I thought you said you had the fastest 50cc machine there. How come everyone was passing you?

Oh, that's okay, then. Canadians are always a little behind.

What was the speedometer reading on the (last frame) Camera man's bike?

All I know is that I was doing 50. The camera guy slowed down to get the shot. The guys behind me were on 150s. They eventually went on ahead. Of the 50s, I was the fastest 50. 50 on flat ground and 58 on a hill. Lot's of flat ground at OBX. The film guy from Canada was on a 250. He and the 150s were hitting 70. One guy turned his 250 into a 600. He was pretty fast. 0 to 90 in about 3 seconds. The CVTs on those bike and the power to weight ratio made that possible. He is also from Canada. There was one Harley and one CBR 250. Don't let the 250 on the CBR fool you. It will do every bit of 140. We don't what the 600 will do. He stopped after 160 when he was on a straight in Ohio.

The speedo you are referring to was marked in Km.

You're right, of course. As I've told you more than once, I love BC and would move there permanently if I thought they'd let me in.

You can get on an automatic bike and use a wrist assist lever on the throttle to get your sea legs back ... if you were so inclined. I know Cor Sport can build you a custom scooter from an existing scooter if you wanted go to that route and the Silver Wing ABS is a 600cc beast.
Don't leave out the Morpheus and the Bergman.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be about a Chinese philosopher, or someone getting goosed.

You should call Rick Shaw to give you a ride to the library so you can look up the differences.
