Remember the mantra of a few of us .... scratch

"Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill"..... thumbs up

That's a nice saying, but in real life, it rarely applies. Sad

Welome to the group, vmcurry!

What's the kid riding and how long has he been riding it?

Tip: choose a route where you'll pass by a swimming pool with a lot of bikini clad college coeds. While he's gawking, make a quick turn and take another route. He'll waste so much time looking for you, you'll be on your second beer by the time he gets there.

Extra Tip: drive by the swimming pool ahead of your ride and give one of the girls a $20 bill just to "Yoo Hoo!" him. You won't have to even take a different route and you'll be on your THIRD beer by the time he catches up.

Oh yeah: welcome to the forum!

vmcurry:

Yeah, see? He ain't playin' fair so you need to take advantage of the truism spoken by some of our buddies here: "Youth and enthusiasm is no match for age and treachery."

Additional Tip: When he blows by you, and has to stop at the next traffic light, time it so you slide up beside him just as the light turns green. As you glide on by him, make the comment "Are you sure that quick release is tight on your rear wheel there, son?"

Extra Special Tip: Tell him if he beats you three times in a row, in order to make it fair he's gonna have to buy you a brand new Lightning R-84. thumbs up
