Yet another "I can't believe it's a 250!" ride
So some bike lads from my work organised a ride out on motorcycles, and I joined them. Most of the bikes were, well... larger then mine, most were 1000cc+, and the second smallest was a ZR-9R!
The ZR-9R was leading, FZR1300 second, me on my 250R, Triumph ST1050 behind, and some other HD and similar behind... Interesting position, ins't it? The ZR-9R was hammering first, and I was keen on keeping up, but I found the FZR1300 a bit slow - I always had to drop back. Whereas the ST1050 was struggling keeping up with me. When we arrived at our destination, all lads were so much amazed how well this little 250 was doing! "I can't believe it's a 250!" "I thought it's a 600 or 650..." "I couldn't catch up with you." "I've just realised it was "only" a 250!" |

I get it all the time as I go on gorup rides where everyone has a 600 Gixxer or better.
I take the rear since I dont wheelie and it gives me plenty of time to avoid the front runners **** ups. And as I learned today you get to check out all the chicks asses!
