leaving my town to the N is a long, straight, steep hill .. always a good place to do tuning WOT runs, and listen to yur exhaust note when you go under the train trestle
also, theres an extra 'uphill' lane added right where the speed limit goes from 25 to 55
so I'm heading out

... and on my tail is a newer GoldWing.. riding kinda close, and he's looking ahead to where the extra lane comes on, so he can pass me
just leaving town, doing 30, when we were 50' from the speedlimit/extra lane..I dropped down to 2nd and hammered it
hit the factory 12psi quick, open pipes were bellowing, quickly speedshifted into 3rd, pulling hard
AND the GL1800 motors by effortlessly, no real noise but like a whirring sound, driver looks over, with a quick nod, and lane changed in front of me, and continued to pull
I'm topping out 3rd, into 4th.. he was 300.. 350 .. 400 yards away.. By By

That bike only has a little less horsepower than you and is about 2500lb lighter. Get a IC and up the boost.

Guess you were driving your stock red tc. Not telling you your business but you know better. Any bike out there that has 1 HP per 10 pounds will whoop a TC. My bike is 640 pounds with about 80 HP. My SRT is 5100 pounds 520 HP and wouldn't stand a chance.
Was a bit younger - got on my friends 1000 cc Ninja. Talk about a trip..... LOL bobbymac
PS Don't forget to give a toast to the fallen brave today. GB them.
