The only time(s) I jet away from a (green) light is when I'm driving my 3/4T truck with the camper shell on it and there's some squirt in a ricer next to me revving it up, and having a bunch of popping coming out of the 4 inch fart can at the end of his exhaust system. I just LOVE gettimng a hole shot and being across the intersection before they are. Then they go by running 12k RPM in first gear, while this old fart chuckles.
I once pulled up on the right of a crotch rocket on my HD Low Rider ( Police Special) at an intersection red light. He was right next to a van in the left turn lane.
I eyeballed him. He eyeballed me.
I revved my engine. He did likewise.
I postured for a launch takeoff. He did too.
The light changed. He tore through the intersection, front wheel in the air.
I calmly took off, and waved to the police cruiser that was in the left turn lane of cross traffic - (blocked from view of the crotch rocket by the van) who turned on his lights, hit the siren - went after the crotch rocket - wagging his finger at me....
Bad biker... Bad......
The crotch rocket pulled over two blocks later and I cruised by.....
