I thought you said you had the fastest 50cc machine there. How come everyone was passing you?
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Are you daft man?! I was the guy in front yelling woo hoo and the guy filming is from Canada. Canadian, film crew.
Oh, that's okay, then. Canadians are always a little behind.Originally Posted by KG4CGC

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.

Jealous about not being Canadian i'm assuming ....... ;)
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!
Walk and Talk like a Canajun!!
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.

Gawd, I miss riding. Scooters are cool.

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.
