Mopeds

Posted on Monday 10 July 2006

Mopeds are geeky, small, and wonderful. They might not go all that fast, but nevertheless, they are a blast to ride.

    Mopeds ARE fun! One thing though, how did you get away with using that song??

    Sweet action! That looked so fun (and you get bonus points for wearing a helmet )! And nearly 25mph? That thing screams!!

    I rented a scooter in the Bahamas once and, never having ridden one before, promptly ran it in reverse into the lobby plate-glass window. I bounced right off, but they took it away from me and suggested I rent a bicycle instead.

    Fun fun! I’m wondering though… how did you do the whole camera thing when driving? That looks like it must have been hard to get all those angles. Nevertheless, you did it and it made a great video! Rock on!

    There is one word to describe you in that video: tough. Run with it, dude.

    I have something a bit less safe… a motor skateboard.

    Doesn’t touch 25 MPH though. Too bad the weather isn’t as cool as Michigan, do that here in Texas and you’ll be sweating like a pig.

    Nice. I haven’t riden a moped in many a year. Back in the earlier days of high school, I rode a moped all the time. Had a paper route to go with it and everything. Shoot, I once even had a girl ride on the back of it with me. Oh yeah, I was hot. Cheers.

    Those mopeds are almost cool enough to not be mopeds. You need a metal spike in your helmet though. And I learned from Sly Stallone that a match in the mouth lakes you look pretty derm tough. Does your brother rebuild these things? Very nice rides.

    Used to moped all over Honolulu when I was in college.
    That was until I got me 1976 Dodge Dart.
    But I’ll always have a place in my
    heart for my moded days.
    Loved “handy” two shot.

    Beautiful peds! Like your brother, I too have fallen in love with mopeds. I am planning out the route for my moped ride from Wisconsin to Ohio and if everything goes according to plan I’ll be riding through Grand Rapids…
