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.

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. Crying or Very sad emoticon
Could swap and run again to see/feel if yellow really is the fastest.

Just after reading your inaugural message in this thread I knew that there was a question of weight !!! She's lighter than you and she won !!!

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

My wife would not like that one bit and I'm not that kind of guy.

Okay a few pounds or stones to lose is true in 4 years I gained 60lbs now I,m 220.

Maybe I don't know how to ride a vespa just yet I'm new at it.

I'll check tire pressure. my gas mileage is a bit low.

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.

Wait. You knew that you have a 100lb disadvantage, and you thought you could win with skills? What skills? Wider that WOT? Or just the black?

Fill us in on your secrets, man.

We all ride for our own reasons, She is still new to riding so it may take time for her to find the way, "to each his own" in our area also we have to ride 40 miles to get to a good ride.
