i was driving northbound on canada road by redwood city today, and all of a sudden this black figure crept up behind me. at first i thought it was just another boxster, looking for some action. but when we finally got to the Rt92 intersection, i proceeded to I-280 north back to SF, and he continued on Rt92 East, full throttle as he passed me. funny, not once did he try and overtake me on the 2-lane canda road. and it must've been eating him, because i was driving just 54mph in a 50mph zone! curious as to no challenge....although i know i would have been spanked in a big way!

Count your blessings!

Sometimes it's enough to know you can blow frickin' anything off the road at the mere press of the throttle...

BTW, if you're interested in those clear side markers, I didn't buy them from Auto Freak (Japantown) but the little store just down from it in the hallway with the car stuff. It was $5 cheaper there ($25?).

Cheers

That's the beauty of having a big bike guys - you know you can blow even Porsche turbos into the weeds like they were standing still

Unless I misinterpreted your post you're suggesting the S2000 will eat a 911 turbo?

Oh ... hehe... sorry 2kturkey. I thought 'big bike' was a metaphor for 'high performance vehicle'.

I have obviously taken it out of context after reading the previous posts
