Mopeds

Now I’ve finished laughing at you 'ped Harry, I have to admit that I have owned a couple. First one was a 1978 Honda PA50 Camino (pedal start / no indicators / 2 stroke). That was just for fannying around the garden. Very similar to what you have, but with the fuel tank round the crosstube

12 years ago I had this for a few months…well it was £50 and didn’t need much work.

Depsite it being derestricted and do 90km/h. It could only do that on the flat and was woeful at hauling my fat arse up hills. Had to badger the DVLA as it was down as an ERF 50cc moped when quite clearly it’s an Italjet. Flogged it on for £350.

With that in hand I bought a very good CD250U for commuting duties.

My brother also has a full m/c licence but had a Honda H100S II around the age of 24 which he managed to crash avoiding a Volvo at a junction. He gave up after that, but return to two wheels in his mid forties and bought a brand new 2014 Honda Little Cub (50cc) He lives in Japan and no all that long ago got a speeding ticket on it!
