So I got a moped

[Stephen]

I have ruckus fever, even though I was looking at craigslist for a moped to trash, my mind keeps wandering to the ruckus.

Do it.

[HarryPotter]

That is awesome. I love the single steel tube frame.

oh man I loved that thing I use to rip on it down these power lines back around here, they had two dirt trails that went along side of them, I jumped that thing, ran it out of oil at least 5 times, oh man I loved that thing. Got it up to 38 once. Ran it with no air filter. The filter held it back for some reason.

Thats awesome that that thing topped out at almost 40. This one will barely make it to 30 going down hill. lol. Thats interesting about the air filter, I wonder what would happen if I took the one off of the carb on mine? The carb probably needs a rebuild anyway, I have been lazy.

love moped! i have built a custom one. my brow had a puch and so did i. check out 1977 mopeds for parts and upgrades.

[kylekrueger]

thanks, I have talked to them about parts seems like a great business. Another one is zippymoped parts. They have great service and ship very quickly IMHO.

[kylekrueger]

Joe, you don't have to hate on others just because you don't have one and you want one. :D

[Restoman]

Sweet! Man that brings back memories. I remember using a friends and having the bright idea to pedal the thing. It was huge for me at 10 to 12 years old, a Yamaha I do believe. You're going to have so much fun!

[fryerfighter94]

what about a trail 70? my dad just got one to f around with and got it for 160, and parts are crazy cheap.

[Streichholzschächtelchen]

I want a mean built ruckus.

[joshuaaa]

i bought a tomos sprint last year. so much fun to ride around town. cant beat the gas milage if your just running up to the store for something real quick.

ya thats way cool i do have a minty 1969 honda trail 90 that i have done nothing to and it looks brand new one of my gpaws friends passed away and it was in the back of his hay shed since 1974 under a tarp untouched have org. bill of sale and what not bought it for 400 bucks just sits in my shed and start it once a week.

sweet mopeds bros, I'm in the process of building a 79 Sachs G3 its getting a 2 speed with clutch and and 80cc kit plus a bunch of other goodies this winter, should do 60+ mph once I tune the kit. Another good site for performance parts is treatland.tv they have a ton of aftermarket parts for a variety of different mopeds.

[BigTe30]

Fuck man, that thing is sweet. It makes me want to get mine running so bad, but i need a new piston and i am sooo broke.

[trackjunkie21]

Almost bought one of these last week, a Tomos streetmate.

[CabbE30]

Whoa, the wayback machine has dispensed. My friend had that model, I had the trick 2-speed Puch Maxi. That was when we were 15 in '83. In CA you could ride a moped with a Learner's Permit, so it was the thing to do until you got your Driver's License. I'll bet a lot of us older guys got our first taste of vehicular freedom on a moped like that.

This is why I got my yamaha in 2007.
