BAck when I had the Busa (03 stealthedition) I was on the Leeds ring road when a porsche Fwd pulled up along side full on turbo and parked up next to me on the shellgrip. I bailed as the idea of arriving at King lane roundabout doing in excess of three figures didnt appeal, It sets off very little fuss but a slight scrabble of all four wheels on the shell grip..... rapid, on paper yes it should have been me but not that day.

Power to weight ratio against grip. That's the story.

There are lots of cars out there that have the potential to surprise a bike rider.
