    Two guys on matching Ducati Monsters pulled up beside me at a stop light tonight - they were more than a little shocked when I stayed right beside them when the light turned green before backing off. Hope I didn't make it more difficult for them to make their next loan payment lol

    Anyone else with a XJ tease story ?

    Was riding my XS11 last year and was stopped at a traffic light on a 4 lane road with a long stretch of straight in front. A Corvette pulled next to me and reved his enging many times. I could not resist. When the light turned green he laid into it with a bit of tire squeal. I did not want to race just try to keep up, so I did all the way to 110 it was right behind him. I was paying attention to what I saw way far ahead he was not. I backed off and slowed down to 55 he did not. He kept accelerating and I let him go. When I finally passed him the cop was right behind him with blue lights and siren.

    These stories make me happy. Me and my buddies do it all the time on short roads when we are f***ing around and no one is in sight for miles.

    This is a story from years ago but it was on a Yamaha just not an XJ so here it goes - On my RD350, I pulled up to a light beside a motorcycle gang member on a Harley - now back in those days these biker gangs didn't always have the best looking or running bikes but hey hated bikes from Japan ( some of you will remember us saying Japanese junk lol ) and particularly two stroke jap bikes. All I remember when the light turned green was hearing the Harley sputter under power beside me, when I looked in the rearview mirror he vanished into a cloud of blue 2 stroke oil smoke - I didn't want to have him near me again for good reason - hope you enjoyed it

    Let me just say " I didn't start this conversation to encourage anyone to race and get hurt " I never really race I just tease a little and back off once it's somewhat clear who might win a race. It not worth killing yourself over. In the case of a vintage bike just showing them that these machines were better than they realized. Be safe friends - thanks for posting - keep them coming
