well today I raced the yellow gts vespa red light to red light on PCH and lost, Maria left me in the dust It was sad since I've been telling her the black gts came faster from the factory. To make a long story short she kicked my ass by at least 20 yards. I was WOT.

I lost so I had to pay for Dinner at her favorate place.. I'll tell you I weight at least 100lbs more then her so her 250cc works less. I was hoping I could beat her with skill but no such luck she went WOT too and dusted me.

No shame in losing race, shame is not honoring bet- Confusis say...
Next time,go 7lbs higher psi on tires, hold left brake, throttle up RPMS and beat her in release off the line by a second. If she catches you then weight/air mass is your enemy. ![]() Could swap and run again to see/feel if yellow really is the fastest. |

She was obligated to the dinner date. Play your cards right and this may lead to something. |

she"s just a friend a group of us hang out that work for the same company but she is nice. I talked to her today and she said that she had only half throttle, I'm going to race her again. I can't see only half the gas when I was WOT.

if you have a racing fuel supplyer then you could pick up some 100 octane fuel to give you the edge if you wanted it. i use 93 and 100 octane mix 50/50 and it really gives a good boost. i go to a local citgo and they have it. good luck.

Weight makes too much of a difference on our scoots when doing short point-to-point racing.

"Riding for fun is a waste of time" The poor lady! I hope she has an epiphany and she understands that riding for fun is a reason to live. That and taking ladys to dinner, or cooking for them at home... R
