Sam was buzzing with excitement, checking over every last detail of her bike before the race, same as the other riders. Every piece and part looked prime, a good engine revving, proving there were no catches or strikes.

He lifted his hand in the air to quiet the sizable crowd of spectators, his other arm around the waist of the very pretty girl who lifted a checkered flag at the same time. He smiled to the crowd, hating how all eyes were on him, yet loving the respect he commanded with just one hand. After a long few minutes of complete silence other than the idling bike engines, he kissed the cheek of the flag girl and pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand before he dropped his arm dramatically, causing her to giggle and wave the flag excitedly.
