So yesterday when I was riding home from work up highway 63 (speed limit 65mph) everything was a normal 70mph cruise with traffic building up in front of me and me waiting for a passing lane(its a two lane with alternating passing lanes)... the first to go down in seca dust would be a Land Rover, Range Rover, or so I thought....
When a passing lane opened up the range rover pulled around the car in front of him and I followed... I kept following noticing the wind resistance was picking up, I looked down and we were going around 90mph. No big deal it was just to pass a couple cars. Back to the two lane.... The range rover was averaging a higher speed then me so I just followed behind.... wasnt too bad thought id make good time... next group of cars came up... wait again for a passing lane.... when the passing lane finally came the range rover took off... I followed behind only this time he just kept speeding up... I was thinking what the hell Ill keep up with him its just a range rover.... So I got into a full tuck, toes on the pegs knees in head under my windscreen, knees in, elbows in, damn good posture if i do say so myself... rather quickly 90, 100, 105,110,115.... I mean Im givin her all shes got captain!!!! She topps out at 118mph and the range rover is still going! :censor: He just keeps pulling away! I was almost embarrassed but I decided Id just slow down to 85, which keep in mind is still 20 over and a felony, and let him be my rabbit. He eventually hit a group of cars and I caught up. I got a look at the driver and its some old guy and his wife! The things packed down with travel stuff and its got a nav system and all the creature comforts...
I guess the guy was just in a hurry cause he hauled balls all the way up that highway, and not just 20 over... Idk where he was going but his plates were Arkansas...
Today is a sad day for secas everywhere.... in the battle between heavy land yachts and light nimble secas the land rover smoked my ass! :what:
