yep. no joke.
i was on my way home from a nice long ride, after stopping for lunch and apple pie in Julian, CA. was heading west on the 78 (still east of the 15) and got caught behind a brand spanking new looking 911 turbo with dealer plates on it.
waiting, waiting, waiting, until i had a bit of a straight to pull around him before getting back into the twisties. cruising at 50 (speed limit 55), dropped to third, opened the throttle, drop the clutch and i was around him. i slow way down for the first of several curves and notice that he has pulled right up on my tail. i accelerate through the turn and he follows suit.
i lean hard into the next turn, doing about 70 (in a marked 35mph turn) and can hear his tires making a little noise. i know i could have taken the turn faster, but i dont know the road that well, so i am going easy. i pull away just a bit through the next couple of turns before popping a wheelie and riding that out into the triple digits on the speedo.
oh, wait, he didnt stand a chance. i was on my '07 Suzuki GSX-R600. am i posting this in the wrong forum?
