Default Chasing down a motorcycle, GoPro video

This sequence if it works, is the neighbor kid blowing by me and 3 other cars on his crotch rocket, I had to wait for oncoming traffic to pass and to be able to see about 300' of road. Had to get it from 55 to 110 quick for an upcoming turn. For the hard core gearheads, all that passing was done in 4th gear (1:00 to 1:00) same as doing the pass in top gear of the old Muncie. I pulled 3rd to cut down on the amount of time spent in the opposing lane over the double yellow line, but upshifted to 4th at 3500 rpms. The low rpm torque has made me lazy about pulling gears or running much above 3500. 3500 in 5th is 142.5.

So my act of stupidity (you ought to see the heat I'm taking for the passing vid on the HAMB), had a positive outcome, as my neighbor's son has promised to drive 20 mph on the residential, rural street we live on, in return his Dad never sees the video. Unless he shows an interest in Cobras and shows up here.
