Hi all.

I have a 1st gen TL. But I also have a Kawasaki Ninja EX500.

I was on the Ninja on a two lane road when a silver G35 started tailgating me. This is doubly annoying and dangerous on a bike so I gave them the back off signal. The piss ants decided to do a big display and pull up alongside me (driving in opposing traffic lane).

The passenger (a wigger) rolled down the window and said "let's go bitch." I gave a nod, snapped down my visor and downshifted 2 gears. Needless to say, I left them standing still.

I get revved in my TL all the time, which I ignore because it would just be brutal. Here's the proof. Apparently G35 owners will race anything on the road, even a sport bike.

When I get behind or close to a biker, I gave them extra room. God forbid if any of them falls, I'd have enough room to move out of the way. I am very careful when it comes to having a bike near me.
However, having that said, most of the bikers I come across are prett cock, revving and doing tricks.....

ride safely buddy.

I'm a pretty docile rider. At least I think I am.

I don't do any tricks and I never weave through traffic unless its because somebody barged into my lane.

But yes, some motorcycle riders do some messed up stuff. Gives every rider a bad rep.

i do the same. i work in a Level I trauma room from time to time and have seen the aftermath of road vs. biker or worse yet, biker vs. motor vehicle. careful out there.

you are very right about g35 drivers i had one try to race me off of a light yesterday...when i say he tried i mean i merked on him lol

HAHAH racing a bike? I dont know of any stock cars under 100 grand that will take out a real sport bike. I love seeing guys on bikes, I usually get out of their way (driving around them makes me paranoid, like i might hit em or something), but the best is when they look over at your gawking at their bike, and put on a show for you. Bikes are sickk

The owner of the place where i work financed Lamboghini Gollardo (or however you spell it)
He told me that he raced a ninja Right from the Stop and he Won. He also said that we both accelarated to see whos sound is louder and yeah ofcourse the lamboghini sounded like a KingKong.

you should ask this man to adopt you. at $175,000 per car he obviously has money.

and yes, i second that many of the G35 coupe drivers are pricks. civic drivers too.....and preludes....and integras.....and SUV drivers....and women....don't forget them.....

^^I agree, just about everyone except for TL drivers are a waste. Just kidding, there are exceptions but it seems like a majority of drivers in those categories are pricks.

there are definitely plenty of TL drivers who are pricks i'm sure i've been one of them a few times.

Yeah...I guess that's true. And I am sure I've been one as well.

While there's no way an NA G35 will beat an EX500, I have to say an EX500 is hardly what I call a "sport bike". Two of my friends used to have new Ninja EX500s back when I was in college 12 years ago. Those bikes are hardly what I call fast because my mid 13 second 94 Z28 would give those V-twin 60hp EX500s a huge run for their money. We're talking neck and neck up to 100mph and after that, I'd walk away. A fresh running EX500 (or now known as the 500R), is a lower 13-second at 100mph bike IN PROFESSIONAL HANDS. Most riders are lucky to extract mid to high 13s in the upper 90s. After 90mph, the EX500 is weak sauce.

Oh I agree. Its not a very fast bike in regards to bikes.

But its quite sporting. Those things are quick around a track. And it handles very nicely.

Most smaller engined bikes lack in the top end. Great acceleration though. Under 4 second 0-60. Its the 1/4 and longer where they lose out.

They're excellent 1st time rider bikes and true commuters. Still plenty quick, but not so quick to get yourself killed instantly. Cheap, bulletproof, strong lowend torque, and awesome mpgs, you can't go wrong with the EX500.

My bro used to have a gsxr600, I rode it all the time. I hated the fact that every ricer takes a bike as an automatic race. Give bikes a break, it's hard enough riding around 3000lb obstacles w/o worrying about some guy trying to race you.

Heyyy not ALL g35 coupe drivers are pricks! I used to drive a g35 coupe... haha
