I can take you into downtown Atlanta, GA. bumper to bumper traffic that is moving at
50-55 mph and show you a half dozen crotch rocket riders running together that will make
this guy look like an amateur!!!!! Of course Atlanta drivers are amongst the worst in the
world for quick lane changing and these CR boys will with great regularity make large
greasy spots on the road.

Whew, I've seen this one before... WILD!

It DOES give viewers an idea of the kind of performance "crotch-rockets" have though. One of the craziest things I've done in years was trade my scoot with a 17-year-old fellow's modded rocket one night last summer.

I was gassing up, and the guy liked my scoot, and asked if I'd like to trade and go for a ride... OH YEAH... Like I'd turn THAT offer down... His bike was a big cc Honda (I'm not even sure of the model) with the handlebars down somewhere around the front axle... LOL! and the seat up in the air. He later told me it had been punched out to over 2,000 cc. It also had NITROUS...

Before we went off down the road, he made sure to explain how to get the most enjoyment out of the Honda... he said give it about 10-grand on the tack, dump the clutch and when the tire bites, hit the nitrous...

He was NOT kidding... You know what they say: "ride it like ya' stole it".

The road was empty, and after a couple of practice starts, my stupidity overcame my common sense. OH YEAH!!! Can you say 0 to 60 in 1 second, in first gear? Knuckles white, hanging on and 4 gears banged in 6 seconds... The clock showed 170 mph and still two gears to go. THAT was enough.

Doggone thing had BRAKES to equal the acceleration, too... Coming to a stoplight, I did a magnificent (though unplanned) "stoppie". The owner was duly impressed at such prowess from a 64-year-old biker... HeHeHe...

Minutes later, I heard the poot-poot-poot of my "Lil' Bubba approaching. We went back to the gas station and shared a greasy sausage. He asked how I liked the bored and stroked bottle-baby Honda? "MIGHTY SPEEDY" I replied! I asked how he liked the scooter... He said it was swell, but "kinda slow"... LOL!

I told him it only had 9 horsepower. He thought it over and said it wasn't bad considering that. I asked him about the engine in the Honda... He related it had "about 250 hp and around 450 to 500 with the nitrous on"... I believe him... I BELIEVE HIM!

There IS a definite appeal to those crotch-rockets. But the seating position hurts my back... And the insurance premiums hurt my wallet.

Ride safe... at least safer than our Ruskie friend!

Enjoy that screaming 9 hp...
