Guy pulls up beside me, looks over and guns it. I'm still at 72. Probably gets up to 90 or so in his 'race' with me. He was obviously paying a lot more attention to me than to the cop sitting in the median. LOL!
So of course the cop pulls out, the guy slows down & ducks back over to the right hand lane in front of me. HE's HARD on the brakes now and I catch up to him about the same time the cop does. Cop pulls up beside me, gives me a little smile, I back off, let him in between us and he pulls the guy in the Grand Am.
I so wanted to go back and talk to the cop after that one. I mean this happened right in front of him. Hardest I'd laughed in a while. The guy was so focused on trying to get me to race that he never saw the cop...

Had a similar story back when I was riding w/my buddy.
Sitting at a stop light:
Turn lane: WS6 T/A
Left lane: Smaller car
Middle lane: Us
Right: lane: Cop
The WS6 proceeds to just roast the tires at the green arrow and then take off around the turn. The traffic light turns green and the smaller car and us don't move, the opposing lanes of traffic don't move. We just let the cop pull out and cut across the intersection and pull this guy over before he even gets across the crosswalk.
Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on the road.
