Be good to go back and handle the bullies differently though, or the odd controlling manager I’ve known! 😂

Looks like a bit of crack, but garellis and fantics? Never ever saw one, knackered fizzies and ap50’s yep loads, oil pissing Brit bikes and jap strokers absolutely. No one had any cash everything was second hand and worn out unless you were a posh t**t with wealthy parents and there weren’t that many like that about where I grew up and both my parents were teachers.

Very true Tim. The posh boy’s parents wanted them to wait a year and have a car in most cases anyway. Our group consisted of AP’s, Suzuki X1, TS50, RD50M and a BSA Beaver!. We heard tell of a kid in Crewe that had a Fantic Ti, but despite numerous forays across country we never found him 😂

Mate of mine had a Caballero too. Seemed exotic compared to the Fizzies Ap's and Dt's the rest of us had. It sounded like a load of ball bearings being shaken in a tin when it was running !! Was quick though

No one had any cash everything was second hand and worn out unless you were a posh t**t with wealthy parents and there weren’t that many like that about where I grew up and both my parents were teachers. My buddy had a Garelli Record, Not a bad bike at all. But for me, I would of preferred an AP50 but I had to make do with a fizzy which cost me £100........... My dad were a toolmaker..... so we were as poor as piss! The lad with the AP was the son of a garage owner... loaded.... rode the thing like he was carrying eggs...whit a waste. There were loads of us with peds in 5th form, it must have been the zenith of moped ownership (late 70's) as in the years previous or after, there was nowhere near as many.... (Maybe it was just my year/age group that were all mental or something....) ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
