I have a bike.

Well, I "kind of" have a bike. My sister had problem with her 49cc scooter starting, and it ended up at my place. I've been driving it to work and around town. It's a fun little ride. A plus to it is that I don't have to have a motorcycle license. It's not the most manly ride (or color). I'll try my dad's '57 Triumph when I go home; hell he doesn't ride it. [:D]

    Yeah, but people don't have pictures of me riding a moped. [:D]

    Here's the Triumph. It looked exactly like this when I was young, then dad redid it a while ago to black.

    ...be careful...and a lot of people spent more time under their Tiumphs than on them, careful there too. Saves gas, fun?...who cares how "manly" it is...enjoy, and be safe...[;)]

    I used to ride a Puch moped to school every day. Now I have a Honda Cj360 and a Suzuki GT380 that is being restored, but that little moped is still the most fun to ride.

    I love not having to shift; pull the throttle and go. It is also pretty zippy. It tops out at 40mph, but how fast do I need to go intown?

    I got kicked out of my Junior year prom for having a race around the HS track in the pouring rain, against a friend of mine with a Honda moped. Lots of fun.

    got one of those 49cc Choppers, its funny to see a 6 foot 200 lb guy on one (me) whats even funnier is to see my friend try it, hes about 5'10" and 280. but it does save on the gas, kinda

    I hope Im not the only one who is picturing Jim Carey riding his "hog" in the movie Dumb and Dumber. The fact that he is riding to Aspen in the movie cannot be a coincidence.

    need to get at least one of my bikes back on the road, spent last season without a ride[:0]
    cant find jets for the carbs on the one, they are so worn it got to the point that it sounded like a pro-stock comeing to the line and getting about 12 mpg...but ran like a raped ape opened up[:D]

    I go to the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and somehow it has become extremely popular for the football players to drive around on mopeds. Seeing one 250 lineman on it is funny, but more often than not, seeing them double up is even funnier.

    You need to ship that moped off to OCC, they can show you how to get some HP out of the 49cc powerplant. Maybe get it up to 50mph.

    I imagine putting straight pipes and a better intake would do. I'll put that on my "To do" list.
