Ok, Time To Turn Down The Rice?!?

**scheides** · 06-21-2006

So I'm headed in to work today, taking a left onto Hennepin off of Washington in downtown Minneapolis. I drive this route almost every day, so I have a pretty good feeling of the timing of the lights I'm going through. I got know I need to book it down Hennepin to make it through the light on 1st St (near the big USPS facility) or be forced to wait at that light for several minutes.

My buddy Paul just moved back from China (China's #1 APR rep!) and he's been staying with me, and helping me out @ work all week. Yesterday was killer, and we're both in a daze today. So, as I go to gun it down Hennepin, I take it easy, maybe 3/4 throttle and back off to 1/4 throttle and let off at about 4800rpms, and then lazily shift into third. My Tial BOV goes *kawoosh!* as it always does, and Paul ERUPTS laughing. There was a woman standing on the side of the road with some sort of iced coffee drink (the ones with the domed top) and as I passed her, I had let off and my uber-BOV had startled her so much that she DROPPED HER DRINK! She's dancing around trying to recover it and I'm still on my way.

I laughed so hard at first, but now I feel kinda bad...like I should have pulled around the block and given her some cash for being such a punk, but...oh well!

Thats pretty funny. I saw someone drop their drink like that once when a Harley cracked the throttle as it drove by.

ha haha back when i had the GSX with the SSQV Vented i went in front of a mall and let it off while there was a mom with three kids she jump and grabbed her kids so fast, i laughed so hard.

Yeah I miss my GSX I used to time shifts for bicyclists that were in the middle of the road like cars. It was also a good way to get a ladies attention if the car hadn't already, however I'm assuming it wasn't good attention.... but they at least looked

You should get an Autometer Rice-o-meter gauge just to make sure silly shit like that doesn't happen again. Make sure the rice stays in proper specs other wise you'll end up with euro tails and chrome accents coming out of your ass.

I will admit, if someone dropped their coffee or something like that because of my BOV I'd laugh my ass off too.
