LOL...you need to revisit your math too..hahaha...at 60 mph it would be 1 mile per minute and therefore 10 miles for 10 minutes. ;) I think the part that got wrong was that it should say that at a speed of 60 mph, 6 stops at 10 minutes puts you 60 miles behind. Anyway, the point was really that we fly by Kieran at times and he always manages to make time up on us. He is a great guy...very dedicated Lambretta rider...no surprise that he is currently the President of the Lambretta Club of the USA. Hope to see you soon...keep your scooter running and join us for a ride when you are in the area. Cheers. Roy In response to Neil’s comment:

The ride will end in Ocean City...looks like most of us have booked at the Days Inn Oceanfront. I think you will see people arriving anytime between 3pm and 6pm....I will try to find out more over the next few days what is planned upon our arrival in Ocean City.

We are on the east coast and would like to come out and support you on Saturday as you finish up in Ocean City. What time do you think everyone will be there?

I'm guessing it was never Rocket's strong suit either... I guess... "Rocket says that if you go a steady 60 miles per hour and you stop 10 times for only one minute, that puts you behind by 60 miles and that is impossible to make up!" In my world... a 10 minute stop @ 60/mph is a SIX (6) mile defecit. PLEASE... don't let him calculate his fuel load! godspeed. ummm… while I flunked math… I’m guessing it was never Rocket’s strong suit either… I guess…
