I was there for that. Started in the tunnel on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. It sounded like the 2nd Coming. In a way, it was, because it was Judgement Day for a guy on a hot rod Harley.

What I heard was the guy on the HD tried to show Cody up, had his GF on the back. But when it was over, and Cody came outta that tunnel first on Zilla, he got embarressed for a second time by his girl. Lol...

Here is a reprint of one of my HD experiences last summer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to a Military Tribute ride Saturday in Austin. Sponsored by the local HD dealer so that is where we meet up. Bro-in-law riding a older HD Fatboy FXPEWQKF sumthin. We saunter toward the showroom and he spies a 2012 FLTRXSE-CVO. Fully decked. Cruise, ABS, stereo, custom paint, full bagger, chrome everything, 106ci Screaming Eagle motor (1800cc), custom exhaust, LED everything, 30k price tag. 40 minutes later its his. Do the ride, eat lunch, head home. I was suspecting he was gonna wanna do a roll on the way home or some other adolescent speed contest. He is two up with my grandson and I have the wife on the back. We get a clear spot. He looks back at me,('bout a bike and half length behind him) drops a cog and nails it. I roll the troops out on the XS, no down shift. ‘Bout a 60mph roll on. He starts to pull me. I go down one cog, catch up and blow past him. I shut down at an undisclosed triple digit figure, still in 4th with the custom painted, gleaming chrome HD growing smaller in my mirrors. I had to chuckle as my wife (his sister) was yelling “smoked ya” and waving bye-bye as we passed him. His CVO is a really impressive motorcycle but appeared no match for ancient iron. I can however, be envious of the plush accommodations his bike would provide for a really long ride and the fit and finish. Remains to be seen what will happen in a standing start drag race but I suspect the Screaming Eagle will once again get its feather plucked.When a 10 isn't enough, get a 11. 80g HardbaggerComment
