Confession.
Rode in to work this morning and hit the city streets just before 7am.
It was still dark and I came up to a set of red lights. A v8 Holden statesman was already waiting in the right lane.
The lanes merge into one after the lights and I stopped left to the statesman with the intention of quickly pulling away and getting in front.
I watched the crossing road lights turn yellow and saw the statesman nudge forward.
Our lights turned green and in that split second I realised the driver probably did not want me to be the first across the lights.
I don't know what came over me - I twisted the throttle hard, at the same time hearing a mighty roar from the Holden. It wasn't my best pull away but I got in front and we parted ways at the next intersection.
Thinking about it afterwards I felt quite stupid but also could not deny the rush of the moment.
I am a responsible rider, really I am. I wil not let myself be dragged into dragging again. soon.
Any other dragging stories out there?
