Having just had a friendly tussle with a fireblade round my local 'circuit' on a nice sunny saturday....was wondering if you guys have ever been beaten by anything 4 wheeled and if so what?

Just sold my R1 as i was a big girls blouse, but it still decimated anything 4-wheeled I met on the roads, apart from this heroic Fiat driver in possibly the cheapest, crappest nail i've ever seen!

Even R1's are not unbeatable, I have lost two races on mine to four wheeled foe. One was a Mitsubishi 3000GTO with Wizards of Noz plastered all over it, I was on the red line in sixth, 172 on the clock and it cruised by. The other was a far more heroicly driven "Megablade" kit car, Feckin hooligan he was.

Also had a tussel with a nail of Sierra cossy, sapphire model, smoking like a train it was I let him by then followed him into a roundabout on the A12, he braked early, I thought Pussy, then the brake lights went out, he flicked it one way then slid it right round the r/bout smoke billowing from the arches, lined up perfectly with the exit and he was off. It aint what you got its wether you can ring its neck. Nearly fell off when my jaw hit my knees, well impressed.

I have an R1, but it's no match for the Ultima.

Always a laugh when I let fellow bikers past in the GTR (being a nice biker type myself), they give a nod of 'approval' and then wang the throttle open thinking they'll leave me for dust....


...only to find me easily keeping pace and smiling at them in the mirrors

Had a straight drag race with a 911 last year when I was on a Aprilia RSV Mille.

As I sailed past him he raised his hand in submission which was quite a laugh, as we mutually knew we were giving it everything we had!
