Ok, I've been here reading a lot and posting a little, and thoroughly enjoying the
message board here. This weekend I got to swarm with some other moped'ers
for the first time. Way Too Cool. As I've mentioned before, I live in Delaware, and
there are no other functional mopeds in my area, hell scooters are rare enough
to come across here. Well with the Nascar race at Dover Downs this weekend,
a lot of the race fans bring their peds to navigate the crowds. I couldn't pass up the
opprotunity. Went out riding and first ped I passed was a Targa going the opposite
direction, honking his "aflac duck" horn. Later in the night, I was sitting at the
local grocery store, when approached by about 6 guys on peds, admiring the
shiny BiTurbo, and asking how fast, etc.. Gave a little demonstration, including
a small wheelie, and proof that it would in fact go 50. Rode around with these
guys for about a half hour, picking up straglers as we went, ending up with about
15 peds in all. Being the fastest and the loudest ped in the bunch only added to
the fun. Rode by one bunch of drunks (out of several) when somebody yelled out
"look out, it's a moped gang". A burst of gas and an impressive/scary wheelie
drew as much applause as laughter. I've got to say, I get the whole swarming thing
now, and you guys are lucky to have friends to ride with.
