Any of you guys have them, or used to have them?
A group of my friends, and myself, have recently acquired a few, and we go on rides with about 8 of us. I know the idea of a moped sounds pretty dumb, i mean 50cc, pedals and a 35-40 top speed, but they really are pretty fun. Its quite an adventure not knowing if you are going to make it, going places where cars can't, and just messing around.
I know they were pretty big in the 70s during the gas shortage, and it seems like a good mix of owners, both young and old.
Truthfully, you cannot complain about a $100-500 bike which reliably gets 80-100 miles to the gallon and gets you around town quicker than a car. No insurance, one time $18 registration and no special liscence. Why aren't these more popular?
Am I the only guy on here with one?
