What moped did you own ?

[NMH]

I didn't know Mopeds had a sexual preference?

They like golden showers.

That exhaust would have burnt the shit off you if you came off!

Tell me about it. Was a great moped though. A lot of my mates bought Yamaha sixteeners. Some had Puch Maxis.

I graduated on to a Suzuki GT250. Never bothered passing a motor cycle test. Don't think I would go back to bikes now. I am relieved that neither of my sons shared the same fascination with bikes that I had.

I can't remember what make it was but I had one in the 60's. I sold my drum kit to play for it on the basis that being able to get from Hassocks to Brighton with my own transport would give me a better chance of finding girls than playing the drums in a friend's house.

This decision explains why you will never heard of Ben Nevis and the Summitts, we disbanded to leave the field free for the Beatles.

A bright yellow Mobylette, complete with front basket, (It was a present!). Followed by a C50 Honda, (Which I rode illegally as it was not actually a moped as it didn't have pedals), and then a fizzy.
After I passed my test I had a three bikes! A brand new Yamaha DT250LC, a rough old Suzuki X7 and my darling KH250. Those were the days.

Blue AP50....loved it.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Ditto - I had one of these with a blue tank, unrestricted so used to get 50mph out of it as opposed to the restricted mopeds that only did about 35mph. Changed up to a Suzuki A100 before progressing onto cars. Both were great little bikes - preferred the AP50 to the Fizzys, sounded more like a motorbike unlike the Fizzys which sounded like an angry wasp!

They all had a blue tank didnt they? SS50 for me. My record speed on it was 38mph down by Waterhall, flat on the tank.

I am relieved that neither of my sons shared the same fascination with bikes that I had.

Shame, I actively encouraged my son & daughter to ride em and got each of them a moped ready for there 16th birthdays.

You think so? I just laugh when i see bell-ends flying round on those things thinking they are f***ing Valentino Rossi

The most embarrassing mode of transport over created in my opinion. They even beat roller blades

my current embarrassing bike
first one was a yamaha FS1e

 

[brightonbaz]

Red mobylette for me.....used to put it on the centre stand....rev the bollox off it then push it off the stand to do a wheelie!!

Then Suzuki X1 then TS 100 (had this about 3 weeks then piston rings broke) was on my X1 (hadn't had time to sell it) and was going to work on it when I tee boned a mini in Carden Avenue - this put me off bikes so got a mk3 cortina.......but couldnt resist a bike so years later Honda XL125, Honda VF400, Yamaha XJ750, Suzuki 650 Katana, Suzuki RF600 and now YZF 600.....

Is there anywhere in Sussex where you can hire and ride off-road bikes? This thread has got me thinking about 2 wheels again.

Really lovely looking bike !

 

[Lewes Seagull]

I had a blue AP50 in 1977. A 250 Hustler the year after. Loads inbetween and a 1200 bandit today. Loved them all.

 

[clockey crawley]

Really lovely looking bike !

14 years old and only 6000 miles on the clock so much better than the jap stuff on offer

 

[Lewes Seagull]

Perhaps we should organise an NSC bikers ride out
