That's I-70 down there...(AKA, no-man's-land IMHO for a 260lb, short wheelbase, 12" tired, 58>62mph, plastic scooter)

I often have my 125 scoot on the highway and am not the slowest vehicle. Drafting with 2 seconds of following distance for reaction time behind a line of big rigs takes me to 82 mph.

Heck, I even avoid the Interstate with my motorcycle...only getting on when absolutely necessary! On the scoot? I think I've seen an indicated 65 (probably a real 59 ish) in a long downhill tuck. Can't imagine drafting semis at 80mph!! That takes guts.

May take guts for some, but in my case youth alone has always sufficed.

I do envy your Burgman headlight Stig.

"....lights...."
Yeah, best I've ever had - especially after I got under the nose and aimed them for my weight and rear shocks pre-load.
The Forza had twin running headlights, too.
Never understood why some build 'em with two headlights - but illuminate only one.
