Since we'ere on the topic of racing a buddy I thought I would mention this...
Last weekend a couple buddies and I were riding at a local spot. When we were done we decided to go out in the field and do some drag racing and wheelies just to kill a little more time. My friend on the 450r wanted to see what the Cannondale really had. I started in 2nd gear and jumped out in front and continually pulled away until he shut down. I even missed 3rd gear 3 times. I'm not a drag racer and its time for a tranny oil change. So we raced a few more times and I bet him every time. No matter how horrible I did at the start I always ran him down and killed him. One time I just toyed with him. I look over and he has his head down and crouched over giving it everything it has and powershifting. I just eased off the throttle and fell back beside him. I gave him a smile for a couple seconds like he was finally giving me a challenge. Then I nailed it and left him like he was standing still.
He said he was having some jetting issues. I believe him. It wasn't running like it should but that 450r was way too easy to beat.
