLGP was down that bit of the A45 and by a girl on a GSXR1000, first set of lights I filtered up behind her, wasn't expecting her to launch it that fast, fluffed my launch and was left for dead. Next set of lights I lined up in the next gap across and gave it a full bore everything launch and pipped her by a nose to ~40 but she kept going when I backed off.

[1] Other time was an R1 in an NSL, pretty even up to 60 but then the R1 just buggered off.

i had a good one with a few people a while back; bloke on a zx6r, a little nsr125 and a coriour (sp i know!). I was too enthusiastic and ended up popping a wheelie which ruined my chances of the win. coriour dude got away dead quick, he'd had all day to practise. 125 guy was actualy quite good and zx6r man just about won to the enxt set of lights

How awfully childish!

I just can't believe how dangerous some people can be...

Anyway, first run out on the VFR and I'm filtering between 1st and 2nd lane coming up to the lights when they change a bit earlier than expected. I wound it on a bit, and released the clutch I'd been slipping. WHOA NEDDY!! I went past the two cars either side with the front wheel up in the air - adrenaline is brown.

Several years ago, on a bimble out in the sticks a Mini decides to see how close he can get to my rear. SWMBO suggested we pull over and let him past. After a few miles we come to a bend that gets tighter, and tighter, and tighter. Footpeg is bouncing, SWMBO is tapping morse code on my back with her fists. I look in the mirror as I exit the corner to see the Mini going thro' the hedge. There is a God, and he is a biker!

You are all very naughty, and should behave more responsibly.

Few miles further up the road they pull in for fuel and the Aston pulls in behind. The passenger in the Aston who happened to be a rather attractive young lady wandered over to my mates girlfriend and they started discussing how men will be men....until she asks "oh how fast does the bike go"? My mates girlfriend, all innocent like replies, "Oh we don't know, we're having to take it easy until it's run in". Comment was obviously relayed back to the car because the look on Mr. Astons face as he left was priceless!
