ive got no pics either but i had a couple of mopeds,both were rubbish i had a tomos a3-ms
(step through type thing) which was impossable to buy replacment parts as i think the company had gone bust or something and regulary broke down which was replaced with a embarresing honda mini melody complete with top box and granny basket on the front (i removed both the day i got it but it still never went over 30mph).
suppose then i had a mk1 rd125lc, 2x tzr125's etc etc.......

I had a FS1E when I was 16, can remember vividly my birthday, end of December, freezing cold but nothing was going to stop me going out on it at midnight !!!. Sadly haven't been able to find my original bike so restored this one instead, and it is sooo much fun !!!  |

My Brother took the pic with a Canon 35mm and I scanned it in about 5 years ago on my computer with an old flatbed scanner  It can't have been an expensive camera cos he was at Uni at the time and the folks didn't have much cash either  |

Haven't been on any of the runs as yet but one day hopefully |

Never had a ped but I started out on this YB100 in 1984  Great bike, totally abused but it never let in down in the 4 years I owned it. |

no moped as such, just a ke125 £10 a week brand new out of the showroom..
didnt take me too long to make a mess of this, as i soon got into moto x, and this wasnt quite up to it , LOL, ended up getting my YZ 250 for off road fun.

First was an ER50 with Original derestricted fast 50 kit on it, went really well... til some bird pushed me into a motorway bridge at full chat. The insurance money bought be an MT50 and that started something... I built lots of MT and MB's over the years. Swapped lots of engines (did all the different upgrade kits like Autissa 65cc and the 70s, but shyed away from the 125 big bore kit i found to fit the standard cases!) and parts about to make a nice disk braked MBX wheeled MT5, also an MT supermoto with MB wheels, MBX dash (with rev counter conversion) and H100 engine and home made pipe, long side panels, jacked up suspension etc most of those parts were from Holland, where they loved those bikes, but the best MB zorst was the allspeed imho... power wheelies with a 65cc kit, honda racing head and standard carb with derestricted crab rubbers. Sold the last of my MB/MT projects when I left the UK in 2005, most of them went to a guy up Newcastle way, I had a shed full of nos and spare parts...
Good to see a ZR50... havent seen one for years... my mate had one and I crashed it outside the chippy showing off to some girls when i was 17... ooopss...
