They're pretty good at taking on Ferraris, too:

A doctor goes out and buys the best car on the market, a brand new
Ferrari GTO It is also the most expensive car in the world, and it
costs him $500,000.

He takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light. An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to him.
The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?"

The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!"

"That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?"

"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor
proudly.

The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?" "No problem,"
replies the doctor.

So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then,
sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice
car, all right, but I'll stick with my Moped!"

Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old
man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds, the
speedometer reads 160 mph. Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear
view mirror. It seems to be getting closer!

He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly

WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH!

Something whips by him going much faster! "What on earth could be
going faster than my Ferrari?" the doctor asks himself.

He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph. Then,
up ahead of him, he sees that it's the old man on the Moped! Amazed
that the Moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and
passes the moped at 275 mph.

WHOOOOOOOSHHHHH!

He's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN!
Astounded by the speed of this old guy, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again!
The Ferrari is flat out, and there's nothing he can do! Suddenly, the Moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing
the rear end. The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably the
old man is still alive. He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Oh My Gosh! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man whispers, "Unhook ... my suspenders ... from your ...
side view ... mirror."

A motorcycle cop pulled me over down in Tennessee to remind me of the helmet law. We compared bikes, and then we rode together a few miles where he pointed out the rode to the Tail of the Dragon. Up on the mountain I rode with a guy on a Triumph sport bike. A good friend of mine rides a Yamaha Virago. Doesn't matter what you ride, just that you enjoy the ride, so keep waving..

With respect to you, maybe just wave back to them if they waved first?
It would have probably made their day. Ya never know--ya may be down on the side of the road someday and a Vespa dude or a cute dudette might pull over to see if your OK!

I wave to all--with the exception of the M/Cs cuz I know they will never wave back....

I hate to wave first at scooter riders.. it scares me to think that they will have to take one hand off the bars to wave back.. some don't look/act like they can do that and stay upright.. btw i wave with fingerless gloves.. that may scare them..

I kinda cower down behind my handlebars and hope they do not see me. Especially if they are in a group, ya just never know when they have a prospect with them and he wants to make a name for himself. these guys are mean!
