I had the lead when a Kawasaki ninjutsu 1000 blew by me. Instantly adrenalin was flowing through my veins at a level I can only remember feeling when deployed to Iraq. I twist the throttle and committed to myself that I would not let him put any kind of distance on me. This Rider was in a full race suit with knee pucks that barley even existed any more! There were moments where I knew if he lifted at all our tires were going to kiss.... Now this being the dragon I had no intentions of passing at the speeds we were traveling. So now we're at the bottom and pulling into the hotel/gas station, and as we pull into parking spots I can't wait to see what the guy is going to say to me when 3 more Kawasaki ninja 1000's pull in behind us and now I'm caught a little of guard when they all walk up to me in full suits and they were like damn how were you riding like that in blue jeans and a t-shirt, "that was my stupid part". They went on to tell me that they were riding together and every time they would start to catch me on the short straights I would take lines way tighter than they could take and pull away in the corners. I actually apologized because I didn't know there was anyone behind me I was so focused on not giving the guy in front of me an inch........ That was a win for me.......
