Oh, there's no shame, believe me -- the fact that we can more than "keep up" with a 50% handicap is pretty f'ing impressive, no question about it. I'm just impressed at what the HDs can do with an experienced and aggressive rider who knows what they're doing! Too often I see them ridden buy RUBs who are afraid to peg the throttle.
And no, his Harley isn't stock either, which helps him quite a bit. I'm just slightly less cocky about thumbing my nose at the HDs... until I get the FREAK and big bore, that is.
