On the way home, I was cruising about 80 (on my bike) when a souped up Mustang pulled up beside me, revved his engine and smiled. It was on, in a similar non-adversarial manner.

You may like your 335i but there's just nothing like 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. My personal best is 140 on four wheels, 170 on two. I let up at 170 because, honestly, by that point it was just too damn stupid. One slip up and I wouldn't be sitting here writing this comment.</p> <p>Yes, it's fun. MORE POWER! ;)</p> <p>By the way, why the "WTF?" when he asked about a beer? I meet up with my mother and her fiancee occasionally and we all go for long bike rides. It's nothing for us to stop mid-way for a beer and a sandwich. It's not like we're riding around like drunk maniacs. It is, in my opinion, no different than having a beer over a business lunch and going back to the office.</p> <p>Take care, enjoy the speed. =)</p> Over the weekend I was in my hometown visiting some family.
