MOPED ARMY

I used to draft behind semi’s, 50 mph dart e50 would hit 60 easy in that zone. Pretty dangerous shit though because I would ride their bumper. Haven’t done that in a while, I haven’t had a fast bike for 10 years to do it. I did however build another e50 about a month ago, and it will go back on that dart frame I have.

Used to draft to get up hills without slowing down. Modded-stock streetmate would do 45mph on flats, waaaayy less uphill with no draft assist. (edited)

I do it all the time. But you gotta pick the right guy to draft. I'll do it for fun when someone drives past and and gives me a thumbs up or something.

It's probably pretty funny to see a guy on a moped in full tuck a few feet from an SUV bumper doing 60...

My 18x43 gearing isn’t exactly too much yet. I can go one size leaner on main and maybe even advance timing a little. My estoril is still restricted too. Guess I’m just playing it very safe. First “fast” capable moped and I’ve never seized. Not wanting to change that.

I always loved mopeds. Riding at speed on the highway with traffic adds so much more excitement to it. Gotta stop playing with this tame build and get crackin on my 50/50 race bike. Feelin like it’s time to get off the porch and run with the big dogs because the speed bug has definitely bitten deep.

I screen shot this pic more than a year ago and want to make it happen. Can’t always count on traffic to draft, need to make my own way through the air.
