In another thread you stated you were 27 years old and a government employee.

When you make stuff up, it's hard to keep the stories straight, eh?

Why is this event a coincidence?

The great thing about this story, for you, is that now you don't need a Porsche - you have that bike and your Z (your Z can smoke your bike, right?) - so there you go. Now you can save your $$$, enroll in school, learn how to write, and when you grow up you'll be all set - don't you love it when life works out?

+1 I suspected that's what was going on here.

Everyone realizes, of course, that edimean22 is really a troll from the 993 boards. He can't drive his 993 because his SAI ports are clogged and his CEL is on. He needs to do something to fill his long, lonely nights!

Mr. Edimean, is not for anything else, a membership to Rennlist is now due for all the great advice you have recieved on this thread. Please display your racing prowess on the track. This is why it is so scary to share the road with some of the fellow users.

Default This story would be much

believable if the roles were reversed. I get bikes reving at me all the time, like its some big secrete that your 160 HP\420 LB bike is going to crush my 385 HP\ 3300 LB car. But here is a news flash, most of us also have bikes and for what ever reason that day we chose to drive our car.

Second it is just pure stupidity to race on the street. I can't cast stones because I am guilty of doing it, but as I get older (31 so not much older than you) I realize just how stupid it is. Its one think if you wreck and you kill yourself, but could you live with wrecking and killing someones child, or someones mother?

I've never read any of your other threads and have no ideal what your motive is, but you are most likely on the wrong website, and actually on the wrong forum as there is a dedicated 997 turbo forum. Good luck to you in life. We were all young once and made mistakes, hopefully you learn from yours before you or someone else gets hurt

OK, this is easy, let me do the math. 1 idiot on a bike plus 1 idiot in a Turbo = 2 idiots. Problem solved.

I think when he says "government employee" he means he works at the DMV.
