Anything is possible, my eyes are getting old. 
That blue is dark enough and it was overcast yesterday. <- look at me make excuses.
Were you on the I-5 to I-90 exchange at 4:30pm yesterday? Windows down, roll cage, just cruising with traffic?
If so, I passed by you (on your right) when you were in the center lane. Somewhere around Mercer Island.

Nice summer day
might as well take the scooter for a nice spin
Location: top deck alaska way viaduct
Speed: 40 mph or so
Imagine the music of your 20 year old lawnmower going 40 mph with incessant chain slap
Helmet - good
high viz clothes - good
shorts - not good unless you are drunk, in a 3rd world country, and the scooter rental is on your buddy's credit card (who me?)
Aero tuck -- probably worth 5 mph on this rocket
Behold what I like to call "WFO scooter gangsta"

had to... these low displacement rockets are all about the aero... 0-36 in about a minute... then just when you think you have topped out... the tuck is like turning on the afterburner and rocketing up to 39 helmetless or 40 with helmet...
if he brought his chickenwinged elbows into his body, he may have gotten close to the speed limit... But I like to think that he keeps the elbows out for stability/drag as any faster and his chain would likely not have lasted or it would have slapped his moped to death... and this gangsta rides where there are no emergency lanes...

Sorry my post isn't nearly as entertaining as PJ's.....but spotted a black pick-up truck today that waving at me as it passed me on my way home from work. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize who it was? I was thinking maybe a 6speeder in their truck? Anyway...Hello! Sorry I didn't wave back!
