The other day as I was leaving work, I spotted a sport bike coming towards me. As he approached, I noticed that the rider was wearning no protective gear. I just stared at him as he went by. The rider gave me a good rev as he went by staring back. I figured what the hell and decided to go after him. So I followed a few cars back and watched to see where he went. I wasn't about travel 5miles+ just for a race in 90* weather. Luckily he turned off on a semi straight road with decent bends. None that I would attempt over 110mph or anything, but we could get some decent pulls. So I passed one car and got up behind him. I watched his foot click twice and knew he was gonna punch it. So I downshifted to third and we went. He jumped a little but at about 110-120, I reeled him in and gained right back on him. I didn't wanna pass going that fast. At about 135, I had to let off some. Then a bend came up so I slowed down some. We continued this trend for about four miles. Same thing happened nearly every time except when he got on it really well out of the turns. He had a pretty funny look on his face when he turned off. It was like "screw off!".lol Worst part about this race was the highway was one mile away. We could have gotten a real side by side pull to see who was faster with no compromises.

I then later found out from my boss who that guy was(cocky douchebag) and what kind of bike he has. It is a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R bone stock.

Oh yea, and for you nay-sayers on this and my past bike story, here is my proof: Click all of these links and analyze.
GSX-R 600 with a pipe (http://www.dragtimes.com/Suzuki-GSX-R-Timeslip-5609.html)
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R (http://www.dragtimes.com/Kawasaki-Ninja-Timeslip-5337.html)
Compared to my timeslip:

Now, Tat brought something to my attention the other night... 1/8 MPH vs 1/4 MPH. In other words, subtract 1/8 MPH from 1/4 MPH. So

Mine:27.53MPH
GSX-R 600 w/pipe:22.04MPH
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R:21.48MPH

Clearly I accelerate much faster on a highway run.

I don’t see what you are getting at man.

Your 1/8th mile speed is 79mph, theirs is 100mph.
Your ¼ mile speed is 107 and theirs is 122mph.

Your 1/8 mile ET is 9.4, theirs is 7.4.
Your ¼ mile ET is 13.4 (best) theirs is 11.4

I can see you starting to pull him at 130+mph but it would be too late by then, he would be too far away for you to catch up.

I just don’t see it happening. However I wasn’t there, so I’ll take your word for it. Good job!
