Vw takes crotch rocket

Found this online.

This is some funny ***.  Not to many guys would fess up to this.
This is the best line from the piece:
"I think I made some pathetic attempt to raise my hand slightly to give him the thumbs up but I don’t think I made any noticeable gesture. I probably just looked like a retard…whatever. "  :lol:  :lol:

Nice.  :)  I showed that one popular Youtube vid of that black bug just prosecuting a Mustang to a friend of mine and his jaw dropped for like 5 days.  :D  Just recently after that, we went to a NOPI event and there was a bug running 9 seconds there, with turbo aircooled engine.  :)  There was another one that had a turbo Ford 2.3 swapped in it (???) and was only running 12's.  

I had a run against a Honda cruiser bike with my Rocco.  I was going down a 45mph road, and it came flying up a side road and I thought it was not going to stop in time.  Came out right after me, so I downshifted quietly to 4th and waited to see what would happen.  Sure enough, he pegs it to try and pass me, I drop into 3rd, and floor it, he gets along side of me, then starts going backwards.  :)  By the time I hit 5th he was a few lengths behind me.  I bet he thought about that one a few times that night.  :D
