I succumbed to the traffic light grand prix last night, not something I do very often.

Realised there was something quite slinky and silver 2 lanes away from me but couldnt see what it was. belted off the lights, we were neck and neck with a bike inbetween us, I took a sneaky look across as I couldnt pull ahead, it was another 3200!

Good work fella!

He was probably concerned that he was seeing things - I've never ever met another 3200 at the lights in a whole years driving!

Have to be a pretty long gap between traffic lights for the gearing to make a difference. I mean I did leave you in dust at VMAX that time, but we were neck and neck up to around 120!

Was the bike not trying then?
