 Mustang tried the Spyder RSS
I don't usually speed or accept races but I was crusing along and came to a stop light. The guy next to me was in a late 90's early 00's Mustang. We made eye contact, he rev'd the engine, though I was hesitant...it was on! Light turned green we took off, Mustang ahead a little then I hit 2nd-3rd and blew passed him. Winner Spyder. At the next light he didn't look at me so I took that as his defeat! What a rush! But don't think I'll be doing that again...So now I retire 1-0 and undefeated, LOL!

Not that I'm an angel, but you might have needed to float a loan to pay the fine and its probably reckless driving in this state same as DWI/DUI. Really expensive.
One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

Roll of the dice
It's a roll of the dice for sure, not something I do very often.
 it was fun while it lasted.

Had a Subaru WRX (Turbo) try to get me to wind up just last week. I was very tempted. However, with my luck, the radar cop would have been watching the whole thing.

Why have a toy if you can't play with it is my philosophy. Been triple digits on nearly every long ride.

I had a guy on a fatboy try to race me once. Pulled up next me on the left side of a two lane at a light. He kept cracking the throttle and staring at me. There was a young female on the backseat and they were both geared like squids. Not even helmets.
Light turned green and I watched in my mirror as he did his best to catch up.
Once I hit 90mph and saw the single lane merge ahead, I waved them forward with my left hand and backed off the throttle.
He roared by with eyes front and I just smiled at his passenger as they went by.

I never race with the Spyder or the car. I just happen to always be the first one off the line and stay there. 
I can beat you one-handed on my Tricycle.

Had the same thing happen to me while riding two up, when he came up beside me at the next light he gave a thumbs up.
