Default classic moment from Satruday's ride

We took the triple out on Satruday for about 25 miles We were on a flat stretch of road about 4-6 miles long with several places that have slight downhil grades. Any downhill grade really helps the triple. So we were passed at a stoplight (we were stopped and waiting and they timed the change to blow by us as we were just starting) by a couple of poseurs in full racing kits and CF bikes. About a mile down the road we hit one of these lsight downhills and so I put the hammer down and my wife joined in; pretty quick we are flying on this thing and come up on these guys, who are doing only about 21-22 mph. We were at about 24-26 mph and as we go zipping by my 8 year old on the back rings his bell and very cheerfully (and sincerely) says "See ya later!" It made me laugh. Not sure their reaction, but it would sort of be like buying a porsche and getting passed by a minivan, I guess.
