Honda CX500 vs 4.6 V8 Range Rover...?

MA70-3.0GT · 12-06-2009, 03:05 PM

As per the title, earlier on today some tw4t in a Range Rover 4.6HSE decided to fly up behind me & then overtake, thinking (as I did, admittedly) his "chelsea tractor" could outrun an old 500 twin... Well I couldn't just let my honour disappear up the road could I, so I dropped the thing down a couple of gears & nailed it.

OK, it wasn't the cleanest cut thing in the world but a 28 year old commuter bike is indeed faster than a 7 year old, ?65k "status symbol" when push comes to shove...

EDIT-: OK, that question mark should be a pound sign. WTF is going on with that then? See, the normal question mark key works fine too... Pound sign-: ????????? Q'm-: ?????????
