stupid is trying to get out again

[mrlogix]

back when I first started to learn about the Buell bikes and this forum I posted a thread about a stunt I pulled on my boss http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/General-Motorcycle-Chat/inthe-dog-house-again
Well now I have a 1125R and stupid is trying to get out of the cage again. He has modified the Ducati with an after market pipe and ecm and he is no longer my boss. I was a contract employee at the aviation company I work for and he was the owner of the contract company. Since then I have been hired as a full time employee at the aviation company but we still work in the same building. I rode the Buell to work today for the first time and happened D) to park next to his Ducati. He didn't know I bought the Buell and was asking everyone around him this morning who it belong to. Someone finally told him it was mine and he has avoided me all day. A couple of the guys at work have some nice bikes but, nothing that could keep up with him. Should I push on or let him live in peace. I always have taught my sons that 'Just because some one owns a Ferrari, doesn't mean he knows how to drive it'. All the other guys that have nice bikes can't keep up with him because of his straight line performance, and his money,not his skill. Sooooo, to eat Italian or not to eat Italian, that is the question.

Should give him a good run if not beat it. All depends on who's got more wind resistance.

Unless im mistaken
Ducati is showing 100hp/76tq top speed 11.3:1 compression
Buell at 146hp/111tq 12.3:1 compression
Something else thats interesting the Ducati only gets 8-10mpg thats got to be wrong!

On another note I pulled my xb out last night and the power is night and day difference, love my 1125

This is what it made the last time I ran it on a dyno, right at 140 hp and 90 ft/lbs of torque at the wheel.

he is still avoiding me

So does he brag about how he is faster than all the other bikes at work?

Are you asking if you should ask him to race, or just talk some **** about his slow bike?

up until two days ago he talked 'King of the Hill'. He saw me leave the other day (I didn't know he was watching) and I pulled out and got on it a little heavy. Front waving in the air in first and second, and they said he's not talking about his bike anymore. He won't turn his traction control off because he panics when his front end gets light. I'm not going to challenge him, but everyone is kind of goading him trying to get him to challenge me. Kind of feeling sorry for the guy. No, not really because I had to work for him for three years hearing several times a week about the superiority of European Bikes compared to the Japanese and American bikes. I'm just sitting back seeing what happens, but the little imp named stupid in my head is cursing profusely at me for not going ahead and settling it with him. Not trying to be smug or an *******, just being patient and reeling him in.
