Naw just faster than the smart-alec roadie. Day before yesterday, a guy on an upright cruiser swooshed past and opened up a gap - I wasn't even tempted to pretend I could ride faster than him.

So I finally heard him come up from behind and held my thumb up on my left hand. Was sort of a "right on" gesture. He passes and I get behind him. Then a short while later the motor craps out again. I swing by him again and he yells "AAAAH!" So much for the awsome power of the moped...
Just wait until he graduates to a motorcycle, then he'll show you!
