I distinctly remember Swane saying the first day on the Interstates averaged 30mph... What Amy does keep well hidden is just how difficult it is to ride TheMoped. If you have never ridden a sidecar rig it is impossible to understand -- let me just say that it takes real intestinal fortitude just to ride one, let alone drop one. It also takes amazing arm muscles, which I don't have. Amy has this air of hidden power that I could not rationalise until I rode TheMoped. Martyn
