Yeah that about sums up highway driving in Jersey. I see it every day on my way to work on 295 which my average speed is 75-80 and thats in the middle lane.

Re: Do you attract ricers?

I always get someone wanting to race me when i'm riding my GSX-R 600... It's kind of fun to let them think they are faster, then barely twist the throttle and pass them. After that, i let 'em go. I can't afford a ticket or to fix anything that could go wrong with my bike. My cougar gets a few challenge attempts... But, why try to race a charger? Makes no sense to me...

Around here if you think about challenging a charger, you'll get pulled over. All the cops around here are getting new chargers. Marked and unmarked, black, white or blue...

Yeah, don't underestimate a DSM. All they need is a boost controller to get a decent amount faster.

They are getting them out here too. But, i never think to challenge them, they rev their engines at me... It's only happened twice though.

Right but at the same time, it still shouldn't out run a bike....

Re: Do you attract ricers?

The worst is the cavaliers that go past you thinking they are all bad.
With most likely just an intake/aftermarket muffler on.
I LOL when that happens. They are probably sitting at about 140hp or so, but think they are kings.

Re: Do you attract ricers?

I seem to attract idiot rednecks in huge, obnoxiously loud trucks. I usually try to let them go, but some of them will literally try to run you off the road if you ignore them or get ahead of them, so I end up having to do some crazy ass maneuvering just to protect my self and my car. And then there are the morons who pull out RIGHT in front of you like they're in a huge hurry, then drive 40 in a 55.
