Rvl's Pick: Music is my Boyfriend - Cansei De Ser Sexy
There's an extent where caring for your vanity goes, trick is to find the line.
I was in the middle of a mad rush at the heart of the city centre when i noticed the car to my right driving rather erratically. few glances once i'm side by side to the driver reveals a knock-out of a woman which would get any mans pulse racing.
My stalk/stare session was cut short moments later when said driver sideswipe a motorcycle, knocking off the rider and pillion. All parties survived the incident, but instead of stopping the girl made it a point she'd rather make a break for it then be a good Samaritan by actually stopping to check on the injured party.
This did not bode well with other road users and sorry to say that the hot chick's car got a few more scars complimentary of several angry mob. Honey, you're cute and everything, but stop messing with your hair and concentrate on driving please.
Yesterday i had to make 3 separate trips to the city centre and my HQ. which wouldn't have been so bad if i hadn't gotten stuck for an hour in the rain. work has been quite a menopausal bitch lately and i had initially wanted to let some steam off playing golf.
However something more interesting happened on the way back, as i joined the freeway from the main street i was greeted by a beautifully thundering V4 power-plant. An Aprilia RSV4 Factory decided to partake in a little "scrimmage" and after exchanging pleasantries we went about terrorizing society. Filtering at triple digits, excessive leans, and breakneck acceleration. Traffic was where i could shine, everywhere else the Factory blew me a dust trail. We soon retired from playing cat and mouse and decided to take a leisure pace when a driver of Porsche 911 GT3 decided that he was top dog on the highway. After about 2 minutes or so trailing behind the struggling GT3, the highway clears and as the car gunned his throttle... we let him get away a few metres before letting rip.
1st the priller, then myself on the akai onna blasted past the sad GT3 and we kept playing hard ball all the way to 260kph which, the car by then was a white speck. i waved the priller and rider adieu and took my exit. The rider indicated his intention of showing the GT3 driver what for all the way to the airport. Fun times.
Finally a chance for a breather and an update, I’ve been so piled up with work that a single weekend of Canyon Strafing and Fornication won’t be enough to de-stress me. Anyways that’s another story for a different time.
I don’t know what it is about the local road users and their “can’t lose” mentality. My regular mode of transportation doesn’t exactly scream “boy racer” or “import tuned” but that fact has not prevented the fact that I always get challenged at traffic light GPs and on the road commute. You see I’m not what you called a slow driver, however I am quite laidback in my own right when it come to driving. My experience has thought me a thing or two about speed, so even if you think I’m going fast, trust me when I say I am barely trying. I just believe in efficiency. It amuses me when another vehicle tailgates me all along a straight and end up 3 car paces behind in the corners. Sometime they just keep coming back for more and at most times to no avail.
But as far a driving goes, it baffles me completely whenever I get an “Invitation to race” when I’m on the Akai Onna, not by other fellow misery seekers, but by annoying snot-nosed, pimply faced Boy Racers in their tuned imports/local tin cans. How is it that they fail to understand that the machine I’m piloting has and ability to put most supercars to shame in the acceleration department, let alone a basic 1.8 litre turbo charged Korean reject?
Best part is, whenever I let them have the road, they seem to believe they’ve won the challenged and there have been many encounters whereby the said vehicle end up at the hangout spot as myself and I catch wind of their conversation about making me eat dust. On most cases I take it as a pathetic hubris attempt, some occasions I offer them a second chance to try humiliate me, to which I start speed school 101, at the finishing line they would turn up with a myriad of excuses on why they got pwned.
To the driver of the Altezza last nite…
If we were playing for slips, I would now own your ride but in any case I very much thank you very much for letting me own your girlfriend instead.
I'd figure i just upload all of the pictures from the day i got and installed the exhaust. i look over the net and apparently getting pictures of an 07-09 CBR with MiVV Suono or X-cone exhaust is rather difficult apart from official photo's from MiVV and other sellers. So.......

The sound is pretty damn fantastic, despite i am now not very popular amongst my neighbors. I haven't gotten a Dyno reading, although i don't really have anything to compare it to asides from manufacturer's claimed output.
I'll be sure to get a reading once a Power Commander V is installed but that could be awhile since i have other monetary commitments as of now. despite lacking in power figures, i did claim a new top speed with this mod, a few figures above from before but nothing much to shout about.
Acceleration had improved slightly too and the throttle feels much more responsive with the Slip-On than otherwise. I'll be needing earplugs now though. Thanks for sticking around and stay tuned for more mods.
