Recently entered the intermediate level class at the race track.Today in my group was this little girl maybe 12yo on this little purple 300 Kawasaki bike. Groups are separated primarily by skill level so we have 250s all the way up to 1,000+cc sportbikes mixed all together.The sessions begin and we all get lined up. Ducati 1098's, R6's, gsxr 1,000's everybody on these big race ready bikes. Then I see her pull up to the line with her little purple 300, in her little purple leathers with kitty cat designs bedazzled on the back. I thought it was adorable. Then on the track I kept coming up to her on some corners in the beginning of each session.Looking at this little kid leaned over on this bike just hanging out completely relaxed, eyes focused on the line. Was the coolest thing to me. (One of very very few tiny moments I consider it might not be so bad to have kids one day)Then I would rip around her on my obnoxiously loud R6 and leave her in the dust and never see her until the next session. Forget she even existed....The day ends, I go home and start looking up the times for today. I already knew my best time because I beat my personal today and was super stoked. On the app the times are public so you can see how you compare to everyone else. I see one of the profile pictures below mine and it's the little girl in purple leathers. So obviously I have to click and see what kind of times she was doing today?....What is her best time?............1:40..... ONE : FORTY...... ONE : FUCKING FORTY.... (as in... barely 2 second behind me)Then I look at the times for each lap.... 1:42, 1:41, 1:41, 1:41, 1:41...... Completely consistent every lap and no more than 1-2 seconds behind me every time.I apologize if this is a stupid post.... But when I did the math and realized this little girl on that purple 300 was literally on my ass the entire day... I just looked at my phone and said "No."All my "racer" friends on 600cc+ bikes... She beat them. The entire novice class.... She beat them. Guys on 1,000's... She beat them.I can not believe how fast that fucking kid is... I just... can't. I road so hard that day and gave it my all! Power wheeling and making the front tire skip while braking hard into turns. I was pushing it, I wanted to progress. Passing everyone I could.But that little girl... every time I saw her.... she had the demeanor of someone just riding to the grocery store. Steady pace just cruising.I don't understand it. I have double the power, I'm double her age. How did she even keep up with me?? I THOUGHT I was fast. NO. That girl is fast!I'm doubling my efforts and continuing my practice sessions. I will NOT allow this little girl with kitty cat stickers on a purple bike to challenge me! Do you understand me??? ....Little girl, your days are numbered.tl;dr - Little purple girl with little purple 300 Kawasaki is fast as fuck and showed everyone up including myself. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/8rzyrw/little_girl_on_little_bike_was_a_serious_reality/?utm_source=ifttt
