You're no fun, Doug.  I often get asked to race - old fart on an old farty bike 
is an easy target.  I _always_ accept, with the proviso that I choose the 
destination.  If I've got a Russian visa in my passport, I choose Moscow.  
Otherwise it will be somewhere in Poland that they've never heard of and 
couldn't write down.  As it registers on their face, I move off.  I've had one 
guy loop it trying to get away before me in a paddy and more than one end up 
spinning.  Then they come hurtling past me, gesticulating, as I laugh - open 
face helmets are good for letting the opposition know what you think of them....
