Slow Bike Race Fri 9-23 Street Vibrations

Vegasrider · September 21, 2016, 08:24:12 PM

Everyone is welcome to compete, doesn't cost a cent to participate but you could win something in value, they give away something for 1st. I prefer just to have the bragging rights. 7 P.M. Virginia St, downtown directly underneath the famous Reno sign. The street is closed to all traffic unless you are one of the participants.

If you don't have the nerves to ride in front of hundreds of fellow motorcyclist, you can just watch.

I'm too middle of the road. Too fast for slow riding and too slow for fast riding. Never amounted to anything. $:-\$

Depending on obligations, I'll see if I can break away to see you compete for 1st place. Good luck no matter what!

Do I have to ride a Harley? Because I am literally unbeatable in a slow race on my 100.

Any bike, come on down, I'm heading down there soon.

My competition, RPD Motors, Officer Wright. Spanked him not once, but twice tonight. The 2nd time, he dumped his bike! So disappointed when I got home and found out my helmet cam was not recording. Fortunately, there was someone from work who shot a video of us.

Rematch is set for tomorrow, Saturday 5 P.M.

Spanked by one of our own. Good job Vr. Bet your feeling on top of the world about now.

Raced against a different cop the next day. This time, my camera was working! Notice me at the halfway point begin to ride with one hand, feathering the clutch while I dragged my rear brake, as I "High Fived" the crowd with my right hand.

Going back to the Spring Rally, this makes four straight victories against RPD Motors Unit.

Let me get this right. You were showboating, riding one-handed and you still beat the pro?

Yes, with the aid of the MC. You can hear him in the video that I was riding one handed. Looking forward to the spring rally.

Get you on a trials bike and this could be the slowest race in history!

Vegasrider · November 07, 2016, 08:38:16 PM

Just acquired some new footage, watch the cop almost take me out!

Vr, you had him covered. Congrats!

I have to wonder at what point does the officer determine in his mind that dropping the bike is an option, to win at all costs? Seems like his ego got the better of him.

A good spirited contest though. Surprised that many HD riders came to watch. I mean, it wasn't like there were any of their brand that could compete. And that's saying a lot, considering the type of race!!

Actually a lot of them competed, plus other brands of bikes. They just happen to get weeded out of the competition as RPD and myself kept winning our heats until we became the final two.
