Pickup truck drivers?

ever notice that drivers in pickup trucks always want to race bikes? Especially if they put on a loud exhaust or did any other mods. Happens to me every day. Im thinking dude even a slow bike will beat a fast truck! I shut these fools down all the time with a quick launch but dam it gets old.

    Did you also notice that 99.999...% of them have a good exhaust tone and don't yeven realize that they lost torque by putting that nice sounding pipe on LMFAO @ them!!!

    B. T. W, torque EQUALS quickness, for those who dk...

    ( A REALLY, REALLY ! basic way to look at it is that horsepower is top speed and torque is quickness {how fast you can get to that top speed})

    Amen! I could not agree with you more. I have an economy car (2010 Corolla, 27+mpg) all the way up to a lifted F-350 Crew Cab Utility bed 4x4 truck sitting on 37" tires that gets 11mpg on a good day (not to mention my hot rod that gets about 4.5mpg). That is my problem, not some bleeding heart liberals problem. What I notice most when driving my stupid big truck is I get cut off daily by the little "raced out" Hondas and such. They love to squeeze between me and whatever is in front of me. It blows my mind that they would be in such a hurry that they would cut of a 10,000lb+ truck. Good thing I have drilled and slotted rotors to help it stop quick. Lets rant about electric cars too......what happens when the batteries die? They do not decompose, they go to a landfill and all their poisons seep back ito the earth. That sounds real good for the environment. What about the battery manufactures strip mining for their minerals. And then there is the electricity that needs to be produced to charge said cars. It isn't free and it creates smog and pollution just like an internal combustion engine, but the liberals think that is ok because the are not directly (so they think) producing as much smog out of their tail pipe.

    be careful around these kind of people, you can find them driving almost anything, try not to entertain them, it will only encourage them, get away from them as quick as you can. those people are just an accident looking for a place to happen and you will be the one hurt. also the cops will not see them but they will come after you.

    I like to nod my greeting at them, the putter away from the line. It's better to feed their ego and hope for a cop with good eyesight.

    Ever notice the racers are in your lane, waiting for a fall... "Honest, cop, he just fell down right in front of me and I rolled over him.".
